move on

 

[The Batman]

Like watching pellegrini era city again. Good to see the youth and Jesus get some good mins in the champions league.
ive a feeling its Madrid next.

 

[Utter bobbins]

Christ that was grim, like watching Pollock and Lomas again. Need better back ups.

Still, through to the next round!

Diaz looked pretty good when he came on.

Danilo and Zinchenko had a game to forget.

Jesus wept

 

[Norwegian_Blue]

We attempted a total of 1040 passes tonight, completing 960 of them! According to whoscored.

 

[Mancity1980]

Ah well, never mind, let’s all laugh at spurs. Same old Tottenham, always losing!

 

[kaz7]

Job done but poor from everyone except sane

 

[Don Karleone]

I'm okay with losing, but it's fucking frustrating that it looks the players doesn't give a shit about it. One shot in the second half sums it up

Pretty much this.

Not arsed about the result but there was only Sane, Foden and Diaz who looked like they gave a shit.

 

[Trautmann's Chiropractor]

Was never going to be one to remember, but glad Pep gave minutes to Diaz and Adarabioyo along with Foden’s start. Plus did we see Stones in midfield at the end there??

 

[PaleBlue]

Diaz looked great, Jesus goes down too easily, Stones still looks out of sorts, Foden looked good in patches but overall poor, but then it didn't have to be excellent did it? Job done and won't be meeting Spuds.

 

[stan bowles]

Not important in the grand scheme. Some players didn't take the opportunity to push for starting spots or to get their confidence levels up. Shows how blessed we've been watching our normal first XI for most of the season. On to Stoke...

 

[chesterguy]

Poor game. City fringe players far too slow with the ball in transition but who really cares through to the quarters with most 1st teamers rested and thats all that matter

Clear that Yaya has absolutely no future at the club and as the pivot he slows the game down which is why we were so poor tonight

 

[The Riot Club]

Jesus wept

I'm not surprised, the number of times he got kicked!

 

[bluemcr]

Quarter finals get in! Job done

 

[citytill1die84]

Wasn't bothered before it and I'm not bothered now it was game over at Half Time is Basel tonight was a run out for the fringe players.

Thought Diaz was brilliant when he came on.

 

[Homar]

Total shit. Some of these players don’t deserve to sit on the bench. Stones, Danilo, Zinchenko, Laporte all utterly useless and devoid of any effort or quality. The only players that justified playing time were Sane and Bernardo.

 

[Deleted member 81382]

Job done.

Quarter-finals here we come!

 

[pudge]

Woeful performance.

But these threads are never for discussing performances, oddly, so I'll just say that we're through.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Spineless performance and utterly awful to watch ....

That's the bad news, bottom line we are through and won't play such dross again in this competition ... QF of the CL ... Great achievement...!

I'm okay with losing, but it's fucking frustrating that it looks the players doesn't give a shit about it. One shot in the second half sums it up

perfectly put, the squad on the field was miles better then Basel....fucking play like it

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Tonight was all about game management, sad to see Yaya a poor shadow of what he once was. Great for the young lads to gain valuable experience, I thought Diaz caught the eye very nicely. We rested a lot of first teamers and job done we are into the quarter finals.
