Jeeeeeeez.

We really need a striker...

I actually thought some of our passing first half was sloppy, we took our chances I thought sporting looked half decent first half.

Great overall performance a couple of thunder bastards ,happy days

So did Pep.

I can’t see what the problem was with the commentary. They praised us throughout.

Post match. Ex rags lauding us in the studio.

Problem is you are obviously not insane enough to be a proper blue.

Rag:-)

Makes the second leg irrelevant, might enquire about a refund .

We are getting spoilt. Spoilt.

Good grief, that was fantastic. Great performance by the team, somewhat greedily I am very happy to have kept a clean sheet too. Impressed by their fans, all appeared to have stayed. Can't see that the Etihad would have been that full had we been 5 down. In fact it probably won't be that full if we win 5 - 0 in the reverse. Good goals too.

They must have a decent tram system in Lisbon!

halland who?

 

[Dribble]

A brilliant performance. A few sloppy passes early on, but we were ruthlessly clinical when it counted.

I felt sorry for Sporting at times, but it is what it is, as we've been there ourselves. What goals from Bernardo & Sterling!

My one gripe is at 60 & 70 minutes I wanted more substitutions to rest players, protect them from injuries & suspensions, & to give some of the youngsters a run out & a night to remember.

All in all a brilliant night. Let's put it to bed in 2 weeks, & hopefully roll on to the last 8.

Plenty of tickets knocking about for the home leg no doubt.

Did they turn the mics down when the entire stadium booed the champions league anthem?

 

[Deleted member 81382]

We made a good team look distinctly average and we made it look so easy.

 

[cleavers]

That was a clinical performance, and I agree with Bernardo and Pep, we can play better.

 

[Bigga]

My B-i-L asked which goal I preferred, between Bernie and Sterling's.

Sterling's reminded me of the one he scored pre-season about 3 years ago in [I want to say] Thailand? It was so effortless, then, and didn't celebrate it. I thought that was going to be standard all season, but it didn't happen.

Good goal, either way.

I prefer Silva's as that was sheer gold!

He watched the play from the edge of the box, read what the possibility was, ran in and had the technique to not slash at the strike!

All day, my favourite goal of the season for all the components of it!

 

[mike1923]

Really? That is quite astonishing.

That is outrageous!

 

[BlueMojito]

What a great time to be a blue. Never take it for granted, just enjoy it.

 

[blue whippet]

They must have a decent tram system in Lisbon!

According to the City in house pre match programme Manchester has a bigger tram network than Lisbon, so Natalie Pike said anyway.

 

[DMA's]

Good win but hard to judge the level of the performance as their defending and set up tactically was laughably bad. Glad to see Sterling back to his best

Mine will be one of them, I'm not travelling 350 miles over 2 days, the cost of the travel is too much. If I don't sell my ticket I only lose the price of it, not the cost of the rest of it.

Thanks Pep and the boys :)

 

[ancoats]

thank fuck am not a city player coming in 5.0 and pep is throwing cups because you missed a pass or you lost the ball

boy talk about a iron fist hahahahahaha
