I don't see any way back for this snake but in football you never know.

Where would you play him? Can’t defend so Ake stays, doesn’t take people on going forward so Grealish stays. He would just warm the bench.

The cunts in the Milner bin for me.

Slightly lower down the bin in my opinion.

Not sure that's totally correct. The second leg was always going to be awkward with a 3-0 lead. I think being caught in two minds how to play it hindered us. Obviously we wanted to be cautious and not over commit as we led 3-0. By contrast Bayern had nothing to lose so they had to go on all out attack. In the second half we managed the game better but I'll agree we have to be able to hold onto the ball more and take the sting out of the game more convincingly

We're at the sharp end of the
world's best competition and we're going to suffer at some point in games, just like Bayern did at our place. Both penalties were ridiculous, imagine losing to a decision like that, shocking and the rule needs changing.

Madrid are better than Bayern. They are great at game management and have match winners all over. They have that knack of turning games around from nothing too, as we found out to our cost last season. We'll need to be at our best and the Gods with us to prevail.

The Madrid games, I suspect will be quite cagey. City have been streetwise in big games this season, conceding possession against Arsenal and Bayern and taken our chances. We aren't going to be naive in the matches with Real and be too open. I suspect the games will be very cagey, particularly the away leg.

Depending on the outcome of the first game, home advantage can be huge, away goals or not. Our record at home is incredible, we've turned our ground in to a fortress.

It's official...



Tuchel is an arse.

Tommy Twocells really is an 'orrible little man. A face only a wife could love.....ooops.

At the start of the interview, he was chewing something - presumably sour grapes.

Disagree. First leg is “normally” close. Id rather they played at home first leg with something to lose. That way worst case we come away with a 1 goal deficit which we should be able to overturn and a clear awareness of what we need.

The idea of rolling madrid over in the first leg such that the second leg is a non contest is so wide of the mark.

When they had nothing to lose at home last season they pressured us and made us shit the bed. They dont do that to us at the etihad and they dont do that to us in a first leg either.

We rolled over Bayern in the first leg and made the second essentially a non-contest.

Bayern are better than Real.

Yeah last year it was tough, but they had the rub of the green. They could've easily lost to Chelsea, Us and the dippers and they couldn't have complained.
It's funny that they get to play the same teams this season too just a different order, and hopefully it'll end differently for them too.

As for having a tough draw, if we get to the final by beating BM and RM then that's as tough as it gets.

They were just so clinical. Looking back at last season's games it's crazy how many goals they scored in comparison to their opposition despite considerably fewer shots on goal. Overall shots (shots on target) below. I recognise the shots could be from anywhere and don't determine how good the chance was, but it's a staggering difference.

Real 3-2 PSG

24 (7) v 31 (12)

Real 5-4 Chelsea

18 (9) v 48 (12)

Real 6-5 City

25 (10) v 31 (16)

Real 1-0 Liverpool

4 (2) v 24 (9)

Overall they scored 15 goals from 28 shots on target whilst conceding 11 goals from 49 shots on target. Worth noting they scored 5 at Anfield from 9 shots (6 on target) but have declined that ratio against Chelsea so there's hope we can be the team that stops their winning streak in the competition!

Absolutely buzzing today :)

Professional performance and it's great to see we can play multiple ways our experience in the competition was on show last night loved it.

Bernardo Silva was brilliant, what a player he is such a shame he wants to leave :( shame about Ake and hopefully he's not out for long.

Must say the offside technology in the Champions League is vert good and very fast the handball rule though ffs ha.

Oh and Thomas Touchel is a prick

I think we'll beat them at their place and beat them at our place. They're a very good side, we're better.
