Inter (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

[blue by birth]

And how many have we counted tonight?

Seriously????
Fuck me he's breaking records all the time.
I agree sometimes we struggle to involve him in games but he won't score if he's dropping too deep or on the wing

Enjoyed the game. We re gonna improve. People must relax. Its not Fifa game when you destroy opponents twice a week all season long. And Inter been really trying yesterday. Games like this helps to build fitness like no other. Long term its been great experience for us.

We limited Inter to create little, saw somewhere xg been like 2,5 vs 0,5 in our favour, although its actually looks a bit too much of the difference compared to what I thought it would be.

And accusation about tired legs or old players is inaccurate. Inter hang on their dear life last 15 min. We were dominating Inter last 15 min like they probably would not get dominated whole season.

A well earned point for both teams and will not define the CL campaign in any way. Will give Pep food for thought if we face them again later in the competition as they have only one way to play against a team like us. Passing through them isn’t going to happen.

Inter reminded me of those well drilled Italian teams of the 90's watching Channel 4 live matches on a Sunday afternoon.

I'm blaming the kit.

A reasonable result against a top team. Eeees football as Bobby Manc would say.
Even with Rodri on the pitch we seemed to lose that bit of coherence and shape that Kova has given us so far this season.
Most disappointing thing was the kit.
Most encouraging was that they didn’t score from some very good breakaway chances.

Can't remember them... I was usually fast asleep on the sofa after 10 minutes of the programme zzzzzzzz

Fuck that kit off

It's a great kit

Those crosses and take ons from Doku is what you would expect from anyone on the wings, Jack didn't do that today

Jack is a right footed player playing on the left, Doku is a right footed player who was playing on the right. To expect Jack to run down the wing and cross is unfair. Jack was no better or worse than most players last night. It was a tough game. IMHO in games like that we should go with two traditional wingers set up, not using one or two inverted. Having to cut in wastes time and allows teams to regroup and sit in.

Those three were clear cut, foden didn’t middle another, there were 3-4 that didn’t quite fall for us around the box where players put them wide and a number of bobbles in the box that they defended well. They had one decent chance that the lad put over. A fair result would have been a City victory by a couple of goals.

I'm not an Xg disciple but it looks like it would support your assertion.

They could have scored first so that could have been significant but we eventually got a pretty firm grip on the game and should have scored.

Neither team actually manged to score so I'm not going to claim the result was unfair.
