Totally dominated that 45 minutes.



A bit like saturday afternoon!

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 fans 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.

Nah, Leipzig beat Madrid, and were superior to them in Bernabeu(they lost by a goal at the 82th minute). They jave only lost once since October if I am not mistaken.

Riyad really seems to be in love with this competition. He's a huge player for us if we hope to go far this season.

True, he seems to save his best performances for the CL

Akanji has been solid... Dias effect

 

[Roachy]

Keep it up City.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Bernardo, take a bow…and grab done oxygen at half time!

Oh, and be careful with those close pirouette turns in the middle of the park. If someone reads that, they might pick your picket and we’ll have our pants down!

80% possession, 1-0, where have I seen this movie before?

Let’s get another goal and pass them off the park!

 

[Blueknows]

Quality half blues need to keep this tempo and shape for the rest of the season

 

[Chi-town blues]

walker , bernie and mahrez movement is causing them loads of problems.

 

[Irishblue93]

Need to get a 2nd, leipzig won't be this bad for 180 minutes

 

[willipp]

Superb half and total control. Need another goal and keep our concentration and finish the tie effectively tonight. No silly mistakes letting them back in.

 

[Gabriel]

Playing well. Haaland is barely in it so practically playing without a nine. Gundogan has to be careful as he’s the one that’s had his pocket picked a couple of times, but great energy and movement on show.

 

[Blue Til Death]

No idea why folk are so fixated on how many times Haaland touches the ball.. Who cares, no other strikers touches in world football are commented on, in the press or in here…!

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

That’s an immaculate half of football. Similar to Forest performance, we’ve got our swagger back.

This lot are no mugs but simply can’t get into the game.

Hopefully they are suitably tired and we can get another goal or two second half.

 

[Blue Mist]

Ref's waiting for us to do it... ;-)

Actually, joking aside, the ref has been largely anonymous. Breath of fresh air compared to those PiGMOL cnuts.

Also, notice the linesman flags straight away, before they get the ball (hint fucking hint PL)

 

[Deleted member 77198]

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

To be fair to Keown, he is n’all.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

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.

Its not Haaland, when he grabbed a hat trick against wolves I bet you weren't saying that

 

[Chi-town blues]

Totally dominated that 45 minutes.

ban him mods

 

[DruntBlunt]

This has got Forest written all over it. We need a second goal asap although it didn’t do the dippers any good yesterday:-)

Relax. Will end 1-4. Haaland twice.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

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.

Think he’s second guessing whats gonna happen & not playing on his instincts, possibly the bi-product of not receiving the ball when making the runs

 

[remember arthur mann]

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

He's been reading bluemoon.
