FC Basel V Manchester City - Post-Match Thread

When in form, Gundogan is as good to watch as Merlin.

Nah! Lol :-)

 

[remember arthur mann]

you've never played football in defence have u ?

Funny that, played full back, but another shocker from Delph, good job 'The General' bailed him and Walkabout out !

 

[SebastianBlue]

Can I add hypocrisy as well?

Well, admitting to it is the first step, so well done.

 

[BlueS]

Flukey.

Did anyone see what ederson did to make everyone laugh? Thanks

I have no issue with those who want to point out flaws like defending simple over-the-top balls or whatever, but when one does so without ALSO recognizing high points like Kun's distribution, Gundogan's trickery, Walker's remarkable runs, Fernandinho's tackles then it make you look like at best a sour churl and at worst a fucking dickhead.

And those who have pointed out that at 4-0 getting some game time for those who have been out is smart football are right. David and Leroy looked rusty, eh? Gee, you think?!?

You want to criticize after a 0-4 away win in CL against a decent side when we absolutely need a breather in leg 2, and you want to call out specifics, fine -- then do so for both the bad AND the good, not just nitpicking the mistakes along with the generic "I'm happy we won, but . . ." shite.

Hard to blame others for getting wound up.

This is an especially ironic post for so many reasons.

Now think very hard, do you mean ironic or iconic?

 

[NorCalBlue]

We didn't play any of those sides did we?

What makes you think we play that way against a better side?

Do you not see how utterly pointless your remark that i quoted is?

We never got out of 2nd gear because we didn't need to and we played Delph and Vinny because we knew the standard of the opposition tonight allowed us to.

Dont you see that?

Liverpool away?

It's great that we won and it sounds like we were great going forward (haven't seen it yet), but it's not a crime to recognize deficiencies - we'd all better hope Pep analyses our defensive performance more critically than the average poster.

one thing, they're not bloody 8-finals, it's the Last 16.

That's rather ironic coming from you. Instead of juvenile meaningless barbs, why not engage your brain and come up with a counter argument if you disagree with a reasoned



The remark you quoted is pointless in isolation because the context of it was in relation to our defence playing against the better teams in the competition and you chose to point score by quoting it in isolation.

Are you hard of thinking ?

Please shut up, you’re speaking nonsense.
