Celtic v City post match

[AlRambomcfc]

Why should we think any different ? They've conceded 10 goals in 2 games.

And managed to put three past us as well. Not bad for a supposed pub side. God our fanbase has its morons.

I assume there are only a few of us who accept Celtic broke themselves against us and deserve applause along with us not being great but not bad. We are still learning with Guardiola so all in all a good match to watch. I know we can be better, i see that as a good thing really, as others have said we have done alright so far :-)

Reckon we will crush spurs!

 

[Bewar3them00n]

Great game, no complaints, that's football as Pep says!
You can't win every game, and the poise to come back and then almost nick it at the end was good to see.
Big respect to Celtic, wish we could create an atmosphere like that!

 

[bondsman]

Celtic probably won't play as well again all season and to be honest I still thought they were industrious rather than good. Yeah they worked hard but we gifted them 3 goals. I don't remember them creating a chance after the third and we should have nicked it on chances. We weren't at our best and it is amazing how important stones is already. I hope to see him and vk together week in week out soon. Sterling was great and kolo rolled back the years. Hate Rodgers and hope we dick them at our place.

There's a difference between being arrogant and being confident. Us being city fans should know that better than most seeing as we've had to deal with United all those years.
People who expected them to go out there tonight and just roll over because they were playing against the likes of aguero, are arrogant.
People who expected them to give us a good game, but us to win, are confident.

i dont think anyone expected them to just roll over. we've played the best football we've ever played and they've been rubbish recently. I'm sorry but i keep hearing this about city fans should know better and about us and united. id say 99% of city aren't arrogant and do know the difference, a few on a forum doesnt mean we've suddenly turned into untied fans. we have every right to sound arrogant tbh with how we've been playing. we dont have to constantly show respect to other teams/fans.

Regardless what league Celtic play in,if one or two players are not on it you can get away with it,but all bar sterling where not on it and we should have won tonight,a draw is meh ok,but think about it we where for the majority of the game poor and still should have won...

Just one of those games...onward and upwards

Aye. Just a fucking pub team ;-)

In a way I am pleased that this type of result has happened now. This is a wake up call for the Spurs game, and takes a bit of pressure off us being expected to win every game. I think we can bounce back against Tottenham.

Agree with this. We aren't going to win every game. A wake up call before the Spurs game will be useful.

Bang on mate , they played well in front of 60,000 pissed up loud idiots - it's no biggy.

They will be back to playing Hibs away on Saturday - after playing one of there two biggest home games for the next eighteen months.

some fucking tap dancing fannys on here.

Actually they play Dundee away early Saturday I'm gonna stick £20 on Dundee,Celtic players will get a reality check after this tonight and won't get up for it..

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

They did get battered and deserved stick for that and the Scottish league is poor, but I remember the battles of Britain games of the 80s and 90s when the Glasgow two ALWAYS gave you a game. I am not saying we should not have been confident but never assume we will battered them on their patch.

that was 30/40 years ago when the scottish league was full of good players. i dont think many assumed we would batter them, but the way we have been playing it wouldn't have been a surprise.

Yep

1 fairly bad game after winning 10 games in a row and some are acting like we got beat by Accrington Stanley. You couldn't make it up mate.

Wonder how they coped pre 2008

Not sure about the second mate. Zabaleta was miles out of position.

But he had cover in Sterling giving him license. I'd agree if we had no one to cover.

 

[dave_blue12]

Fully expect to struggle against Spurs but we gotta remember Pep has only been here 5 mins. It's going to take time and our great start has fooled people into thinking we are actually better than we are.

It will come good but we all have to expect some unpleasant bumps in the road

Spot on.

 

[SWP's back]

I seem to have angered a few with this comment. It's true though, some city fans are incredibly arrogant.

Yet you replied to yourself rather than counter the points.

Tells a story in itself.

 

[Phil1]

Ah so mentioning shit defending is throwing in the towel.

Well Pep will be throwing the towel in right now then, because he won't fucking sleep thinking about it.

Tonight was shit defending not brilliance from Celtic. Pep knows it.

Which is our best chance & the biggest difference from last season, where the manager would be happy enough. Pep will acknowledge it & try to fix it.

I just can't get to het up about tonight, mate. It's that simple for me. I thought we'd finish second in the group and still do, though it's not beyond the realms of possibilities that we get something from the Barca games. I'm sure Pep will be a bit more animated about it than me and I'm sure he'll do what he thinks he needs to fix things.
What can I say, I'm quite confident about the season ahead and tonight isn't going to shake that belief.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Can't win them all.
Very sloppy start and still we can't cope with teams who press high. This has been going on for 5 years.
Zaba and Gundogan had poor games again.

 

[br88]

Obviously lots to discuss about tonight's game but for me the performance of Raheem Sterling was immense. The improvement in his game over such a short period of time is amazing....it is gonna be exciting to see how his career progresses.

"I don't think anyone"
You haven't been spending much time on here then have you :^)
We have every right, it doesn't mean we should
It's fucking annoying

 

[Bluep*ss]

Celtic played well but got all the luck. Not playing Stones at CB was a mistake.
Lets move on now, tough game on sunday.
Sterling played very well tonight.

Maybe Pep put Stones on the bench because of his performance against the Swans - gave the ball away so often

 

[cpa]

We had 24 shots.

Ha yea ok .. stats work for you
how many troubled the keeper
