Match Thread | Shakhtar vs Man City (18/09/19)

[SVP]

They have but they are still extremely dire. This group stage really is a formality with the opponents and I am not sure that will benefit us in the long run.

Yeah wish we had a really difficult group.

Chalk and cheese from sat - good performance with Gundog playing really well (as are most) - no doubt someone will give him grief though

Rather have a formality now rather than face an insane group with no Stones, Laporte and Sane. Fingers crossed we qualify inside 4 games and can play kids in the final 2 games.

I love this defensive crisis

Ian Darke I think?

Thanks.

Another dinosaur like Tyler, Motson, Champion and Pearce who should be retired off, the 90's are gone as is the dominance of Utd and Liverpool but none of them can except it.

Feels like KDB is behind by half a beat. His touch and such is a bit off.

He’s finding himself slightly further up the pitch tonight, with the ball coming to him when he is on the half turn. The Silvas are arguably more adept in that situation and able to get the ball away more smoothly.

Who the fook are these commentators. Shud be looking out for British clubs. Getting giddy wen Shakhtar create but as dull as dishwater wen city attack

 

[cookster]

Frustrating bunch ain't they. Decent half though.

 

[Blu1]

Don’t think we got out of second gear so far.

Professional first half by the boys especially after weekend

Some of the haters on here must be a bit crimson!
Gundog off the post to Mahrez 1-0!
Mahrez dances through, threads to Gundog 2-0!
Now whose heart is dropping to see those two on the team sheet?
