Post Match Thread: City v Juventus

[borassic]

The big fuck up was Nasri for Navas. We missed his pace on the right and Nasri was just far too slow on the ball. Really boring peformance.

Can you say that again? I didn't catch it the first time around.

Anyone wonder why we've lost a majority of our home CL matches?

Here's an experiment: Watch Malaga vs. Dortmund in Germany, then watch tonight's match. Pay special attention to the crowds. One set of supporters are doing whatever they can to back their team, the other set are afraid to upset the librarian. I've never heard 54,000 people gather together and make almost no noise whatsoever.

It's no more a home match for our squad than when we go to the away matches. If you aren't hoarse after that match, you failed your team.

Were you there by any chance?

Because it's something we will not tolerate on here, people sat behind there keyboards slagging off match going blues

Fern was excellent.

They took their chances and we didn't and wasted ours. Pretty much it.

Sterling has got to realise that almost scoring because you have got yourself in a good position is not enough. He's a good player but he cost us the game.

The PL is shite. The same players that look competent in one are not fit for purpose in the CL.

Having said all that we should be able to get out of this. KdB will be up to speed soon, Nasri can fuck off as far as I am concerned.

Our formation and overall style is just too open for savvy Euopean clubs. When we tightened up a bit like the Roma game last year, we are fine. We need to learn faster than this.

Nasri getting it again but that was as bad as I've seen Silva play

There's a big difference you're missing from that sentance.

Same lazy midfield (Ferny aside) out of possession-contrast with Juve who defended as a team and ran as hard without the ball at the end as they did at the start of the game. We cannot play a midfield of Silva, Nasri and Yaya at this level but we've said the same thing for several years.

Can we stop booing the CL anthem, yes uefa are cunts but it sets the tone for the evening in my opinion.
KDB had to start we had fuck all width or pace down the right hand side, Nasri is back up for Sterling and Silva only, Navas over him on the right all day long if KDB isn't going to play. Fernandinho was brilliant today, thought Bony did ok considering we're really not playing to his strengths but expecting him to get a hammering from some quarters.

bony very poor

Kolorov - just takes up the space the attacking left sided (more talented) players want to go into (very noticeable when KDB came on) - plus AK again piss poor defending for the second goal...he didn't have a clue where the ball was when the long punt was sent down field.

disappointing in the fact that we were nowhere near played off the park or dominated as we have been before but we almost seemed scared to go at them like we do in the perm league

still loads of time to hopefully get it right and qualify but the players need to stop being scared (plus we need a bit of luck with injuries)

Pogba is quite the player though, I think the campaign looks promising although I don't like the team hanging back for 1-0 wins
