FC Basel V Manchester City - Post-Match Thread

[andyhinch]

I'm going for Bernardo's but they were all fucking good.

I love blue moon sometimes. It’s so hostile that arguments can break out even when you win 4-0 away in he champions league knock outs. Us City fans have to be made of sterner stuff to be able to survive this forum.

Outside now.

Your profession ? Well i still prefer the Whopper to the BigMac your lot are still knocking out , (apologies it was too tempting) . Simple facts are Basle should have had a penalty and created a couple of half chances with "hoof ball" , we scored four good goals and missed at least half a dozen more decent opportunities ,in a perfect world we win 10-3 , the world alas is not perfect , and certainly not in my profession , brain surgeon.

Not sure where the venom is coming from, mate. I was just commenting on us being brilliant but still having room for improvement, as Pep has said many times. This profession reference was just to say I’ve found that mentality helpful, as I am sure you have in what you do, perfect world or not.

First English team to win at their ground I believe...

Sublime!

Nope ! Arsenal won there 3 years ago 1-4.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Where's Ferna at with his bookings in this comp? Silly one tonight.

Yellow cards:

3: KDB
2: Dinho, Gündogan and Danilo
1: Otamendi, Walker

1 match ban after 3, 5, 7, 9... bookings

All yellows wiped out after completion of QF.

No doubt, 4-0 is a great result. However, ambition is to never be satisfied.

 

[hilts]

The simple answer to those being negative is sit down and before you post contemplate human nature and try and understand what high risk high reward
Football actually means. If it’s not for you try that mourinho bloke.

Sloppy bastards.

Well done City.
Having the tie in the bag gives an opportunity to rest players before the really big games start.
We also have nearly a week off before Wigan so that should also build a bit of energy.

Great performance tonight. Ilkay is made for CL football. Thought all the players did really well - one thing I love about this team is they are ruthless in their desire to win.

 

[Burtonblue]

What was it ? Laporte seemed highly amused on the bench.

Sounds like an unconventional goal line clearance....maybe a scorpion kick???

You're taking all the wrong drugs dopey...and sort your fucking punctuation out, it's a fucking mess unless you are ten years old, mind you, that would explain the insightful nature of your posts.

Are you the twerp who doesn't know the difference between diluted and deluded or are you the twerp that just doesn't know what an apostrophe is or that in between is two separate words?

Nope, you got the wrong fella.

 

[SebastianBlue]

We better had, pissed off I didn't go to this I'll not miss the next round assuming we get through, still should be a good weekend for wembley.

I’ll be back for the return leg watching our academy play (on my birthday) so I am hoping we put on a good show. Wish I could be around for the later stages but pub watching will have to suffice.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Nope, you got the wrong fella.

Happens to him quite a lot, I imagine.

 

[Dax777]

Will be a quiet thread this. Nothing to whinge and bitch about.

Great result and will give us a chance to rest a few for the return. Well done blue boys.

Foden didn't get on. There is always something to whinge about :)

Ta mate

 

[dachoosen1]

Thank God I logged on tonite, I was sitting like a Muppet thinking we done well!lol

 

[Dax777]

Thought we were somewhat sloppy and wasteful and yet won so comfortably.

I said in the match thread, everyone else must be shitting their pants.

Agreed

 

[lastmanback]

Seems there's zero discussion.

Is Kompany rusty or finished. His partnership with Otta or the progression towards Stones and Laporte. Is Mendy enough without quality backup as Delph isn't up to it.

These are the sorts of interesting discussions that could be had when talking about trying to improve after tonights performance when anybody can see that Basel could easily have had three goals. Instead it ends up a farcical discussion.

Ah well.

They could have had 3. We could have had 7/8. What's your problem. We know we have a defence that can be got at. But so can any team??

 

[Burtonblue]

Gundogan’s second.
Pure class!
