PSG (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

[Pingu the Penguin]

But how much will it cost us in the long run by missing out on CL next season, and who will want to come, we’ll be fishing in a different pond then.
At least buy 2 fullbacks and 2 midfielders to save this season.

If they are available affordable and good enough then the season might be salvaged. If not it won’t and we will be saddled

 

[bondsman]

I really miss Laporte. Having him in this squad right now would be a real boon. Gvardiol isn’t in his league nor is Akanji. Letting him go or feel unloved whatever was an oversight on par with selling Palmer

 

[Ben123]

Your sarcasm knows no bounds.
We have won 2 of the 7 games we have played so far.
Dismissing teams that are currently ahead of us is plain stupid.

If Southampton were above us 8 games into the league season would you expect us to beat them?

 

[ayrshire_blue]

If I’m honest I hope we don’t qualify. We have been comprehensively beaten by three European teams this season. Why in hell would we prolong that? Any bugger that thinks we could win it needs to give their head a wobble.

Hopefully we don't play any more PL games this season too as we won't win that either, what's the point eh?

 

[dom]

So you're not arsed about the Champions League but you want to concentrate on qualifying for it?

Yes..a reset

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

The new stand will look amazing with Europa league football on show , maybe get some cardboard cut out supporters?

At last they might stay until the final whistle

 

[HypnoticBlue]

It may help us as, for us, this is the start of the season as we try to get players up to fitness, ready for peak fitness as we hit the CWC.

Do we really think the CWC is gonna be worth turning up to?

 

[Bill Walker]

We need to sort the midfield.

Basically we haven't got one.
Yet we buy 2 defenders and a forward with only a few days left.
.
What is going on with our beloved Pep ?

 

[Fordyboy46]

I’m not too worried about missing out. Players will still come. We are now a class outfit. I’m more concerned about the size of the rebuild

It needs to be huge, several players have downed tools and need to be shipped out in the summer. Still new players need to arrive in the summer, going to be busy

I agree.
It’s a slippery slope too.
Miss out on CL next season. Miss our first choice targets in the summer, a few players leave then possibly miss out season after too.

We need legs in the midfield and a left back.
Surely we can as a bare minimum get someone to just do a job in midfield until the end of the season.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Sorry, Tim, but I can't follow you on this. It's the post-match thread about the game we've just played, for opinions on it, right or wrong. And I don't agree with some of the ranting on here, but I never do when we lose, and almost never agree with all of the basking when we win.
It's not the pre-match thread for another game.

Everyone’s entitled to their views as long as they aren’t abusive (so I’ve read). I’m all for constructive criticism of tonight’s match.

We can’t escape the importance of next week’s game though.

 

[Mancityphilfo2000]

Neves, vitiniha, ruiz absolutely mullered our slow midfield and barcola destroyed our defence we need 3 mids at least.

 

[TheBlueCat]

Glad it’s not just me that recognises that

 

[gh_mcfc]

Jack Grealish is crap and always has been for city. Thats the truth. The odd 10 minutes is irrelevant. Up there with Nunes, phillips and
Bradbury

 

[Corky]

It was like Brentford on steroids, outplayed a bit today, but a little bit of luck and end up 2-0 to the good, however zero game management. At 2-1 they were pumped up and we were spent, and Devon Loch was relieved to see City have a worse gelding collapse.

 

[TueartsCossackSpray]

Nunes, I’m afraid to say, was utter wank. It’s not his ability, it’s his mentality.

Thought he may come good but he just doesn’t have the capability to become a City player.

plus his face looks like a united player to me.

 

[Petethemancinleeds]

To see players like Walker, Stones, Gundog, Silva, Ederson, KDB head from elite superstars to relative medocrity at this level in the same season has been painful but should never undermine the absolute pleasure they have ALL given over the best part of a decade.

Todays matchday, postmatch abuse to them and particularly some less gifted replacements is not the old city way but a sign of the toxic times on soc media generally.

The Chelsea game will be fascinating some new blood and and generous initial applause for Cole Palmer before the xxxxer bags a hat trick!

 

[55yr old teenager]

So you're not arsed about the Champions League but you want to concentrate on qualifying for it?

For this season yes. Being realistic we not a hope in he'll of winning it.

 

[Matt Diablo]

Wow don't know where to start. Bite our lips now and on to the rent boys Saturday with some actual quick, strong defenders being introduced - best we can do . . .

 

[Micky Blue]

One thing we really haven’t had over the last 9 years is time to work things out in practice. I think more time off can help the new guys get adjusted.

On the flip side though more games means they have more chance to bed in on the pitch and give them game time.

We’re not winning the CL this season even if we qualify, you wouldn’t want to risk the FA cup as it’s more winnable this season than the CL and with how precarious top 4 is you wouldn’t want to take any risks there.

So possibly the extra 2 games would allow us to give the new guys minutes and maybe try a different setup.
