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

Not beyond the realms of possibility, from pitch side level. Just coming up with what he may have brought play back for. As it is from our view it was a diabolical decision.

Surely in that case he would've given them a free kick, rather than making us retake the throw in.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Its better to rest him since he have a yellow card and push Gundogan to fill the DM position

Do you have money on us losing 3-1? ;-)

Seeing as with that statement you've just called me and many others on here a moron, I guess it's fine for me to call you a twat.

But I wouldn't do that.

Call me what you like.

Pep's 3rd season, he knows by now that these types of refereeing performances against us in the CL are not coincidental.

Must be maddening for him given his previous clubs

Been to a UCL game at the Etihad? If there are people not booing you certainly wouldn't know.

I am in L3 East stand and nobody, but nobody boos around us. In fact most people are disgusted that we still do.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Wish I had your confidence, Jim. I agree we are not playing badly (aside from some defensive lapses), but I am just not sure we can overcome this ref’s officiating.

We’ve been overcoming them for years. Everything we’ve ever won in this era has been against the system.

And there in a nutshell is why Pep wont't win us the CL. Total shambles.

It's one thing to have 70% possession against most PL teams thay can't hurt you. But in the CL the higher level technically means they can.

Everyone goes on about Ronaldo and Modric but the reason Madrid won 3 on the bounce is they can defend.

Saw the same with Bayern under Pep.

And wtf Laporte is not a left back. And the midfield trio. Two old men and a slow one. Madness.

Fucking ridiculous comment

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

The ref is Shit, not biased. There were chances to yellow card Laporte and he didn't, he's also giving bag decisions to them hence the fans booing him. He's just shit tbh, too keen with the whistle

On this form we should win, few bad passes, not taking our chances, but Aguero looks on form.

 

[argyle]

We are in desperate need of a top defensive mid

Yep.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

This,there was one which even savage and darke were stumped over..

But then no more was said about it. Its like people look past the blatant farce of it all
