Feyenoord (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

[WestGorton]

I don’t get to many games, so tonight was my first of the season and for 70 odd minutes it was just like the few games I went to last season. Not a top class opposition, but not a full strength City and most of the players acquitted themselves well.

Gundo played some great balls, Phil looked pretty sharp. Certainly nothing to be worried about with a players still to come back.

For me the subs changed everything. Too many at once and too early. Had Pep not made three massive changes I feel there is little doubt the game would have been won. I’d have preferred him to let one change bed in.

It reminded me of a game against Leicester a few years ago (Boxing Day), he made a load of changes, took off experience and we nearly blew a 4-0 lead.

We should have won tonight, but didn’t. The team and performance are far better than they are being painted out to be.

Totally agree about the subs.

I was in the Bradford end. Borrowed a couple of their memberships. Trevor to the rescue.

Me too. I was in the stand at the side that got rebuilt after the fire. Frank Newton who lived in Bradford at the time sorted me out a ticket and membership ( You needed both to get in.)

I know.... Liverpool at Anfield....I'd take a 3-0 loss now

Chance would be a fine thing but I'll settle for 1 or 2 goal defeat or a stuffy point.

No absolutely no I want to win every thing sod the nostalgic bullshit we were shit and that’s a stain on our history not something to be proud of or repeated

But you know that can’t happen. No team has ever done that. It isn’t possible. I’m not being nostalgic. Realistic.

 

[oakiecokie]

And do you think that will last forever..?

Of course not but theres no denying that to date it hasn`t done us any harm.

This so called hospital pass is getting like the JFK magic bullet. It's only a hospital pass because it's to McAtee. To Gundogan, Silva or Rodri, it's a normal pass.
Perhaps he should have known that, but after 75 mins, difficult to change.

Not a chance, it was the type of ball even Zidane would have struggled with

City was coasting smoothly with 3:0 before the sub. So Problem must be the subs. and I say it again and again, Akanji cannot lead the defence line. He has no clue. McAfee and KDB do not defend. It will be unfair if this mid and defence line doesn’t collapse.

Gvardiol was at fault for 2 of their goals
No one else.

Emerson had a poor game as well. The second goal and running out unnecessarily for the third. He should have taken him out, got sent off and missed a game.

Good job he doesn't play for.us.

It wasn’t a pass he hit it at him and to compound it in a ridiculous dangerous position can’t blame McAtee

3 wins in 68 years there is proof we rarely get a result at that hellhole. I'm absolutely dreading Sunday with our defence and midfield.
