Match Thread | Hoffenheim vs Manchester City (02/10/18)

[nmc]

We've been poor at the back and in midfield and just decent going forward.

The referee has been a shambles though, Hoffenheim seem to be getting the rub of the green on everything. Not surprised that we've lost every game he's been in charge of.

Let’s be honest the officiating in the UCL is bent to fuck. Makes a mockery of the competition. The decision to pull the throw in back tonight when Sane was in is not untypical of the bias we see week in week out.

We all know that Pep will not make changes at h.t

Can anyone explain why the ref had us retake the throw in earlier,silva to sane which led to ref and pep having words,couldn’t have been for not taken from right spot ..

It is not the first time that Pep sees his team going behind in the first minute in Hoffenheim. In August 2015 it was Volland who shot the 1:0 for Hoffenheim, Müller equalized later and Lewy scored the winner.

Hoffenheim isn't kicking players that much as they usually do against us. Probably because it is the Champions League. The last match cost us Coman until 2019...

Ilkay has been Hoffenheim’s best player in the first half.

Give the ref some credit, please. ;-)

Funny how the rules of the game are implemented(or not) in the champions league. Depending on which team is being officiated, yes we haven’t been great but this is bent as fuck. Really don’t know why we bother, blues paying top whack just to watch us get fucked over every season. Call the cnuts out, and leave them to their old boys club.

As soon as Fernandinho is under pressure he makes a mistake...No place in champions league with that kind of defending like we did in the first 45 seconds, we have to win that game or we are under immense pressure to get through our group

lol

 

[Tevez City]

Fernandinho & Sterling off, Bernardo & Mahrez in.

I have never seen a matchday thread where people don't talk about bent referees. Every referee seems bent in here.Lol.

Every UCL ref, sure.
