Club Brugge (H) - CL - Post-Match Thread

[The perfect fumble]

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

It sold out, but it wasn’t full and that the attendance won’t have been what it says it was. Back of CBL3 and SSL3 had chunks of empty seats, the corporate areas were sparse in some areas, the 2-3 seats dotted about in most other blocks around ESL1 and FSL1, plus the away end only being ⅔ full.



I reckon it was easily below 50,000 actually in the ground.

Who cares?

Something definitely seems to be going on with Sterling imo given Pep’s reaction when asked about him there

It has been for months. It was obvious during the Euros with Sterling’s interviews there. I was pounced upon by domalino and others suggesting I was mishearing things.

Sterling wants to play every game.

His recent output means he doesn’t deserve to.

I hope he scores a hat trick at St James Park next month and they bid £200m for him.

I'd recommend watching this post match press conference from Pep.

Pep: 'Now it is time to think about United'

Pep Guardiola says now the Brugge game is over, the focus turns to the Manchester derby.

He's in an incredibly bullish mood.

That was a brilliant watch. I love him when he’s confrontational with nobody journos. Marvellous the way he just got up and walked off at the end without even looking at them.

Anyone got a thread, my stick went down for the last 20 mins

You could use dental floss. Just don’t tie it too hard or you’ll ruin the circulation.

Wellington I hope

It’s as tough as old boots apparently.

Pep is the greatest! Anyone that now thinks he doesn't get it, think again.
I only hope that his passion has permeated the squad, I believe it has. Saturday will be fookin brilliant. Can't wait.

Superb, he had no time for their bullshit tonight, especially that whining weasel Stone

Sterling or mahrez deserves to start ahead of Grealish.

For this game, happiest for Sterling for his goal. Can see from the celebration that it meant a lot for the others for Sterling to score that because Sterling himself wasn’t that elated for the goal.

Confidence player who’s lacking some self belief or demotivated by something that happened off the field. But after he scored there were clear glimpses of the Sterling that scored 20 in a season.

I’ll play him before Grealish at this point. Grealish needs time to figure out his role in this team and he can try that out in less volatile games. I’ll start Sterling for the derby.

100% agree. Both mahres and sterling should be ahead of grealish, who is had to impress
