FC Basel V Manchester City - Post-Match Thread

Hahaha, just what I’ve written.

Happy with the result of course and having the game almost won already but watching Juve v Spurs has me wondering whether this R16 game has been a little too easy ? The QF will be a big step up in quality of opposition.

Such a good victory..... Gives Pep a chance to rotate in the return leg

It’s a fantastic result.

Wigan lost tonight again too. Can see them not giving a shit about our game as it’s getting very tight at the top of their league.

Amazing bit of skill from Kyle to slice the ball over the incoming player and drive upfield.

Good but not quite as good as Bernardo killing the ball dead as it dropped over his shoulder near the touchline.

I quite like these "woeful" 4-0 wins.

Especially when it’s a beautiful Swiss woman you have to consol...

Actually, I take it back, it’s easy. ;-)

Its like cliche bingo on here at times it really is.

Why quote that sentence in isolation and be a dick. It was a good result as I said.

My opinion is that our defence was poor and we will be punished and out if they play to that standard against the likes of PSG Barca Bayern and Real As I said in the rest of the post that you didn't quote.

If you can't see that then you're not worth discussing it with.

Excellent performance and great displays throughout the team.

Four great goals and a clean sheet as well, though we were more than a little lucky with the penalty decision.

This result gives Pep more options for the home leg, and maybe Foden or Diaz will be given a start.

Ilkay was my MotM.

Lol there are still people complaining on here

HOW DID YOU GET THAT PICTURE OF ME!?

 

[homerdog]

It's not me being unrealistic.

It absolutely fucking is, we are playing some of the best football ever seen and all you can do is moan about it.

Ha ha that's funny ....!

That was top class 1st gear mode we're watching something absolutely unbelievable, I'm in dreamland this football club is on another level at the moment long may it continue.

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?

 

[MCFC1993]

Brilliant result, the performance could have been better but brilliant result.

 

[Blue Til Death]

My man of the match was the amazing Fernandinho, he's the rock in our side, outstanding every game ...
Great stuff tonight and looking forward to playing them again in a few weeks

 

[cleavers]

Four great goals and a clean sheet as well

Didn't we give them 3 goals ? I'm sure I read that earlier in the thread.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Yes, from some of our defenders that was woeful. Nothing remotely threatening about that Basel attack yet we managed to make a right pigs ear of dealing with some very routine balls and on another day could have let in 3 or 4. That's woeful in my book, but maybe I just have higher standards for us.

is it a good view from your pedestal ? very rare i witness this sort of arrogance on Bluemoon , you have excelled yourself this time.

 

[happy]

Play like that against the better teams and we will be out.

But we wouldn't play like that against a better team would we you ninny, you play the team that's in front of you. You do understand that different levels of opposition require different levels of effort? If we were playing Rochdale we'd probably not concentrate quite as hard as if we were playing Barcalona?

I confidently predict that when we reach the next round we'll probably be playing against a better side than Basel, in which case we'll play harder better.

It's like a mental illness. People, we are witnessing the best football any of us have ever seen, for fuck sake enjoy it...it's like complaining about a lottery win because it wasn't a fucking rollover.
