Match Thread | Man City vs RB Leipzig (14/03/23)

[Metalartin]

Lescott and Nedum is a nice change I will give BT that. Not often they let City pundits outnumber them.

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

I’m still not certain it touched his outstretched arm. I’ll take it. They owe us. But if it was given against us I’d be raging.

I thought the Werner yellow was weird. Was expecting at least a yellow for Eddie.

The refereeing has been excellent….. for us.

But we have the tactics right tonight regardless. Went sloppy at times but we are playing well generally.

Well that wasn’t too shabby.

I’m at the ground so haven’t seen the replays.

Was it a pen ?

Was Eddy lucky not to get a card ?

Didn’t the header for the third goal cross the line before Haaland got a touch, it looked like it from where I’m sat

My mate texted me from the game asking if I saw the light show. Was it good?

it was very good

Didi Hamann looking rough on RTE 2, suspect he'll be in the bookies with a weissbier after this

 

[Don Karleone]

Just seeing Haaland rush to get a touch on that third goal is beautiful. He really wants it!

Imagine getting a sympathetic ref like this every game. It's a glimpse of rag-world.

 

[Gabriel]

Penalty rocked Leipzig, the suddenness of the second knocked the stuffing out of them, and that brief spell of Manchester‘s finest spring weather floored them.

 

[jollylescott]

Kev’s looking like a lean, mean fighting machine and that makes a world of difference to us in this game and for the rest of the season.

Usual shite that kills any hope of a pre match atmosphere

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Ferdinand will be hurting like fuck inside watching that sat next to Nedum & Lescott ha!ha!

I don't mind Ferdinand as a pundit because he's generally fair minded.

 

[lol yank]

Ederson extremely lucky with that rush of blood. On another night he's walking. No idea what his thought process is as he miscalculates his ability to reach the ball before the attacker too often for comfort.

I think the issue is he has zero forethought and a fairly low iq unfortunately

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

That's another match ball for Haaland's back room.

 

[Don Karleone]

Was it a pen ?

Was Eddy lucky not to get a card ?

Wasn't a pen, Eddy probably should've been booked and it's Erlings goal, didn't cross the line.

 

[SamTheGuru]

The ref has given every decision against us so far this game.

 

[hertsblue]

Just shows the very fine margins in this competition.
If we had that Spanish cheat reffing, no pen, foul on keeper for 2nd and Eddy sent off.
Everything we have had in our favour this 1st half is not even close to the huge errors that has gone against us in the competition over the years, and even that non handball in the 1st leg

 

[Turner92]

Need this version of KDB for rest of season dont over play him got to be smart and save his legs

 

[wolviedinho]

Rashford player of the season? Odds on now erling has scored another 3

 

[PragueBlue]

A couple of bits of careless defensive play but otherwise we have been excellent. One of our best first half performances of the season. Everyone has played their part and KDB has been superb. Much more suited to the deeper role than playing up front.

 

[jmant10]

19 seconds beetwen Haalands 2 goals. Weghorst wouldn't score 2 in 19 games

 

[Sw6city]

Regardless of 2nd half this will go down as haalands best game for us so far along with the home derby - unplayable
