[Chi-town blues]

Pep turned haaland into jo

 

[Stoned Rose]

Have we figured out whether City are better or worse with Haaland yet?

When we hit him early and give him something to run onto we’re absolutely mustard.

 

[WallyA]

Stones in midfield shockingly works...


I think he should go into the box for the wingers to cross we have so many tall players on.


Perhaps its only bc leipzig are shit tho...

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Yeah it’s a yellow card but the pen regardless how soft is a pen going by the champions league interpretation..

I thought they'd finally got away from this shit though. I know we've had some shite like that against us in the past. Otamendi with his back turned is one that I remember especially.

 

[Wellsblue21]

Too much positivity in here

 

[aguero93:20]

I did say hat-trick...

 

[Damien10]

The quicker tempo when we higher up the pitch really suits Haaland!

When the tempo is fast the defensive players can’t take time getting into good positions. When we are to slow they get set up and make it harder to break them down. Playing faster in the final third is so key and that’s what we haven’t done enough this season.

 

[Gabriel]

Perhaps this was UEFA making good on a missed call ?

Then they’ve got a long way still to go. :-)

 

[SebastianBlue]

Kev is looking very good, has to be said.

 

[Bigga]

Good grief, don't make my mistake!

Get yourself to the bog now as anything could happen in the second half!!

 

[wolviedinho]

The players have improved the balls into Haaland tenfold. That’s how to utilise the big fella.

 

[argyle]

Are the people in the pre-match thread still fearing the worst?

Top performance. KDB and Haaland in particular.

Bit of a mad moment with Ederson and Rodri.

No way was that pen.

 

[SamBlue]

All the crap decisions and sheer poor luck that has been following us like a bad smell in the CL for years has been repaid compressed in 45 minutes. Ridiculous! :)

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Great half from us, we played some excellent football.

 

[jimharri]

have all the pre match knicker wetters and rags fucked off yet

Hopefully, there will be few posts from them in the remainder of the game.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Have we figured out whether City are better or worse with Haaland yet?

He’s only any good when Jadon Sancho is setting them up for him.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

We look the dogs bollocks tonight. Fucking love it.

 

[havefaith]

Now thats what you call a tap in merchant, great first half.

 

[willipp]

What a brilliant half of football. Never a pen in a million years, but hey we take it. Just what we needed tonight as I feared it would be a tough night, but we’ve been superb.

 

[Barcon]

Brilliant. Get Earl off and Alvarez on.
