Cracking shot from Ake, did keeper get a touch onto the post ?

 

[Stoned Rose]

Street football v proper football.

Depressing commentary.Has someone died?

It came alive for a drool over some goal Paul Scholes scored in, well i don't know which century

 

[platty7]

Quite a good game to watch, with genuinely contrasting styles. Bit like a World Cup game.

Just said the same to my lad

Never understand all that very public show of personal distress amongst Brazilian footballers when things are going pear shaped. It’s not as if they’re going to be marched naked through the favela.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Ake has been great. Solid at the back, playing some great passes and his shot at the start was brilliant.

Ake and Phil have combined a few times with Phil finding great space and Ake finding him with the ball.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

He's my MOTM currently - been outstanding

Mine too.

Yes

I didn't see one

 

[Rory Bluelow]

I did it through LG TV channel on there

Working perfect on LG channels for me too

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

The South American final was brilliant to watch

Agree. It was a bit brutal. Flu kept going through I recall.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Ah finally a back 4 of Walker Stones Dias and Ake

Not playing against much from an attacking point of view, but it's nice to see those 4 back together with Rodri in front

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Shite crowd, not helped by a **** with a drum and robbie savage mumbling in the corner of the room.

That mumbling, I'll have you know, is the sound of a cheerful Welshman.

 

[ninjamonkey]

One more will do it. they'll have to sub off their pensioners second half, could leave them inexperienced and vulnerable, could give them a lift and some legs, dont know enough about them to know which is more likely. make sure the games won before we find out.

Pep needs to make full use of the bench too, don't leave it until the last 5 minutes to make our first sub. Pitch is truly atrocious too, you can see almost every pass is bobbling up so we don't want key players pit there longer than neccesary

 

[xgorton]

A decent half. Just hope we don't switch off. Still got to be very wary of Flu's capabilities.

Decent ? FFS 2 up in the CLUB WORLD CUP FINAL.

 

[jimharri]

2-0 up and looking comfortable.

Bit like against Palace!

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Fluminese flatter to decieve , individual skill in abundance with absolutely no team ethic or tactical nous , wouldnt like to play them at five-a-side they would rip it up , but they are clueless against a team that starves them of possession.
Early goal in the 2nd half and they will cave-in , thier team is full of 30 odd year olds ,no chance they will press for ninety minutes , come on City bring the trophy home

Yeah noticed that one too - miserable pair.
Them two always look to shoehorn in a mention of any other club than us!

 

[lancs blue]

Same old same old on here, 2-0 up at HT and half the posts are moaning about something.

 

[Barcon]

You having a good afternoon ?

Well, I'm not at work, I'm watching City, my wife is out doing my christmas shopping for me and I'm about to crack a beer.
Could be worse ; )
