Sorry Mikel

That third was invaluable, gives Pep the opportunity to rest key players before Liverpool now.

Agree.
Will be interesting to see the teams that Pep picks for the MUFC home game and the Copenhagen return leg ?
Think it's essential that Rodri gets a rest at some time.
Last season, he looked knackered and dead on his feet at times.
I would rest him for both the above matches, as we need Rodri for Liverpool away...

Just play the women we’d still smash the cunts

Watching last night I thought to myself what a fantastic team we have

Could not see a weakness

And then Eddie!!!!!

But what a team we have

We are blessed

From how we play out there's always going to be the odd fuck up.

The important thing is that when it does happen, it happens in games like this rather than against the dips/Real etc.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Totally agree. I am in no way suggesting that Doku is responsible for their goal - all down to Edersons brainfart - but t was noticable that he gave away the freekick that led to it. Had that been Grealish we'd have had a freekick our way.

First 15 minutes were the most cohesive I have seen us all season.

If that's the free kick I'm thinking of the tv replay showed a Doku challenge but the free kick was against Rodders.

I only know as that was Rodders foul in my build-a-bet.

Yeah you could be right but I am sure Doku got caught in possession like he does now and again. Not a dig, I love the way he takes players on, but Grealish clearly holds the ball better.

Agreed and need to manage De Bruyne as well, do not want to reach April / May and he pulls up again as happened in the UCL final but every confidence the team are on that. Just not a team in world football now that's instantly improved by either players inclusion for me and to have both of them firing on all cylinders is frightening no matter who the opposition is.

Is there anyone that can fill Rodri’s position at all?

Personally don't think anyone we have is anywhere near Rodri's level in this position.
Might need a tactical change with Stones and somebody else (Bernardo ?) anchoring the midfield ?
Do not think he will trust Kovatic to do it on his own ?

 

[Manc in London]

It maybe just me but I found the Copenhagen fans to be incredibly irritating. The whining matched that which you can hear at Goodison.

It was amusing though that they gave the City players grief for 'wasting time' with the occasional goal kick or throw-in as if we were spoiling the game with small-time tactics. Yet we spent much of the game camped in their half and the ball was probably in play more than any other game on that ground this season.

The amount of late tackles, sly stamps etc., was very annoying. The ref needed to address this early in the game. Otherwise, he had a decent game.

I'd rest the first 11 v the dips just accept it as a right off and smash all the other teams ,:+)

Maybe Stones?

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Phil is playing superbly and arguably (with due respect to KDB) currently our most influential player, but far too early I think to put him in the same bracket as El Mago.

He's way ahead of where Silva was at the same stage of his career.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Copenhagen are shit. They’d be bottom six in our country.

We need to be keeping clean sheets now.

I hope that moron with a siren doesn’t turn up at the Etihad because I guarantee that if he does I will personally shove it way way way up his danish arse.
