Bayern Munich (H) - CL QF | Post Match Thread

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Possession stats on bbc say 56% bayern and i dont see that having been the case at all

It would have been, first half would have padded it though.
They had plenty of the ball - they just didn't have an end product tonight, in the first half especially. 2nd half Eddie made a couple of blinding saves.
Tie ain't over - but again based on tonight they ain't stopping us scoring over there, plus Tuchal doesn't play football "all out attack". So we should be fine :D

Plodri they came called him, clowns.

I remember someone called him a Championship player. Lol

 

[bondsman]

Thanks to Pep and the boys for a truly amazing night. Won’t forget that performance for rest of my life. That was sensational from every player in blue.

Is it bad that i’m still half-nervous for the second leg?

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Just back, what a fantastic night

It should have been nein

Das ist gut ja.

 

[Mike Brock]

What a night and what a fucking football team. Etihad was superb tonight, well done to every single one of us in there tonight.
Some real men in our team tonight

*rolling in the floor while laughing uncontrollably*

Wet cement?

 

[nellyonthewing]

Some stellar performances from Dias ,Ake, Rodri, and Ederson. The rest were just plain great.

Is it bad that i’m still half-nervous for the second leg?

No it’s exactly how we have to approach it

 

[goalmole]

Is the correct answer, yet it's still fucking asked every single time we batter a team, which is fairly fucking frequently!

Maybe the way we play - just maybe - has a massive fucking impact on how shit the opposition are. Maybe the opposition start making simple mistakes because of the relentless pressure we put them under...

Scaring Europe to death.
Finally.
Probably sent a few tremors through Woolwich as well.

 

[domalino]

Best ever?

Next week could be even better.

They are going to have to throw caution to the wind in some respect and we're deadly on the counter. Can't count our chickens before they've hatched but I feel like next week might be where we make a definitive statement about the new hierarchy of european football.

 

[The perfect fumble]

A guilty pleasure....

 

[blue whippet]

Just got back, a bit wet and now feeling a bit cold but there is no way I am going to be able to get to sleep for a good while! Great performance from City, all the defence was superb, Bernardo was everywhere. It was a really tight game and at times we rode our luck but by the same token so did they and with better finishing we could have scored another three or four. Great to keep a clean sheet, we have a good foundation for the second leg. After that game I fancy us to get a result there too. Thanks City, enjoyed that. I'll be groggy at work tomorrow but I'll be smiling.

 

[burning blue soul]

Spare a thought for Jamie Paradise tonight, he’s been fucking owned by our back four, don’t disrespect Dias & Co

Why? ;)

 

[blue whippet]

Rare that you see a faultless performance at this level. Hugely draining, both physically and mentally.

And that was just for those of us watching, can't imagine how the players must be feeling.

 

[simmo]

Team is playing full of confidence and had it not been for Sonner it could have been 5 or 6.

The piece of skill by Bernardo running rings round 3 Bayern players deserved a goal.

Great result against decent opposition.

 

[danielwood5]

Hahahahaha I love it.

Arsenal must be really good to be ahead of us.

Don't know who this chap is but I hope he's right.

 

[MadchesterCity]

What the fuck is this?....

Bitterness and fear!

 

[Manc in London]

Brilliant performance, they hd everything in their armoury that could hurt us, and we dealt with that superbly.

Oh, and Bernie took the piss out of arguably the best left back in the world.

I have always thought Davies is vastly overrated.

Like you said, Bernie had him on toast.

 

[Eccles Blue]

After a flaming horrible day that was just what I needed. A great match, a win and lots of praise for John Stones.
