Hart keeping us in this game.

Messi doing same pass 5 times already and we never stopped it.

Navas needs to stay wide as possible and give an outlet. Thing is if we somehow keep it one nil and score one with ten minutes to go they'll start to rattle

 

[Nascent Blues]

Are we employing a sort of football rope-a-dope?

 

[Matt the Giant]

Sorry, but why the hell is Yaya on the pitch? Seriously? What is his purpose this evening?

 

[mancity1]

At least we will crack the 1000 posts tonight.

Good start to the second half

I know. Wio and Grim are really going for it....

 

[Damocles]

On the plus side, Joe Hart is having a good game. And the weather looks nice.

 

[Carns]

Yaya looks so fucking heavy.

Some of the tackles might have been just a little tasty but six fouls and four bookings? 66% of all fouls carry a booking. I bet that's the highest percentage in any CL game this season!

I thought the game would pan out like this. You can't keep players like Messi, and Suarez quiet for ninety minutes.

We do not have the kind of player like Nige and GazBaz both of whom you could rely on to break down a majority of oppo possession. We also don't play the kind of game that travels far in CL terms.

yet again we have a wafer thin, poorly balanced squad.
