Galatasaray (H) | CL | Post-Match Thread

[PragueBlue]

Good performance overall. 2 goals, plenty of other chances created (and unfortunately missed!) and a clean sheet.

We took it a bit easier 2nd half and saw the game out. Through in the top 8 and we should be stronger in the knock-out phase with players coming back from injury, suspension and Semenyo/Guehi eligible.

I'll happily take that!

 

[Berti No Show]

Top 8. Can't ask for much more really. We've got through the toughest period in our season with a Top 8 finish and still fighting for 4 trophies and now 4 points behind Arsenal in the league.

What crisis?
Keep the faith. MCFC.

 

[why me? Blue Manchester]

By the skin of our teeth
Well done blues

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Isn’t it 9th, 24th, 10th or 23rd that we face in the round of 16, depending on the draw and who wins those games?

So we play either:

Real Madrid
Inter Milan
Bodo Glimt
Benfica

 

[madloaf]

The difference between this city team and the past is the length of time with which we look like world beaters. It used to be 85 mins. It's now 35.

Let's get that to 60 by the end of Feb and then maybe....

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Knowing UEFA it'll be Real Fucking Madrid again.

Look at my face. Am I bovvered?

 

[The Black Shed]

Another clean sheet = yay
Guehi can play in the knockout stages = yippee
Semenyo also = woop

 

[Ajm1985]

I think I'm warming up to UCL league format.. it's madness on the final day!

To be fair, it is more fun.

 

[big gaz]

Best thing is no extra 2 games. Get players back its cup time and anything can happen, keep the faith blues :-)

 

[borassic]

Good win. Played very well in that first half.

So many miserable cunts in the match thread.

One even said we don't deserve to go through and should be out of the CL altogether on the 2nd half performance ffs.

As it is we're through. Come on City!!

Haha yeah, they’ll be back on here in a bit no doubt

 

[jamielowndes]

Keeping those 2 extra games off the calendar is massive.

 

[stan bowles]

A worrying lack of quality second half. Similar to Wolves in that respect. Anyway, we did what we needed which was the essential thing tonight.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

So wasteful every game now, we have to start stepping it up in matches

Fuck me. If you win a million quid you’d moan you didn’t win 1,000,001.

 

[Revolver]

Through to knock out stage of Champs League.
Nearly through to final of league cup.
2nd in league
Still in FA Cup.

Not bad for a team in transition and hit by injuries.

Thank you Pep and team

Ps : Wish we played better in second half of games.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Job done…just. There’s no way we should have been looking to the other results. Galatasaray were no good but we just stopped playing. Every week we come out for the 2nd half and it’s absolutely abysmal. WTF do we do at HT?

Ketamin with a spice chaser!

 

[dadnlad]

RAN was excellent. Some solid performances in what was a tricky game. Doku the playmaker and great to see Erling score again! No idea what happened to the urgency, impetus & decision making second half.

they pushedd up we shit bed
dug in and got result but why try walk ball in net

 

[Ken92]

Cheers up Ken for Christ's sake

Oh i will if we get 6 points from our next 2 league games.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Knowing UEFA it'll be Real Fucking Madrid again.

Madrid, Inter, Bodo or Benfica. Assuming Madrid and Inter both win, 50:50 between the two.

I'll happily take that!

Far, far too positive for on here. Get with the programme.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Who do we play next round?!?!

We’ll need to see what Bournemouth want us to do.
