Match Thread | Man City vs B. Dortmund (06/04/21)

[MarsLlama]

Not vintage from us but then Champions League isn't about playing incredible football every night.

Looked sketchy at the back. Rodri and Ederson have both gotten away with uncharacteristic errors. I honestly think Zinchenko would be thriving in this game.

Think Dias has done a great job against Haaland for the most part, and Stones looked good too but the full-backs not been their usual selves, which is understandable given the pressure of the occasion.

The goal was excellent from all involved. The referee has been terrible. One more goal and a clean sheet would be a phenomenal, phenomenal result.

Should be 1-1. Given our history in this competition, I think we should take our lucky break and run with it. One had to go our way some time...

Did I accidently log onto a Dortmund fan forum? Who gives a toss if we've been fortunate? Everyone knows you need a huge slice of luck as well as being a good team to get anywhere in this competition.

Been a fairly close game luckily the ref seems to like us makes a change for champions league

Yes but not delusional

Its the JD and coke my friend..any decision against City is wrong

Well for once we got away with a big decision in a quarter final, we've been sloppy in possession need to do much better.

I’ll have what you’re smoking

I don’t think it’s a pen but if that was Bruno Fernandes the commentators would be saying that he’s kicked the player without making contact with the ball and it’s a pen

Feels like we're a bit startled and lucky to be ahead. I don't know what it is with this club and the CL so far - it's as if they feel as if they don't belong to be there with the best in Europe.

Hoping for an improved second half where we take it to them and play our normal game.

Mahrez superb for our goal.
Take a bow son.

this city squad and guardiola have a cl mental block. no other explanation for the fear and overthinking going on out there, not playing their game at all, pep tinkering too much, being conservative against dorrmund at home...

Nice change to be able to use the word "lucky" without an "un" before it.
