Lyon CL QF Post-Match Thread

[BurnCK]

Well apart from UEFA getting their own back and screwing us for their second, that was definitely Peps fault. Always fucking with the formation when it's not needed. We were awful first half. If we'd have played our normal game from the start we would have stood a better chance.

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Not gonna hang Sterling for this, our best player by a country mile. All on Pep. Having Rodri and Gundo on the midfield together and KDB as a RW was a disaster waiting to happen. Totally deserved, as soon as we equalised, we lost control again.

90% of City fans on the pre-match thread were unhappy with the starting line up so maybe we knew what was coming. This one is most definitely on Peo. In my opinion his ego dictates that he has to do something different in these games so we can all bow down before his genius. Trouble is, when it doesn’t work he ends up looking like a bit of a dick.

So Pep thought Lyon’s system was bette than the system we’ve been playing for about 3 years?
Unbelievable- not even close to pulling it off

Terrible by Pep. Why didn’t he throw on Bernardo and Phil? He had nothing to lose.

I simply don’t understand why he would only use two of the five available subs.

Too defensive and showed lyon too much respect with the lineup

 

[Hercules]

I remember saying this last year that our loss to Tottenham and this time to Lyon lies on the shoulders of Pep. Waste of freaking money and time.

No need to change tactics the way Pep did tonight. I get it in the 1st Real game but not vs. Lyon.

 

[deano ou812]

CAS ruling going for us has fucked up peps get out,so tonight was perfect to put his case forward to question his managerial stay,all the talk of extending was pressure on him he wants to see out this next season and go ..

 

[WNRH]

Got away with it in Madrid.

Got what we deserved tonight.

Let’s just throw another £300m at it,
