FC Basel V Manchester City - Post-Match Thread

Spot on.
Bit harsh on Delph though.

Given his injury lay off i doubt he would have played in a tougher fixture mate was the point i made.

He played very well tonight.

Happy clapping?

We just won 4-0 and you come on here and accuse happy City fans of happy fucking clapping?

No, I accuse those lambasting any one that suggests we could improve on the performance.

It’s a forum FFS, if you want a place to just slap each other’s backs and smoke cigars go down to your nearest gentlemen’s and order a scotch.

When did I say anything about “giving 100%”? Are you even reading my posts before you respond?

I dispair with the state of discussion on here sometimes.

I think the problem you have mate is that when it comes to football and specifically players responses to the situation they find themselves you are a bit of a simpleton.

No offence mind

Some of the comments on here! Anyone would think we were back losing at Stockport County again! We just beat a decent European team 4-0 on their own patch, a team that don't often lose against English teams, we are 99.99999% in the last 8 of the premier European tournament, 16 points ahead in the premier league, in a domestic final and 3 or 4 games from an FA cup final, really what do people want!

I must confess I stopped reading at a 100% level after you used the word diluted rather than deluded...the opposition was clearly very weak and I lost concentration.

So accept people thinking and telling you that your talking shit.

And I was responding about his and others’ larger point about closing out games better than we did. But ok, back to tribal happy clapping before we’re put in our place.

It's ridiculous.

We should have conceded a penalty and the defence was suspect on several occasions and could have been punished and probably would have been against better opposition.

I'm a little perplexed why that opinion is ridiculed when it is in no way taking away from a great result.

I get the feeling you'd like to see us knocked out. just so you can say, I told you so.

Good for you, put words in my mouth based on fuck all. I'm very rarely negative about City, but at the same time I'm not going to pretend that defensive performance was anywhere near the standard we have set this season, or the standard required for us to win the CL. It was a let off.

Pep has also stated we could have been 2-0 down before we scored and weren't at our best defensively, is he also desperate for us to get knocked out?
