Bayern v City post match thread

[Blue and Proud]

To all those media experts who bang on continually about City's poor away form this season; that's 3 wins out of 3 away games in the Champions League!!!

Oakie, I'm a seasoncard holder. Manuel not understanding the rules was a monumental mistake. As a result, if Arsenal and Chelsea win their groups, in the round of 16 we get either Barca, Real, PSG, or Athletico. Score another goal and we would have played a relative minnow.

even if he had understood the rule and put Aguero on, there is a still a good chance it would have finished 3-2. or 3-3. We'll never know, move on. I am just buzzing that we came back the way we did tonight, especially with the group of players we put out tonight!

Sorry but you`ll have to point me in the direction where I`m sticking up for the Boss !! I`m annoyed as the next person if that is a genuine mistake,as thats all I believe it to be.

Can't believe some people are angry about the result tonight. You have to play the best teams anyway if you want to progress in the CL so who cares if it comes in the next round or the one after. We just showed we can beat the best with our bloody reserve team. Enjoy the win ffs.

this ffs, we have the moral and footballing high ground, and right now psg, barca, real and atleti are all wishing they finished second!

AND we have a rested team for Arsenal while Arsenal need to play their first choice team tomorrow to get through their group.

I've asked questions re- Pelle gate but I'm certainly not angry.

Now it's all settled down you have to sit back and give the team some real credit - to be 2 down after 12 minutes after making 7 changes against a formidable team and not capitulate and take a beating , but to come back and win was immense.

Silva getting 70 mins and looking sharp was the big bonus for me.
Lots of good performances throughout, with special mention for Milner who worked his socks off and provided substance as well.

Worst poin,t although it helped us was Micah injured again.

Just seen Rags highlights and if that's them back then great , they could easily have lost again.

Just seen gerard out for 6 weeks so won't play against us, just need arse to have a really tough time tomorrow and it will top a good midweek

We did win tonight, I'll take that given the circumstances at 7:58 tonight.

Any blue that isn't buzzing over what we did tonight, needs to re-assess why they are blues, not many games rank up there, the win at Spurs from 3-0 down was magnificent, but this was the european champions on their own patch in the top competition in world football.

Only the QPR comeback tops this in my supporting of City comebacks.

Their goals were offside but they were very marginal - it's hard to get angry tonight. Might have even worked in our favour because Bayern switched off thinking it was job done.

ITV, Sky etc may not give this result the recognition it deserves, but the most important people it affects are the players and supporters of Manchester City. Belief matter so much. You need to be able to step out on that pitch and know you can win. Last season, and maybe even this, we conceded a lot of very soft goals and I think that was in part down to doubt. "Are we good enough? Do we belong?" No one will ask questions like that again.

Pellegrini has to bring the players back down to Earth straight away though.

Bloody hell Marvin the ultimate pessimist but you were so right there. That win will have given us so much belief and confidence. Forget Sky , forget Pigeoneho, City are back.

I do get pessimistic. My brother who I go to games with thinks it's hilarious. Doesn't matter who we are playing, by the time it comes to the game without fail I have always worked out a reason why we might not win.

Our game on wedesday be easier then you lot. Nappoli not that great. draw 3-3 on saturday and we outplayed them at our place. Think we rotate the team in mind of city on saturday. we have to lose 3-0 to go out and dortmund to then win which i can,t see.

Still away game at city be our toughest game we had all season without a doubt,<br /><br />-- Wed Dec 11, 2013 12:00 am --<br /><br />

How can you win at bayern and not win at cardiff or sunderland. Madness.

 

[gmckennasell]

What a peformance from city. You showed why your one of teams that can win the champions league thiss year. Also shows why bayern hate playing english teams. Lost to likes of chelsea, arsenal and city on their own turf.

Bayern hate playing directness of british sides and city were magnificent to come back from 2-0. well done

Thanks for a sensible post Gooner.Are you beginning to shit bricks for Saturday ?? ;)

Nope as think we good enough to shut you down. We top of league by five points and we both beaten bayern.

Going to be very tough away game though and think it be epic battle between two of best attacks in europe

who the hell is going to shut city down in a gooner shirt ? hard as nails arsenal ? , now you've really got me worried ,

Napoli winning, and Celtic beating Barcelona would make it even better - means we might get an easier draw

Thought Garcia deserves a mention if only because so many have criticised him in the past. Broke up a lot of attacks in the 2nd half, and sent us on the counter with a lot of quick forward passes.

So happy to win at Bayern. We just proved we can beat the best

Good result on paper but beating the best when they are not at their best and not giving their best isn't that meaningful.
Great to see some maligned players putting in a shift and getting some credit.

Personally I don't think Bayern are the best, if Chelsea, Athletico or Real Madrid don't win it this year I'd be dissapointed if it wasn't us. Bayern are a quickly passing fad based on the swan song of two particularly ugly wingers nearing the December of their careers.
