City vs Bayern Munich Post match Thread

Yawn.
Always got an excuse for king yaya.

Not at all mate but Milner ffs

If tonight's roles were reversed and milner played the way yaya did, whilst yaya came on and did what milner did, i'm certain your outlook would be very different from what it is now and you'd take no issue slagging milner off.

Not in the slightest mate YaYa is a footballer Milner is not it's really that simple, if YaYa is shit I will say so but tonight our CM were stiched up by the coaching staff

Not every team can have Guardiola as manager,who has worked his magic and has them playing superb football .

Awesome to watch.

We are working with who we could afford,

who was available,

and who wanted to come to City.

City were beaten by a very well organised , fit ,slick, European Champions.

We are miles away from Bayerns quality, but the process continues,improvement every season.

if we lose in moscow we won't qualify, hell even if we draw we still have to beat them and plzen at home

Can you tell me how you come to that? Area you saying we have no chance against Moscow at home or they will take points off Bayern.

What the fuck was Pellegrini thinking with that starting line-up?! No change after half an hour when it was obvious we needed an extra man in the midfield?...I knew it was a mistake playing Richards and don't get me started on Hart....Fuck me I don't mind getting beat by a class team but why make it so fucking easy.

Really dropped off has our Joe , seems like he doesn't care anymore.

People keep talking about VK and his leadership but many a side can play around him and you wonder just how much he actually can inspire others on the field to put in a better shift.

Saturday is d day for this side both under this set up and quite likely under MP.

That goal from Negredo,that misunderstanding at the middle which caused Boateng the red card,destroyed my happyness about this total domination over City in their own stadium.A game that should be at least 0-5 went 1-3 and for a bit we were near to 2-3.

Whatever... Bayern overall today was fantastic,pure class,I can't say much,City looked like a 2nd division team,there were not much to discuss except our own mistakes for the final 10' minutes this shouldn't happen again.

Why don't you go and stand in a chippy.

He's right though Shirley. The German cnut. ;)

Bayern didn't show any desire. They simply showed a level of professional expertise that we couldn.t match.

Of course, technically they're on a different planet to us. Tactically too at the moment. But they also showed masses of desire, not only to press and to (want to) work their bollocks off, but also to get on the ball and play, even under pressure. The lack of bravery on the part of our players - excluding the three subs - was mindblowing.

Bravery has nothing to do with it. lol. Heart, bravery, desire etc all mean nothing when your team is set up to lose against the most skillful and efficient team.

Course it does. If the Bayern players hadn't played with the desire to work and run and press we'd have had a far more comfortable evening. Sure he got the tactics wrong, but that doesn't excuse the lack of balls shown by our players - games like that, desire and bravery become arguably even more important than otherwise, and we were found to be painfully lacking.

A big reality check, I really thought we were a better side than that. Wrong tactics and it was obvious after 10 minutes and should have been changed at least at half time. Couldn't believe we still had Dzeko on and playing 2 up front after the break. Our team was crying out for Silva to come on and get hold of the ball, trying to play all this expansive free flowing football as our directors are dictating how we should play is fucking us up results wise.

Fine, i concede, play with 11 Milners and we would have won. Hands down spanked them with bravery.

and tactical nous of course....

Why does Dzeko start ahead of this man?

Because he helped you win the title? Because his goals of the bench last season gave this team chance to play in CL this year? Because he was your best forward in the preseason?? Because Negredo still need to prove himself?
