Watching it back, I think that's a sign of what to expect against Madrid. Let them have the ball but be mega fuckin' effective in transitions. I wouldn't be surprised if Arsenal had more of the ball last night but it could've been (and would be on another night) about 6 or 7-1.
The only game I can think of at the moment that comes close was the away game at Chelsea when KDB (again) scored a screamer, that was a pretty sublime and complete performance too. We only scored one goal but it was a masterful performance.I'm trying to think of a better performance from a City team. Maybe Arsenal were bad, I need to rewatch it with less alcohol and adrenaline in my blood, but we were absolutely stunning last night. Kev and Haaland playing like they were attached by string, Bernie and Grealish fucking everywhere with the ball glued to their feet, Stones and Rodri gliding through the game like chess players who knew Arsenal's next moves before them, Dias and Akanji and Walker patrolling their own half like the scariest school bullies you've ever seen, Ederson kicking long, landing the ball on a penny, and then giving the Arsenal fans shit. Just unreal. What a fucking team.
City have shown up many of those silly remarks over the years.It's just bland sterile robotic industrialization, isn't it mate ;) Where's the passion?
You need to get your Mrs in line mate.Arsenal fans singing that we have bought it all. Do they not know their own history?
How loud was the John stones chant after var confirmed his goal. That was as loud as anything I've heard at home. CTID
Especially what they got a penalty for at their place
I posted “Haaland developing nicely.” A bit tongue in cheek, but you are right, under Pep’s influence he will become a truly great CF.He might not have put a couple of his chances away but in terms of his all round play, I thought that was Haaland’s best game for City and by a distance.
His hold up play & lays offs were near perfection and he always seemed to make the right choice as to where he was placing the ball to.
He totally deserved his goal in the end and he’s only going to get better and that will scare the shit out of our opponents.
The wife's moaning out drowns 50,000 fans everytime. LOLYou need to get your Mrs in line mate.
Ha, he’s always straight about footy mate, called Atkinson out in that 2-3 defeat and called Atwell out with Rashford earlier this season, calls the club and the rags fans out on a regular basis.Mate, are you mad, a Blue nicked his phone and sent the text.
We had more it was 52% vs 48% and that number is scewed by the fact that we took the foot off the gas at 3-0, it was higher at that point.
Personally I don't see us letting Madrid have the ball in either leg and I don't see Madrid attempting to keep the ball either. Last year in both games we had more possession comfortably.
Not a fair comparison but I loved the Goat for the same reason. He just kept on trying, trying, trying. A legend.What i love about him is he never hides. Yep he 100% shouldve bagged at least 2 befoew he did score. But missing makes him more determined. A lot of strikers let their heads drop if they miss a couple. Not our big freaky viking.
And lost. I just think we'll try something different given the counter-attacking animal we now have leading the line.
Still think we'll batter them at our place, mind, just what happens away. I think the away leg is the one where we'll see us sitting back and hitting them on the break. A bit like Bayern.
I was having a slash when var gave the goal. Some fucking noise.What a fucking night, what an atmosphere, I'm completely fucked, I don't think I've heard anything as loud as that Johnny stones song after he scored it hurt ears ps the banner was class
No shame and little intelligence, not a good combination to have.City have shown up many of those silly remarks over the years.
Alyson Rudd: “Pep is nothing special. Klopp is clearly superior.” Yeah right. Those journos have no shame.
I haven’t looked at our Matchday thread. Just how bad were we?When I see these videos I just think of our matchday thread lol
