Celtic v City post match

[lancs blue]

Thought silva had a noticeably bad game, also think we saw the downside of the Kolarov CB masterstroke, IE he's still not really that great at defending tho.

Shocking Silva assist for the second and a terrible eye of a needle pass to set up the third.

Bravo-6
Zabaleta-4
Otamendi-5
Kolarov-4
Clichy-6
Fernandinho-5
Gundogan-5
Nolito-6
Sterling-8
Silva-7
Aguero-5

Poor showing from most. Fernandinho's worst game since he signed was all over the place

Great game for the neutrals.
Very poor defensive errors/officiating.
Celtic were excellent as was the atmosphere.
Great character from us ,talk of titles etc very premature.

I don't deny for a second that Pep's the best manager in the world, but his substitutions were inexplicable tonight. Iheanacho, Navas and Sané as attacking options on the bench and not a single one of them used despite us needing a goal. Zabaleta, Aguero and Kolarov stood out as being especially poor. Sagna and Stones should've started in retrospect.

Positives:
Sterling looked ridiculously good- goals for him, Fernandinho and Nolito
Still unbeaten
Came back from a goal down THREE TIMES
Their first was offside
We were better
Bravo was fantastic

Will need to be better against Tottenham, that's a bigger game than this though and it will be harder.

The three goals we conceded were bloody awful. One goal conceded like that in a game and you count yourself unlucky but fkin three !!!

Wasn't luck though. The defending was beyond useless but it has been all season.

did we look knackered or is it me? They looked like they had the legs on us and that I didn't expect

its you , they looked fooked

 

[blueinsa]

Fuck me we have some flaky fans.

We drew FFS yet proclamations of we won't win fuck all this season after winning 10 games and drawing 1 are a new low for this place pmsl.

 

[CitizenTID]

Aguero was isolated just like under Pellegrini which is worrying

I'd say the opposite, they worked their arses off for 25 minutes of each half & made it an even game, then just held on for the last 20 minutes of each half. Managed to get themselves 3 goals in those 50 minutes of intense work - couldn't keep it up each time though.

Dembele acting like he meant the scuffed overhead kick!

Kudos for trying it, but it was meant to go to the other side!

I watched the whole game on BT, but not the pundits. They certainly weren't biased on the match commentary.

It was Phil Thomson I think on the stream I was watching. They were wetting themselves at the prospect of Celtic beating us. Substitute the rag shit for us and they would have been singing a different tune.

 

[Tevez City]

Not impressed with Gundogan or Zabaleta tonight.

 

[bigf42]

Pep got this wrong, should of had the 2 ferns in midfield from the start. Too complacent.

 

[Ric]

Fair play to Celtic, they were well up for it, as were their fans. Great spectacle as a game, but our defending was abysmal at times. Sterling was magnificent though.

 

[Danamy]

Got out of jail.

You're right they did, Gundogen should've had a hat-trick

Two mistakes and an off side goal, Celtic deserved fuck out of the game, they were lucky to hang on from what I saw

Roll on Barca...........

 

[Blue and Proud]

Think we needed a game like this, wake up call for Spurs game.

Defence were awfull zabba was struggling kolorov was poor to many rushed passes . Nolito was quiet on the left . On the plus side Raheem was awesome and in the final third we were good.

 

[Gray]

Sterling 9
everyone else shite

Sums it up for me.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Unfortunate as well that the weather played right into their hands, just made it an easier game for Celtic to press us and put us under pressure.

Here we go. Yap yap yap. We played fine. Celtic played us with intensity in the first half which didn't allow us time, doesn't mean we played bad ffs means they did their work. I really don't know what people expect sometimes, teams to lie down and let us play football. Bigger concern is Sunday, no nolito and silva looked injured and slow because of it.
