City v Celtic post match

[TCIB]

Kelechi has barely played for weeks, he needed the minutes before Saturday.

Was gonna note this, giving Kun a kick about or prepping the striker we will use for the next 4 matches, would be madness not to give Nacho the game time imo.

finally some young lads got a chance and did well. its great to see foden on the bench - a stockport lad !

From Wythenshawe but I've heard City have moved him and his family to Stockport.

Fucking Celtic fans trying to use these games like they are good enough to play in this league and compete in it.

You're not. You wouldn't. Also Scott Brown is a fucking ****. Wouldn't last two months in this league. You think your team is worth more than £25m? No fucking chance.

Also don't forget who gave you the player who scored tonight, hope we draw you again next year and he fucking tears you apart. Fuck back off to the SPL where you can dry fuck Hamilton 4 times a year. ****s

We couldn't beat them though could we, with a squad that has cost city about a billion in wages and contract fees?

We didn't need to. UEFA rules prevent us stopping him playing against us.

Bugger, yes you're right I remember now. thanks

Ah right.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

Once again don't knock Celtic's 67 European Cup win , it was a magnificent achievement at the time against the mighty Inter Milan and they beat the Rags to it by a year, and look how much retro publicity the Rags victory gets.

I wasn't knocking their achievement in the Final. I was just suggesting that it was a lot easier to reach the Final in those days (especially if you were from a two-team League and virtually guaranteed entry every season)

We've also lost to Villa, Newcastle, Wigan twice, Boro, struggled to beat Watford and Sheff Weds in the cup comps in the last five years.

Villa and Newcastle were shit Prem sides, Wigan were relegated when they beat us in the final, then were in the division below when they beat us the year after as were Boro Watford and SheffWeds. All but that final were home games as well.

I get that but I'd have played both and gone for it

Even with a weakened team we should be beating Celtic. That said, square pegs in round holes with some of the players. We have a lot of players who have unreliable touch and end product. Quality is defined by how often you can do good things. We have a lot of players who are capable of producing a good moment, but don't possess the quality to do it often enough. A fair few of those were on show tonight.

It felt a bit like a shop window friendly where you utilise your back ups to remind other teams that these players still exist and are available.

Positives, Kelechi took his goal well. Maffeo was ok. Gundogan was very good. Roberts looked good.

Negatives, Sane looks off although does show flashes of pace and ability. Nolito is a bit frustrating although started well.

And the rest....Fernando, Willy, Zabba, Clichy and Sagna are all a good level below what we are aiming for and it's becoming more and more obvious with each passing week. Will really miss Zabba though. He had a few good moments tonight but he gets slower every time I see him.
