City v Celtic post match

[Pleatfooted]

Why does Chris Sutton talk a 100 decibels above everyone else, tit jock type twat!

 

[urban genie]

Willy - played fine should start ahead of Juliet at least he goes down to stop shots
Clichy - pace has gone and it shows
Tosin - played well
Sagna - god awful did nothing to help Maffeo and doubt I saw one forward pass
maffeo - good, tried his best, shoiuld have been trusted more and given the ball
Sane - as not a natural wing back did ok, suffers when we slow the play down
Fernando is fernando
Zabba - did okay in the role
Nolito - didn't do much
Gundogan - Played well
Kelechi - Played his socks off

First half functional, second half they seemed indifferent and uninterested

City are so slow it's a bit of a dull watch.

Sane? Indecisive, poor crosser of the ball, can't pass....he's a definite starter on Saturday!

definite starter, because he put half a dozen good crosses in that forwards can attack ,bending away from the keeper (only one cross in the 2nd half he spooned over to the other side of the pitch)and was very tidy on the ball , not sure what match you were watching

I really think Chris Sutton needs to shut his mouth he's worse than Ferdinand at times the bitter little shitbag.

ah thats who it was...no wonder he was so bias.....disgraceful needles dig right at the end....what a twat!

 

[MarsLlama]

I wish we had shown more desire but it is what it is.

Probably because the burger wasn't deep fried in batter.

And floating in Irn Bru.

Also, just to agree with the others, Clichy was very poor. He is clearly well past it -- in years past he was the superior defender to Kolarov but now you can expect him to make a mistake or two and get absolutely abused regularly. I'll be very happy when we see the backs of both him and Kolarov.

Thankfully you won't have to wait too long because he is out of contract in the summer

Bit like groundhog day, only one goal at home again. I feel we're on the verge of something but at the moment our build up play is great until the final third and then all that fluency is lost. Frustrating.

 

[Akiva]

Nolito - didn't do much

Other than getting an assist?

 

[sir baconface]

agree with you on Sane mate....he just looks nowhere near at present...he has time but he needs to start showing something and at present he is looking like someone who may struggle to adapt....he made need till next season to get going

I've been very diplomatic as I know he's a young lad who needs time to settle in. And he came with high recommendations from respected sources, which surely counts for something. That said, I'm having difficulty believing my own eyes on what we've seen to date.

Ah well another draw. Similar story for me, created chances and good moves but could only score 1. Would go for Gündoğan motm but was impressed with Zaba in midfield and both the youngsters. Also really liking Sané in top gear; he probably just needs games, when he gets it right it's pretty devastating. I felt both penalty calls were correct but I understand Pep's reaction. He says he needs time to understand refs... it will take a long time.

Sometimes I get the feeling that these frantic pressing style games have really opened his eyes and he is struggling to adapt. He is young so we have to give him time but so far he hasn't contributed anything and we are 22 games in. Hopefully he will come good.

 

[makinghistory]

Put in couple of great crosses. And couple great attacking runs. But does need to show a lot more.

Yep agreed. Not sure where we stand this one. One moment hes abs on fire and the next he looks like a schoolboy.

Sane on the left. Navas on the right. We need symmetry of course hah.

Game didn't mean anything. Was entertaining enough to watch. We didn't lose.

Looking forward to the weekend and hoping we get a good draw on Monday. Hopefully we don't get Athleti, Napoli would be fine. We'll see who wins their group tomorrow

 

[Gray]

Failure to beat a very average team like Celtic in two attempts is extremely poor.

Not seen any signs of the new dawn we were promised with Pep,and our defending is simply awful.

 

[Manc in London]

As a celtic fan no cup final at all tbh just you kinda think scottish football is shit and it is tbh but your league is not that great either !!!
Might have money but does not make good teams

You do realise that English teams have won several European Cups/CLs don't you?

Master bater

 

[waspish]

Thats the performance you get when you change 9 player! Good outing for a few the young lads nacho great goal, Zab Gujdogan ware excellent And Sane showed is a bit more of his pace and skill, he still needs time though.
