Having watched it again on tv, Sane is fucking great, which makes the comments on here even more bizarre. I'm guessing it's down to listening to Robbie Savage.
And yet again, even with Kelechi playing, two crosses go through the 6 yard box, without a City player being anywhere near it.
These are tap ins for Sean Goater & we really need to sort this out. Brian Kidd was diving heading in stuff like that back in the day.
We really must have players ready to attack the ball. Not just Kelechi. Midfield players, wide players whoever, they have to get in the danger area for the crosses, near & far post, & the pullbacks.

I agree
Couldn't understand the media attention and criticism that Sane got after the game on Tuesday. Thought he showed some great signs in his play

Eh? I'm not Celtic fan, believe me, I hate them and their bigoted pals across the road They won the European Cup in 67, got to the final in 1970 again and lost on pens in the 72 semi-finals. I saw them play at the time and they were a fabulous side. They also got to the semis again in 1974....hardly "never truly tested"...that team would have finished top 5 in the English league every season 66-74 having barely broken sweat. In 1970/71 season they pipped my Scottish team, Aberdeen by a couple of points. That season, in Europe Aberdeen beat Celta Vigo home and away and only lost 3-1 to Juventus on aggregate. The following season, 1972, Rangers won the ECWC.
These teams might be poor now but in the 70's it was a different story.
Actually, I'm not disputing that they were a top team. In fact my original post was defending City from the "Lack of history" angle, rather than directly criticising Celtic
I was just making the point that in the one club per country era, it was a lot easier for Celtic to qualify for the European Cup than City, United, Leeds, Liverpool etc. That's why they were in the competition every year and City weren't,
Yes, they beat Leeds in 69-70, but then again, Leeds were in the the middle of a brutal encounter with Chelsea in the FA Cup Final. (not that I was bothered because I was supporting Celtic in that game)
Also, once you were in the competition, you could get to the quarter finals, simply by beating the Champions of Northern Ireland or Malta.
Anyway, Airdrie are my Scottish team, so i doubt I'll ever see them in Europe.

Imo, he's largely been a waste of space this season, until the last two games, where he's looked, imo, a wonderfully exciting prospect.
Robbie fucking 'Eees not done enough for me' Savage & the like, are actually influencing City fans views imo.

I didnt notice him much in the first half though he was on the opposite side of the pitch to me. Thought he came into it more second half. Reckon theres a very good player in there

I rewatched the whole game, mainly focussing on Roberts, Sane, Tosin, Maffeo & Kelechi. Oh & Zabba.
Sane was quite often in a conventional fullback position, in a 4, even though it was technically a back 3, with Maffeo forward doing the pressing. His discipline was fantastic. Then he was making 60 yard runs, at pace, & passing he fullback at the other end. Nolito & Gundogan often didn't have the radar to spot him. Silva/DeBruyne would.
Then he was getting back, not instantly, but in perfectly good time. 1v1 Roberts couldn't get a sniff out of him. He was the most dangerous attacking player & a decent defender, in the same game. I'm convinced now that Pep could make a fullback out of him if he wanted (not that he will).
Incredible people in the media saw Roberts' two moments dribbling past Clichy of evidence he's closer to the level required than Sane.

That's because we hardly got the ball out to him first half, also as NK says we need to be attacking the box better, i was screaming for Maffeo to get to the back post a couple of times but we seem hesitant to do so, the ball being cut back to the edge is great but we need to mix it up more, Sane looks a great prospect, needs a goal for his confidence, but the ability is certainly there.
