Strongly, I am ok with that shirt, but not the performance. Although I don't get it we had to have it on in a home game. We just continued where we left last season, another mediocre home performance against a stronger team that can defend and can counterattack. Stems a lot from Pep's obsession with having Haaland in anchored to three square yards and barely moving. I am sick hearing that bullshit how even when not scoring he is dragging people out of their positions. I just saw enough of him in this type of games that I dream of Pep doing false nine and having him on the bench. Our best moments that came in the second half were quick passes on the box line and inside the box.

The shirts shit

Foden has to score that it was the best chance

Silva has to score that in the first half it was the second best chance

Jack was good

Rodri looked unfit, understandably

There’s plenty of ways to try and win a football match. They sat in (as 99% of teams do against us, as Arsenal will on Sunday also), but have bags of technical quality. Proper side, will comfortably finish in the top 8 with us.
 
A performance as insipid as that bloody awful kit. We moved the ball forward far too slowly, that's when we did go forward rather than to the side. There is also a marked reluctance to actually shoot when the opportunity ariises and elect for a pass instead.
They defended very well in great numbers but they only had to jog back in order to get everyone back as we crept forward. Luckily for us they were crap at shooting.
A disappointing result with a couple of tough away games to come.
 
The ref's positioning was awful. Got in the way of many attacks.
His decisions weren't much better either!
 
That may well be the most disciplined and savvy defence that's played at the Etihad in years. Anybody not giving them credit needs to take the sky blue specs off. We needed to be sharper into the tackle, sharper in our passes, just generally more up for it, for sure. But it's not only on us. They were very fast in transitioning, precise in their passing, often one touch (us almost never!) to get the ball upfield as fast as possible. The very opposite of us in fact. They could have won it — Mykitaryan (or however you spell his name) should have put that ball in the net, from that range, rather than blasting it over the bar. Their defence was completely caught out once, and once only — perfect ball onto Gundo's head. He really should have done better on that. Otherwise they had our number. A few half chances. Phil could have done better.
Nothing disastrous. I'll take it for the time being. That was one of the best teams in the competition, in my view.

No wonder the Italian League can't pull a decent sponsor. Who wants to watch that kind of shit football. Only one side interested in really trying to win a game makes for a poor watch.
Standby for some more of the same on Sunday from Lego head and the insufferables.
If we were bang at it mid season we beat them 2 or 3. Gundo doesn't normally miss those and neither does Foden.
Not the end of the world but thank fuck we don't have to play the tedious cunts again.

You found inter boring, really?

He didn't like giving fouls to our players in the final 3rd. Nailed on yellow card just ignored for a foul on Jack.
He had a 3/10 performance.

Steady the fuck on!!
I can admire that type of 'safety in numbers' style when I am not the one supporting them, and only have to watch that 'football paint' dry a few times per season, but I don't want my team to play it.
Careful now what you wish for!!

Ha, you might be right but it was a proper tactical masterclass tonight. Could not help but admire it.
 
Re. the kit. When I saw it on the OS, I admit I actually thought it looked quite cool. Probably influenced by Pep and the players modelling it. That seemed uber cool on a screen.
Out on the pitch it is, quite simply, an abortion.
Noel Gallagher really needs to rein in his ‘contributions’ to the club. Stay in the stands and shout us on, mate. Oh and play your guitar and sing. You're good at that.
