PSG (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

[Solatron]

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

For a 100million player he's been an absolute embarrassment. Pass it back merchant and one we need to get rid of.

 

[makinghistory]

Shit, that. Again. Pep had no answer for their press from minute 1 - baffling really. We’ve just had our pants pulled down for 90 minutes with absolutely no real retaliation apart from a couple of anomaly runs from Akanji and Nunes which felt so alien and isolated that they mustn’t have been part of the tactics.

Just poor again. Shown up against a team better than Salford/Ipswich. Too many players jogging, backing out of tackles and generally being too weak.

The usual story of the opposition being younger, hungrier and faster than us. The legs in the team can’t handle it and it’s been the same all season.

Teams must be excited to play against us and that’s the worst thing you can see about it right now. They have an absolute field day for 90 minutes. Embarrassing again.

Broken record but we need a fucking midfielder.

Didn't think PSG were much of a threat up to 60 minutes. We were quite solid. Nothing glamorous but we were doing a good job. After 60minutes we collapsed and were steamrollered.

 

[Matt Diablo]

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!

Well said mate

 

[117 M34]

Don't know how foden stayed on.
Atrocious tonight.

R U talking about the women's team?

I think the He's gives that away :-)

 

[East Level 2]

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

Just a way to ensure our players are knackered at the start of next season.

Did you not watch 20 or so mins b4 HT that not for a knee cap they were 1nil up???

 

[Damanino]

we used to be a bogey side for PSG:(

 

[Turner92]

KDB Kovacic Gundogan and Bernardo all need to go in the summer fantastic players in their day but all finished at the top level

 

[Yue Wollongong]

I didn’t watch the match but when I know that Dias is off and Ake is not available I know we are fucked. Akanji being the leading CB is and joke and we don’t have a right back. That’s why the focus of this transfer window is on the back line.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Dyslexia.

 

[Northmanc68]

It’s club Brugge not prime Barca. This is arguably the worst city side in a decade but there’s levels to this

Just to let you known Brugge haven’t lost for 18 games and that includes games against Juventus , Aston Villa , Celtic & Sporting Lisbon , three of those sides beat us -

 

[Mattyc55]

Brugge are unbeaten in 19 games.

Going out at this stage would be an absolute embarrassment regardless of how shit we are this season.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Somebody should have been booked for a foul on KDB 1st half but it think the ref forgot because the ball stayed in play for an age

That was one of the incident highlighted. Stuff like that happens away from home in front of a passionate crowd.

 

[andypandy]

Sad to see but some of the players who have given us so many wonderful moments and memories over the past few years look absolutely shot, either mentally, physically or both - Bernardo, Gundo, Walker.
Others have had bad injuries - Rodri, Oscar Bibb
Others out of form - Ederson, Akanji, Phil
One of our biggest strengths- the press we put on teams and winning the ball back high up has all but gone.
Questionable buys (at best) in Nunez and Phillips.
Young players new to the league like Doku and Savinho are hit and miss.
It's going to take some sorting but at least we are bringing in new blood with more to come hopefully, especially in midfield.
We're in the midst of a "perfect storm" and I would take 4th or 5th now.
PSG were 2 goals at least better than us tonight, and ran us ragged second half.
We may best Bruge but we're certainly not going to win the CL so it may be a blessing, albeit an embarrassing one of we fail to qualify for the knockout rounds.

 

[eyalluvitt]

They’re horrendously average. We’re not much better but we’re good enough to beat them

Fingers crossed

 

[Fordyboy46]

Don't know how foden stayed on.
Atrocious tonight.

That's where he is this season, anonymous against the better sides

 

[i kne albert davy]

KDB Kovacic Gundogan and Bernardo all need to go in the summer fantastic players in their day but all finished at the top level

Sadly you're right 3 of them have been great servants for our club but their races have been well and truly run.

 

[Stelea]

Concerned me why our players weren’t moaning to the ref about it

 

[Tim of the Oak]

And our goals just fell nicely after taking big deflections off their defenders. It totally flattered us that scoreline

They had a couple of ricochets before goals too.
We were outplayed and out battled. 4-2 was bad enough.
