Club Brugge (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

Am not convinced Savio can influence the game for 90 mins so agree with him not starting.
That 19 year old blonde fullback had phil in his pocket first half. So great sub and changes from pep.
We managed to keep the ball in the fridge as pep says in the last ten minutes thanks to Jonny Stones.
Don't care who we play next am looking forward to a great night under the Etihad floodlights. CTID
We needed a winger playing tonight against the low block.

Phil and Bernardo aren’t the answer out wide against deep defences.
 
Exactly. As long as we don't play an English club we've got a shot.
Only team i don't want to play is the dippers.
They're like Madrid uefa get a hard on about them.
I've a funny feeling our names on this this year.
Loads of times a team.thats not doing great in the league wins it.
 
I see Danny fucking **** Mills thought we were decent tonight. Lol Not!

Almost but not quite as big a **** as that geordie journalist twat on sky later on who had a somewhat skewed one eyed opinion of proceedings. Apparently Brugge gave up after the own goal. Also changed the front 3, not because they were fucked, but because their manager was pragmatic in not wanting to concede a hatfull.

Anyone who thinks a side playing a 6-4 formation "played really well" can fuck off. They defended well but that's hardly surprising for any CL side with 11 men behind the ball 90% of the time.

Surprisingly everyone seemingly forgot about their 21 game unbeaten run after we errm, beat them and beat them well. How convenient.

Up the fucking blues.

Fuck Bayern and fuck los blancos. They're doable otherwise they'd be in the top 8 instead of slumming it with City in the lower echelons of the qualifying group.

I hope Pep/Gavrdiol/Nunes noticed how the blond was RIGHT ON TOP of Phil when he was trying to cross, not lamely throwing a despairing leg in the vague vicinity of the ball from 5m away. Constantly annoys me, that one.

But they won't have done :-(
 
The first half was a negative. It was the umpteenth time we have seen, with our own eyes, how easy it is for the opposition to counter and score whilst we create nothing from huge sideways possession on the edge of the oppos area. We have seen once again the same tired legs selected with younger fresher legs benched or out of position. On a game that was deemed a must win. This is not a one off. And ‘the greatest manager’ himself, also thankfully saw his fuck up and changed it. However this isn’t the first time he’s made this disaster of a team selection, he’s far too keen to select old legs this season and it’s not hard to see. Yes, coming from behind is always a good thing but I’d argue we should never of been in that position in the first place. We were lucky it was Brugge. Arsenal, Madrid, Munich et al will destroy us with that first half set up and a few teams lesser than that have already. See Bournemouth, spurs at home. The worry is it’s very obvious even to a lamen. That’s what worries a fair few blues, that and the fact it seems to keep happening.
100%.
Bewildering !!
 
You'd have thought we had lost tonight, some of these comments are outrageous, there's some entitled fans on this forum
Lessons to be learnt, again, from tonight's starting 11, player positions, team structure,tempo etc.

Half time changes were necessary due to the initial set up being so wrong,again.

Fortunately we have the new lads to come in, injured lads to come back and decent subs to richen the mix.

However that shouldn't mask the fact that there are obvious lessons to be learnt from that first half.

Munich for the final could be a good few days, it's a great place !!
 
Maybe you should hang your head in shame. If you don’t like the match thread then give it a miss. Snowflake.
The match day thread is an abomination infested with some of the least knowledgeable, most destructive and verbally dangerous cretins imaginable.

I don't understand why Ric allows space to attention seeking, socially inadequate ignoramus’s who can't be bothered to go to the game.

Drop the bloody thing, it's dangerous,destructive and embarrassing !!
 
1st half was poor.
0-1 was fair enough.
It was the '24 version of the team that came out in the 1st half.

2nd half, moving Foden of the wing and subbing off grandad seemed to have the desired affect and we turned into the city of '25.

I was delighted to see we have learned (again) how to kill the game off. 3-1 up and we pulled the shutters down.

Strange match. Can't really say any player had a standout match.

The away fans were in fine form.
Our side were quiet.

IRONY ALERT! IRONY ALERT! IRONY ALERT!

Ignorami and ignoramuses
are both appropriate plurals of ignoramus.

The argument for ignorami is based on the fact that the common usage of ignoramus comes from a noun.

The argument for ignoramuses is based on the fact that the original root of the word is a Latin verb.
 
Only for the Round of 16 knockout phase, not the play-off. We have to get past Real or Bayern before they can be included in the squad.

That is the problem with fanbase

Win doesn’t mask glaring issues
Brugge is a weaker team

Real Madrid even at shittiest will tear this team with the hose old legs in midfield those who can’t see this are the ones who said Southampton Deserve to be up in the table bcoz we could barely hack a win against them
