City Vs Porto In Match Discussion Thread

We're giving away far to many soft free-kicks on the edge of the box. We need to keep the ball better in the second half. Apart from that great start.

Every time we get the ball out wide, Porto bunch up knowing we'll play back toward the middle. Eventually the intricate passing breaks down as the lanes close up.

At some point we're going to have to punish clubs for doing this.

I really don't think we'll see a solution to this until next season. We are so set in our ways with how we play sometimes, it's as if the tactics were decided in pre-season and that's how we're set until next year!

Got to say, when we break and are in a 1v1 or a 2v2 situation,we are awful!!! We seem to panic and pick the wrong option. This "should" be 3 or 4-0 by now, and that from positions that you would expect to score from. 1-0 is a very dangerous score and its far from over. Mancini will be having a word about the finishing at half time i think and quite right as well.

its 3-1

great first half. would have been amazing if sergio's chip shot would have hit the back of the net, but still, we look in control out there. as usual, silva and yaya with some excellent play in the midfield, and aguero is doing a good job of annoying their backs. would have been nice if he could have hit the target on that last one though, it was a little erratic. proud of the lads though...very composed.

Yaya Touré is a brilliant player. :-)

Whats that got to do with anything, you saying we should stop scoring then and just run the clock down? There was great chances in that half we didnt take, and must do in the future.

Defending very well.

Funny how De Jong was booked last week for doing exactly the same thing he did tonight.

Yeah, he really shouldn't do that.

And one goal and they're back in it. How many times do teams score one and the other team panics?

its 3-1 ffs. Got to say I cant believe the negativity on here. We are making this look like a walk in the park. Should this, should that. We are wining against the holders after beating them at their place. COMON CITY.
