Match Thread | Basel vs Manchester City (13/02/18)

Can't believe United lost to this lot, they're pretty awful. Completely lost their shit when we scored.

Sad to say it but Vinnie needs to be put out to pasture, his indecisiveness on the ball stands out like a sore thumb. Delph looking very rusty as well, on his heels half the time. Despite being pretty sloppy we've absolutely destroyed them, Bernardo is giving them fits by simply staying wide, while Edersons charges seem to scare the shit out of all their attackers.

This is Man City up three goals in the first (away) leg in the knockout rounds in Europe at the half.

Let that sink in.

Shame the Spurs game wasn't next week. Looks like an incredible game.

They are pretty bad . We could have 5 if we stayed sharp in first 10 mins of 2nd half. Then rest KDB ,& Fern.

3-0 up, game completely under control, some fantastic goals....

...and I log on, read the last few pages and I see people saying we're not playing well and we're sloppy. :/

Amazing score but a bit sloppy with the passing. We should finish this tie tonight.

Rags in the last 8 it is then.

Foden on please for Kev. Not sure we have many bench options for Kun or Ferny to get a rest. Maybe Dani for Ferny? Not sure I'd want to risk Sane or David coming on if they've only just started training again. Plus we would be wise to keep a sub in reserve in case Vinnie (or anyone else) goes down

Agreed.

De Schlong and Bacon should be fully rested to destroy arse at Wembley.
