Match Thread | Sporting CP vs. Man City (05/11/24)

Why do we play so high up with no pace! It’s costing us every week. Lucky to get away with that

It’s strange. Because we’re struggling to break teams down so the simplicity of me would be to say drop deep with the ball and invite teams to press us so we can play through them. But then Pep obviously likes to compress the pitch and pin teams in

Mahrez esque touch there...

 

[Eccles Blue]

You must watch a lot of games with the sound off then, there's far worse than him!

No one is worse than Gallagher!! :-)

 

[Shaggy]

City, mi buen amigo,
Esta campaña volveremos a estar contigo,
Te alentaremos de corazón,
Esta es la hinchada que te quiere ver campeón,

Is that Noel on the TNT comms? Has anyone had a famous fan on comms before on a CL game? Or any game for that?

Not comms but United fan Howard Webb has a bit on Sky Sports

 

[Solatron]

Great touch from the new Mahrez

 

[.db.]

Oh my God that was a Mahrez level first touch, incredible son!

 

[ufo]

come on mahrez jr

 

[vanchi]

If we had one player drop 5/10 yards we would be ok

pep doesn’t seem to mind, they’re all doing what they’re told to do eh. bad for our nerves though.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Quality Savinho

Which works until they counter :-(

Feliz Navidad!

Guess Noel Gallagher's no worse than what we usually have to listen to

If he reduces McCoist's air time by 50% then it's good to have him.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

If Savinho can prove he’s useless at penalties, we may have another Mahrez on our hands.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Not comms but United fan Howard Webb has a bit on Sky Sports

So not comms then.

Regardless if he’s any good, that’s quite a thing to have a fan, a famous one, on comms for a game.

 

[heslops barnet]

Can still see us conceding ….

 

[I'm Blue]

Savinho goal tonight would be nice.
He’s been unlucky not to score so far.

 

[.db.]

Haha, BOUNCE!

 

[wolviedinho]

Glad Bernardo is in the middle.

 

[ufo]

Feliz Navidad!
