Ref must have a bet on

 

[heslops barnet]

It’s the defence that worries me the further you go in this competition you get punished by the better sides..gettttt innnnn Viking …

You mean Eddie don’t you?

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

That Akanji volley from the keepers clearance cannot be understated. Great vision to exploit the space in the middle, and a great knockdown from Big Earl to Kev, great shot and a great follow-up for number 2

 

[Mayor West]

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

it was very good

Nope not even close to fully crossing

In my opinion

No penalty
Eddie should have been given a yellow
Haaland touched the ball in as it rolled across the line

Pundits are taking about haaland fouling keeper before the second goal but think that's bullshit to be honest

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

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.

History has proven time and again that Germans dont do well in snow

 

[Silva&Silva]

First half analysis... HAALAND HAALAND HAALAND

 

[Blueknows]

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.

Think werners was for dissent , got in the refs face so he booked him

 

[Damien10]

Again. I got it so wrong pre match. I wasn’t confident but by god we have been awesome tonight!

 

[Metal Biker]

Too much positivity in here

You're right erm

Gundogan keeps missing, boooo!

And balance is restored

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Such a strange feeling having decisions go our way

 

[SebastianBlue]

Haaland is the fastest to 30 CL goals in comp history.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Don't know about Gundo but Rodri and Grealish have been great, Rodri just a bit sloppy

Yeah Rodri is a weird one. He is the pivot of everything we do, but at times he looks jaded.

 

[wolviedinho]

I hope we don’t start to get too pensive with our passing. Keep going forward if possible.

 

[domalino]

Haaland (5) is the only player in Europe's top 5 leagues to get more than 2 hattricks this season.

 

[oddfellows]

Chelsea, Benfica, Bayern, Milan, Madrid, Napoli and either Porto or Inter

 

[Josh_D]

Just seen the handball jump. My mistake initially, thought the hand took it away from Rodri. The ball deviated sure but that’s how uefa have called it.

With that said, it’s been a good performance. The passing was very crisp for a lot of that half.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Such a strange feeling having decisions go our way

I know exactly what you mean.
It doesn’t sit right even though we’re benefiting from it.

 

[Akira]

Had our share of luck, but can’t deny we’ve been excellent.

 

[Gobshiight]

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.

Never gonna be a red there, but could so easily have lead to a goal

It's strange because I'm sure his judgement used to be much better in these situations
