Borussia Dortmund (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

[jimharri]

Savinho gave their defence a torrid time and beat his man repeatedly. It was his first good game since Huddersfield.

Savinho's first real mistake was over half an hour into the game and a bunch of fans who couldn't get behind the team threw their hands up in the air.

Are you sure that wasn't the match thread?

What was thrown at Phil when he took a corner? That seems to have been glossed over

Knowing EUFA they will probably fine City

I’m just glad he put in a performance against Dortmund. Especially, following the very poor cameo from the bench against Bournemouth. He is a talented player but needs to deliver much more consistently.

The return of Cherki probably means Savinho and Bobb have to share game time that isn’t a bad thing based on what we’ve seen so far this season.

We'll need all the players you've just mentioned tbh.its a long season,after a summer tournament too,and the squad will all help out with the injuries we have to expect.

I think, if everyone is fit and it’s a ‘big game’ neither them nor Doku are starting.

It looked like vapes and lighters.

I agree re. Bobb and Savinho. Doku showed on Sunday how he can move into the middle and add muscle, pace and technical ability. We will be a bit short of some of those qualities until Rodders is fully fit.

Probably both mate.

No, there's a section of City fans who are dug in on their opinion that Savinho is not good enough. When the lad makes a mistake the fans are much harsher with him than any other player.

This is nothing new, City fans have always loved a scapegoat to take their frustrations out on, Mahrez got this for years and ended up winning the fans over eventually.

The problem for them is that this player is hugely talented, just a matter of time before he puts it all together, and when he does they're going to look very silly.

The smart ones have already started rowing back, so kudos to them.

Precisely the same as the match thread.

A tin of undercoat perhaps?

A tin of undercoat perhaps?

A tin of soup and you could hear Fritz shouting, "and that's just for starters".

Well, I’m sure City should have controlled the crowd better.

 

[Gingers Dad]

He was. But Donna is better.

I don't like pitching one City player up against another. Donna is an excellent keeper and a great replacement for Ederson. Who seemed to want out anyway.
However, Donna has been here for a couple of months. Ederson did eight years, winning 6 PL's and a Champions League. Including three Golden Gloves.
We move on with Donna as our keeper and hopefully he will prove to be a better City Keeper than Ederson.
Ederson is a City legend.

Definitely got enormous potential.

If his final decision making clicks he’ll be unbelievable.

Laura Woods’ knickers.

Just watching the game back. I know it's had no bearing in the end but how the hell did that Dortmund guy escape a red card against Doku?

 

[p.taker]

I know a German BvB fan from another online community who made sure to point out how they were able to poach the top prospect from our academy 8 years ago. I was like what are you talking about? Phil Foden isn’t going anywhere. He hadn’t even heard of him.

I wonder what’s he’s thinking now

It's the same with Nunes but I think/hope he's starting to win some people over.

Why did GMP crap themselves and withdraw here on Wednesday?

Fearful of being hauled before disciplinary panels and potentially the law courts if they use even a little bit of force ?
