[SWP's back]

Because Ruben Dias wins the ball, it can't be a foul.
Insightful there from Townsbellend.

Dias is one slow, clumsy ****.

Great defending to be fair.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

The things I'd do for Vincent back.

If I could turn back time....

 

[christened at st marks]

Dias high line is heart attack material

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

We looked fucked

 

[jollylescott]

This looks ripe for Cherki.

 

[TinFoilHat]

The ref has done well tonight to keep a handle on the game after the Bernie goal.

 

[01cravend]

Swap Malcom for Sav at fulltime?

 

[pudge]

As a side note, the 20 posts and 50 adverts for page is absolute poison in a match day thread

Arguing again with the ref, these cunts need telling to shut up and accept the refs decisions

 

[urban genie]

Infantino the mekon looking ****

 

[I'm Blue]

Come on City let's get this won.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Dias needs to stop bangin’ popstars and concentrate on football.
Savinho off for Bobb please.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Too slow and predictable, but we are getting a few balls into the middle.

Needs another goal to calm the nerves. They’re not doing much, but when they do break, they look like they can score.

At one point, we were 1 on 2 at the back on a break and their forward made a bad cross field pass, so another goal allows for a mistake or being caught on the break.

As I’ve said, should be at least 4 or 5 up by now! Hope it doesn’t come back to bite us, as this competition has thrown up a few strange results already.

Get another goal, get some fresh legs on, close it down.

Hmmm…

COME ON, CITY!!!

 

[eyalluvitt]

love this ref, no nonsense

They are testing him with some south American style theatrics, obviously entitled in their own league

 

[urban genie]

They will claim they hae had all the big decisions go against them.... and they might have a point.

the will and they don't

 

[Chak19]

Marmoush for Savinho.

 

[pbueno16]

We can’t afford to sell Stones, Ake or Akanji at this point because we never know what we’ll get from Dias anymore.

 

[bluebanana83]

We should be out of sight. Their goalie has had a great game. Even when we were peak City blowing teams away we were always liable to a team just taking the couple of chances they get.

I think we lost to Leeds 2-1 when we were 1-0 up and they were down to ten men.

I’d be more worried if we weren’t making chances and on the whole being dominant.

If Dias was a young player he'd not be seen again for 6 months, don't get the blind spot he seemingly plays in.

Yeah he lucky he isn’t 21
