We’re better than them. We just need to be more aggressive in the final third and keep calm in the face of some pretty rough treatment.

Being a goal behind before the game at our place wouldn’t be a disaster.

Haaland needs to step it up in the second half.

The supply has been cut off

 

[Theengelbert]

Plenty of goals will still be scored in the next tie and a half. Only a quarter of the way thru, come on city

 

[Don Karleone]

No it wasn't. We should have been in front before they scored . Need to up the tempo.

That's the spirit might as well not even watch the 2nd half

We've played well. I'm not disputing that. When the ref let's them do what they want all game, what is the point?

 

[wolviedinho]

Would love Phill on in behind the big man so he can drive at them a bit

Phil didn’t look too good last game. Lot of check backs and not taking on his man.

 

[vicblueman]

This ref is a disgrace ,must of got a brown envelope in his dressing room before the game .
No protection being given to city players .

 

[youngbob]

He has improved drastically this Season.

Still I think he fails to deliver much in big games.

he literally stands on the touchline.

Has scored against United, Arsenal, and Liverpool this season.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Need to get hold of the ball again now, the chances will come.

Agreed, however an obvious plan to break up our rhythm from Madrid 30 mins on, we need to keep our heads as the home
Leg was always the key; still think we’ll grab one here as they will be skirting the line with more tactical fouls!

 

[01cravend]

Jack's been brilliant in league second half this season, now he's got start contributing some goal involvements in this competition though. Can't have him and Bernie playing backwards at this stage and expect to create much. Need Phil or Mahrez on

 

[The Nature Boy]

This ref is absolutely fucking awful, he didn’t even give a foul let alone a card for a blatant shove through the back on Grealish.

Constant fouls, Carvahal has been fouling constantly, no yellow.

Twat

 

[MadchesterCity]

Ref is a fucking ****

You can say that again
