I was working last night and missed the game, although I did sneak the odd few minutes on my phone when I could. Just catching up on the match reports etc. Sounds like a really controlled performance from City and hopefully bodes well for the away leg v Real. Obviously hoping we win the game...

We adopted a similar approach against Arsenal away, as well. As you say, it's uncharacteristic for us not to dominate possession, but it also allows us to counter and exploit the huge spaces at the other end, something that doesn't happen a lot against City. We will get chances tonight...

I saw that, then Ferdinand came out with some biased nonsense talking Owen down when he mentioned that we might do the treble. The standard of pundits at the moment is absolutely dreadful.

Bit harsh that mate, he turned his back on Salah's penalty the other week. Had his celebration all lined up and ready to go and everything, until Salah went and put it wide...

No mention in the media that Klopp has had to find a new position for TAA because he can't defend. Also no mention of the new position being an inverted fullback, made famous in the Premier League era by a certain Pep Guardiola. Imagine the media meltdown if Pep was borrowing tactics from Klopp!

They caused us problems at times, however their shots were mainly from distance and if their keeper hadn't made some fantastic saves the scoreline could have been higher. I rate Walker highly and in the past have been an advocate for him starting in these type of games, but at present I feel...

I get the points you make, but personally I want to see us play to our strengths and let the opposition worry about us. Which, after the last game v Bayern, they will be. My only criticism of Pep in the last few years, in this competition, is that at this point in the season, he's changed...

A Bannan skin if the other thread is anything to go by!

Pep alluded to this in his press conference. He mentioned about how he won't know what to expect from Leicester for the first 15 minutes, which makes me think it'll be a slow start.

I particularly enjoyed one of the articles stating that Pep had given Levy a glowing endorsement of Kompany... Whoever wrote that hasn't been paying attention. Somehow I don't think those two have been talking about VK or anything else this season!

Dias dealt with that idiot brilliantly. It was like he'd already seen the game and new the result. It speaks volumes for the self belief and determination in the club at the moment. Great to see.

Yeah, definitely. I think that's what sets it apart from some of our previous top performances in the Champions League. Pep has been saying for quite a while, that scoring goals hasn't been our problem, but silly defensive mistakes have cost us, so he must have been delighted with yesterday...

Thanks mate, but it's the 95/96 shirt I'm after. I've seen a few knocking round on matchdays with Kinkladze 7 on the back etc, which have looked really good, but I've not been able to track them down. They've had the umbro logo on them as well, so I can tell they're not the Score Draw version...

Thanks for posting. Love the stare down from Dias after he answer the nerks follow up. What a guy

I opened this thread to write exactly the same thing. Wow. What an episode. Brilliantly written and superb performances from the cast.

Do you know if he, or any other sellers do the 1995 home shirt? I've been looking for that shirt for ages, but can't find it anywhere and unfortunately the Score Draw version looks a bit naff without Umbro on it and the fit isn't great either.

I dont know what was a worse decision, booking Stones or book Haaland. Neither challenge were worthy of a yellow card. Rubbish ref. Again.

Kenny's daughter, a self confessed Arsenal fan in Alan Smith on comms and the two red knobs in the studio. Nice and impartial as ever from sky! Fuck em. Not an easy game, but delighted with the win and the goal difference. Hopefully Liverpool can at least hold Arsenal to a draw tomorrow and...

Huge game tonight and one we can't take lightly after the league cup debacle. With Foden out it doesn't leave room for much rotation with Mahrez and Grealish. Suspect Bernardo will replace either Mahrez or Gundogan, as I'm sure Pep will start them both against Bayern. I can see Pep setting up...

Good team and one I think Pep is likely to pick. Personally, I would prefer Bernardo in the centre running rings around their pedestrian midfield. I guess the benefit of him out wide is he'll help keep Robertson pinned back though.
