FOC

Those were the days my friend.

 

[MellowJoe]

A nice early 2nd please

 

[city warrior]

Brilliant half. Great idea having Walker as winger and Mahrez inside. Dias just makes any defense 10 times better. They'll get tired and more desperate and we will hit them then

 

[oldius]

Excellent performance so far. Grealish and Bernardo have both been both super but everyone looks on it.

Good performance so far. A little too hesitant to play the ball forwards at times, but in total control. It’s like there are two Bernardo Silvas out there.

It has to be said Leipzig look a very ordinary side. No better than any of the bottom half Prem teams we’ve played recently in Wolves, Villa and Forest.

Good to hear the Blues in good voice, can hear them loud and proud over Leipzig’s constant boring dirge.

 

[David Kloppesh]

Jackie boy’s on fire

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Masterful performance that, not at our purring best, but you go away in the CL and control the game to the point where some of their players start walking & you know you’re controlling it, KW excellent & JG has been quality, fully expect them to throw the kitchen sink second half & big Erl will run riot

 

[Blueknows]

I know it's irrelevant but how can a shot.on target count if its offside ? But its.rag central so no suprise

 

[blue whippet]

Good, controlled first half, a second goal would have been nice. Walker and Grealish very good, Bernardo masterful. Defence has been solid but not been put under much pressure. If we get a quick goal second half I'll feel more comfortable.

 

[Aba452]

My Brazilian Comms are waxing lyrical about us....I think! Great football from us that half, really enjoyed it.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Watch the Sporting game last season ..

Now, that was a Masterclass.

 

[Norbert D]

Haaland doesn’t look right to me and hasn’t since the restart after the WC. That header across goal from Rodri would have been a simple nod in earlier in the season, his confidence looks a bit gone.

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

Excellent half from City.
My only complaint is the coverage from the TV provider. They seem to be 3 seconds behind in the commentary and some of the camera angles are shite. quick free kicks not available to the viewer because the director has missed it. Does anyone agree?

 

[footballmanager]

ill take another dominating boring half with a goal

 

[SiMCFC]

Very good away performance, said it last night though, I do wish we could just try the odd dinked ball over the top for Erling to run onto, he's one of the best in the World at receiving that sort of ball and slotting it. Real Madrid do it with Benzema all the time to mix things up.

 

[Blue Mist]

Whose this new forward we've got And, Keown keeps mentioning him Hal And

 

[Saddleworth2]

Great first half. Total control. Hopefully a second early on in second half then just continue to strangle them.

 

[stan bowles]

Almost perfect away peformance in UCL. JUst a goal or two more to make it 10/10.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Good but need to be better, game should be won by now with that dominance. completely dominated but we've barely had a chance, even the goal came from their mistake. Need to be quicker in the final third and maybe look forward for a pass before looking back once in a while, whole attack behind Haaland are guilty of that.

 

[Kippax77]

I think Pep wants us 2 clear goals up before involving Erling
