Knew I shohld have watched the masterchef final

Still think we will get the away goal, just need to keep our concetration at the back

 

[abu13]

When was the last time we cane back from a goal down at half time? Genuine question here cos it’s not looking good

Along time ago, but that has to change at some point and why not tonight.

 

[BluechesterCity]

Foden should go out wide ahead of Zinch a few times, if not to set himself up to take on the defender then at least to drag a defender or two away from the box.

PS: anyone else hearing this pathetic excuse for a human, Carragher, singing 'Hey Jude" on BT!

 

[Blue Maverick]

WE WILL WIN THIS! they score another it changes nothing, we score in first 15 minutes & they panic, a second for us & it’s done.....Mahrez/Bernie for Jesus is the obvious sub but I think I’m leaning towards Raz for Phil (slaps face) his ability to win penalties and go inside or out will have their right back flapping

Switch Foden left Raz on left for Mahrez, Fernandinho on for Rodri, still leaves us 2 subs for extra time if needed

Jude Bellingham is officially the youngest player ever to be wanked off by a tv station

By Mr Jenas, the face of fucking EVERYWHERE

 

[Blu1]

Many, many people wanted him hung, drawn and quartered on Saturday. Funny how he’s a better player when sat on the bench.

He’s a striker for me & we dont have one on the pitch which is nuts because we have to score

 

[Deleted member 77198]

The big worry with us is that we rarely turn it around when we go behind. Got a feeling it will be another one of those nights where we end up rueing missed opportunities.

Thankfully we only need an equaliser and don’t have to win the game... as it stands!

 

[kalouk]

I wouldn't mind Torres coming on he seems show no fear in shooting at goal.

 

[Decepticon]

A lesson to those that say we don't need to spend big for the best players. Did you see PSG yesterday? Exactly.

 

[deano ou812]

Groundhog Day these fucking champions league quarterfinals,ffs we are due a change of luck ..

 

[Cornish_Blue]

They have defended in numbers and just let us have it and then compress the space from 35 yards out. We aren’t moving the ball forward quick enough. We are going side to side to let them regroup and shut out the gaps. When we DO get in the box, they have closed down the route to goal with numbers.
Parked bus in 2nd half, which I don’t think we will be able to penetrate.
Looks like a QF exit yet again.

 

[bagger69]

Come on City

 

[Don Karleone]

Yeah which is mental that we can still achieve so much but I think we really need to win a UCL to go that next step

Agree with that but we're still well in this. Too soon imo to be thinking like we're out.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Just watching that Mahrez chance again, there's the GK and 2 defenders right in front of him, two of them on the ground already and he tries to pass it through them?...that needed to be lifted over them

He should of just put his foot through it instead of trying to be cute

 

[leithblue]

Good point. Zin got so much room but not doing anything with it. He keeps doing the Wayne Bridge check back inside move.

That’s the problem with a false nine, he’s got nobody in the box when he looks up so ends up recycling it back to Rodri or Gundogan in midfield

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Not watching the first 10 mins of the second half, in the hope I turn it on and we’ve bagged

 

[oddfellows]

Only good news is that if Dortmund score next, it doesn’t really change things. We need to go for it.

Correct we need to score or were out simples

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

They are walking around Rodri, who is getting caught with triangles, not helped my Bernardo seemingly not knowing where he is playing.

Zin is having a mare, and using both our full backs as the actual delivery supply is helping Dortmund defend the sides.

It might be false nine but it is very orthodox in the areas of concern, only De Bruyne and Gundo are showing any desire to force the issue.

Not a clue how long we leave this, but Jesus and Sterling at some stage?

 

[Jamiblue]

Come on City, man!

 

[carlosthejackal]

Said in the pre match that this false number nine doesn’t work against these unless you’ve got Messi playing the role .
