45 minutes away from history. COME ON CITY.

What history mate?

 

[clarion]

Too many attacking players on the pitch. Only Rodri can hold.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

How has that cabbage patch kid-looking twat not had a yellow?

 

[Blueknows]

The ref lost control by not booking casmeiro for the tackle from behind on Kev and how he.wasnt booked for hauling down Phil is a mystery

 

[M Gaudino]

giving away far too many corners and casually wasting counter attacking opportunities.

hopefully a bit more organisation and discussion at half time sorts us out - it often does

editing myself to say only 2 corners but fuck it feels more than that

 

[razman]

They won't have an option, but to out attacking.

Benzema changed it in a few minutes vs PSG, but we are stronger mentally and better than them

Come on city!!

 

[christened at st marks]

Cortwat has been the one that needed to pull off the saves

 

[Roachy]

Conceding possession bit cheaply at times.

 

[FantasyIreland]

How in the world hasn't Casamiro not received not just 1 but 2 yellow cards?????

It's a joke,the podgy **** is getting away with murder.

 

[deegee33]

Well I guess that's the difference when both teams have their strongest defensive players available.

Casemiro totally played the ref. The classic commit a foul and pretend you got injured so you get away with it. It amazes me that they fall for it, but it happens all the time.

Absolute horseshit call

 

[eastmanc]

Need to score and keep the ball better.

 

[super_city_si]

Not a big fan of sterling but he will put the work in

Mahrez is contributing nothing

 

[Stockport mackem]

So far so good.....at some point they'll need to take risks....I'd bring on Sterling to hit them in the break for last half-hour

 

[mosssideblue]

Sterling on for Mahrez please Pep

Why?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Good half. Its the champions league semi final away leg. whilst we're capable of it, we can't expect to smash them. We've played a clever controlled game and had the better chances.

Nobody is playing poorly. Kdb had a slow start but he's getting upto speed now, mahrez could maybe give us a little bit more, he's letting mendy be the out ball a bit too easily for my liking, raz to come on to that job as the second half progresses. Diaz needs to tighten up his marking otherwise all good.

Just need one goal here and I feel like we would see it out comfortably. Problem is, we know Madrid can score from nothing, they do that and this game gets flipped in an instant. Would like to see us hit them hard first 10 minutes second half and go for that safety net goal.

Very rational and balanced post. What the fuck are you doing in here?

 

[discopop]

Jake Humphries is an Uber ****

 

[youngbob]

Fern coming on. So that's us fucked.

 

[Beanhead]

Oh my fucking life. Fern is coming on for Walker :( we are fucked.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Walker may be coming off....big problem that.

 

[SWP's back]

We are going to need to score but I'm also concerned they'd step up their game if we do

Arrrghhhh

That’s a risk I’m willing to take
