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

[2infinity&beyond]

Worrying first half. No creativity, stray passing. Play that at OT and its over after 45minutes. Delighted with the score but feel weve lost that invicibility and teams dont fear us like they used to. KDB getting back to top form is key for us. Bernardo is immense and first on the team sheet for me.

Feel happy tonight after a pretty depressing run of form for us, it's nice to get a few goals. Love seeing Palmer play. Well done Cancelo, Phil, Bernardo, Rodri and happy for Sterling. Great second half. Now let's destroy the rags on Saturday.

Oooh, Pep insinuating (rightly) that we get 'zero help but other clubs...'.

Fine incoming???

Pep has the glint of fighting talk the last few interviews I’ve seen, he’s ready!

Great interview by pep at the end reminding everyone about the battles against the hierarchy in football whilst at City

What's his beef tonight ?

I love Pep. He's mental. His post match dig at the establishment clubs was quality.

 

[Gobshiight]

I love Pep, he's so weird

Bit of a siege mentality feeling from that though - maybe something new has happened towards City behind the scenes

raz no goal - sell him now
raz goal - just a tap in merchant

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

Nothing really , it was suggested Leipzig helped us, he just said nobody helps us , everything we achieve we work for and deserve ourselves.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

The 4 yard tap in was a doozy

We've seen him miss them, from nearer ;-)

 

[SamBlue]

Finally lived to see Pep making some drastic tactical changes after the first half, Bernardo moving back and Gundo forward, definitely changed things, and then hooking both Grealish and Mahrez off, hahahahahahahahha, I loved it. Foden energetic as always, although not spectacular, Cancelo just showing how versatile and important he became to us, but Rodri was motm for me, the same rhythm for 90 minutes, always in control of the two acres of land he is given to take control of.

I do like a feisty Pep

What the hell was all that about?

What's his beef tonight ?

Stroganoff or Wellington probably

 

[OB1]

He’s struggling when he’s isolated out wide with the ball at his feet, he just doesn’t really know quite what to do. Showed with those chances he created how much more comfortable he is play a bit deeper and more central.

He's changing his game to fit with what Pep wants so he is on a learning curve: he has to judge when to pass and when to take defenders on.

 

[hilts]

Stroganoff or Wellington probably

Wellington I hope

Goes unnoticed but Rodri has made that CDM position his, was compared to Busquets at atletico and this season he is 100 percent showing why there were those comparisons, amazing season so far, controls that midfield
