Match Thread | FC Copenhagen vs Man City (11/10/22)

Perhaps I am being harsh, but I reckon we look better with 10 men and no Mahrez.

We are keeping the ball, but not really threatening at all.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Hope Pep resists the temptation to bring on the big man. Want him wrapped in cotton wool so we can hopefully annihilate the Scouse vermin

Haaland on pens for me now. Gotta be.

 

[WestGorton]

Poor Alvarez, it's not that many opportunities that he's had as a starter, and now that he has that chance he is getting no service whatsoever.

Also his great shot was saved by the brilliant keeper. I actually thought the penalty save was brilliant too.

He has been poor since that good save early on tbf

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

We have obvious wiggle room, no need to over exert and just manage it out, even if ugly!

 

[PragueBlue]

Weird first half dominated by VAR. Daft decision to rule out Rodri's goal and a very predictable penalty from Mahrez stopped us being pretty much home and dry. Poor defending from Gomez has made this more difficult than it should have been,

I think we need Bernardo's energy and wouldn't be surprised to see him come on shortly. Alvarez hasn't really offered much so could also potentially see Haaland come on too.

Despite being down to 10, we should still win this if we play to our strengths.

Ffs

Thanks very much for your considered input.

Funny how yer expectations within a game of football can go bollocks up - I thought tonight would be a pretty fair repetition of last week!

That’s why I’m keeping my powder dry for Sunday lot of people think it’s done and dusted Dave

 

[moomba]

Well we can beg to differ
Doesnt have to be intentional hand ball

It does now.

 

[Kippax77]

Please tell me Walton isn't on

 

[heslops barnet]

Hope Pep tells Mahrez that he subbed him because he’s shit and not because of Gomez red card….

 

[Phoenix900000]

Still think we will win this

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Great. We've got to half time without conceding. Pep will get them sorted in these fifteen minutes. I still believe we'll win this. But it ain't gonna be no 5-0, folks. To either side.

Copenhagen on present form would need ten or fifteen matches to score five.

Haaland on pens for me now. Gotta be.

What even when he’s sat on the bench ?

 

[city warrior]

By the way their GK is brilliant. He had a great game at Etihad and is brilliant today again. Like their team, they are intense

 

[BlueHammer85]

It’s not corrupt mate it’s just wank

It is , but in my honest opinion it’s still better than refs making blind decisions and guessing and if we scraped VAR I think we’d realise just how bad the officials really are coping with the speed of the modern game

[LongsightM13]

He's out of form at the moment but you can't seriously be blaming him for the VAR handball nonsense.

Its a fact whether we like it or not

Just to confuse matters Jude has a younger brother (Jobe) who is also 17.
Ripley's "Believe it or not"

so its just cloning and the dippers want to spunk another £80m on what effectively is footballs Dolly the Sheep? Bring it on.
