Feyenoord (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

Don't want to hear anyone whine about the matchday thread and it's negativity again. I just watched Pep scrapping with himself.

Anyone know why Cambrian Street was blocked off last night? The easy way of getting to the Green Car Park was blocked about thirty yards of so from the entrance. it had gone at FT. Was there an incident, road works or was it just a pre-match fuck up to match the in-game fuck up?

Because they have more footballing knowledge than disgruntled city fans.

Absolutely spot on.

I can understand pep taking players off with the game against the scousers. But should have told them just play defensiveness waste time.we didn't need any more goals .but that isn't his way and it cost us

I’ve always said that after the 10 years we’ve had, I wouldn’t care if we didn’t win owt else ..

I was wrong, this slump is killing me, last night, I couldn’t sleep at all.. I’m a FOC and need my sleep an all ..

Come on City, buck the fuck up will ya….!!!!

Gundo signing was just shortsighted…….

It was a freebie that came up as a surprise. He's had to play much more than he should have done.

What I’d give for Alvarez and palmer right now.

For years it was "city won't stop trying to score". It is not that way and hasn't been for 18 months.

I thought we were ok yesterday until the ridiculousness of the last 15 minutes. We actually played some through balls, not nearly as many as we should, but more than most games this season. Gundogan was the primary passer and he was better than he has been all season, but still way too slow.

We just stopped trying to score once we made the subs. I think for a team that has conceded 2 goals in every game this season (or at least it seems that way) to bring on a kid and plop him at centre back just seemed foolish and/or naive.

Pressure forces mistakes, and we invited pressure on once we stopped trying to score.

For all the pile on Gvardiol, who looked fine until Ake went off, Ederson was at fault for all 3 goals in someway or another. The lack of communication with Akanji for the first one, letting the ball between leg and post on the 2nd one, and then the 3rd one oh lord.

You have to laugh sometimes or you will cry/smash something (depending on who you are).

Sorry but not a single manager in the world would think it's foolish and naive to bring on a kid at that stage. Managers have been doing that for decades in the CL to give them experience when in a comfortable lead. If you cant do that at 3-0 up when can you do it?

At least 2 of the goals were Gvardiol mistakes, the pass to McAtee with the players around him in the central defensive position was horrendous. For some reason we're panicking once the ball is in our half and we're under a bit of pressure and in the last couple of matches he seems to be the worst.

I think when we get the fully fit players back we'll be fine, Stones doesn't panic, Diaz doesn't panic, and some of the goals we've conceded have been half chances that normally wouldn't happen. I would put all three of their goals last night in that bracket but as we know more than most, when things are not going for you it's tough.

We need to get over them two leaving. They both wanted out. No one would be bothered about either of them if we were winning.

In an aging squad it really looks like two strange decisions. I know they wanted to go blah blah blah but still.
