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

[northendenton]

You've not had one of mine:-)

Listen Compo I would not stay in the same postcode as your wellies.lol

Much easier when we're already ahead and against a tiring team that were leaving big gaps at the back to exploit.

Sterling was commiting platers and going past them and making runs in behind...none of that happening first half or second . Gabby....more energy, work rate and better movement off the ball..defensively better as well.

Mahrez and Grealish were very average and they both had plenty of opportunities with the ball

 

[Stoned Rose]

Score line was a bit flattering imo.

Not a champagne performance but job done.

Grealish looks like he hasn’t got a fucking clue what he’s supposed to be doing. He isn’t a left winger and playing him there is making him look bang average. Needs to be in the CM or ACM roles.

 

[manimanc]

Some serious bad blood between Sterling and Guardiola - difficult to judge who was the most pissed off after Sterling’s goal.

So you drop a shit post, fuck off and don't expand on what you said.
Shittest attempt at wumming I've seen on here and there's been plenty of guff on here over time.
Not happy we've won no?

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

I don't think he's quite on Busquets's extraordinarily high level in that sense (although still great). But:

1) He's got the perfect coach in Pep
2) He's built like a fridge, which makes him far more useful in a PL side than Busquets would be at certain times.

 

[Bill Walker]

No one is denying he's a polarizing player.. but cmon- from a tactical standpoint he put's the team in some very bad positions, gets caught out of position constantly or just gives the ball away. I think these things can be worked on but on the whole I prefer Zinchenko, personally.

I personally think he's world class, playing out of position constantly. I seriously cant remember Zinchenko making 3 assists and hitting the post. But its I guess its all about opinions.

Pep's interview, once again getting the point across nobody helps us

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola to BT Sport: "Fully deserved. In the first few minutes we scored a goal but after conceding we dropped a little bit.

"The second half was really good. A good game, good victory. We need one point to go through, three points to win the group."

On Leipzig helping them out with a late goal against PSG: "We help each other. What we've done these years... when you're at Manchester City, you realise nobody will help you. Everything to do, we've done it. When you're in high ranking and big clubs, I understand maybe. Here no. Whe we win, we do it.

"All the titles I won before were because I was at big clubs. Absolutely, the pleasure is higher [in winning things with City]. The fight to win the hierarchy in the Premier League is good.

"Every game is tough. They changed the shape we played in Belgium.

"We played really good football. I liked how we played."

Clearly didn’t read my post then. If you had I’d said he’d done some good things but from central positions. Isolated out wide he struggled. Not sure why saying that creates such reaction.

fair enough. Plenty of time for him to learn from Pep

 

[Manciniera]

Just noticed Dortmund could still go out…
Sign Haaland in January.
Can he play in Champions league for us?

 

[ninjamonkey]

Can't say it flattered us but that score line makes it look like a much easier game than it was. A lot of the issues we had against Palace remained and it was only when the subs were made that we seemed to start opening them up. Job done and good result in the other game leaves top spot there for the taking if we deliver, will need to be better in our remaining 2 games.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Should Kev get back in for the derby?

I know he was only on 15mins but he still didn't look right

He’s a card that Pep

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Gave the ball away in the build up to their goal.

Walker should have blocked the cross

 

[Irishblue93]

Isn't that what happens at the final whistle or was you expecting them to set up camp?

Well most of the players tend to applaud the fans, shake hands etc. But was clear as soon as the whistle went both went off in a huff

 

[paulchapo]

Bravo Pep

Everybody knows it but they're either too scared or biased to say it.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

in regards to referee decisions, or what?

The 'establishment' and their 'favoured' clubs.

Smeg?

He's more of a Gareth Barry. Not the biggest or the most physical and definitely not the quickest but just brings so much all-round game to the midfield. Especially given we have so many half pint midfielders.
