Be tempted to get Mahrez on for Bernardo

Too slow, Bernardo passing backwards till the end of time, can’t find haaland at all. Need a bit more incision. Foden or Mahrez pls

Mahrez is the master of passing backwards. Foden please.

I mean on paper perhaps. But Haaland's shots on targets were both pretty tame. Only Rodri's was really an effort you'd show on a highlights real. Whereas they've got a 'not a shot' where only a last ditch block from Dias stopped it going to Benzema for a simple tap in. They haven't created more than us, but it's not as one-sided as the stats suggest.

The post I replied to (that you've quoted) said that Madrid had had more chances than us. Which is a blatant lie.

I'm looking at the box scores and thought surely Carva-foul had a yellow: NOPE

 

[jollylescott]

I’m pretty confident we can turn this around. come on City!

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

1/4 of the game played. They needed something special, but we need to have a bit more confidence in the final third.

If Carvajal played for any other team he would not be on the pitch.
Because its Madrid the rules are different
Corruption at its best.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

My favourite was the free kick on the 18 yard and he fucking played on with no real advantage. Fuck off.
How the fuck is Carvajal not on a yellow. Why the fuck is Jack being admonished for being constantly fouled.

I'm getting big time nervous watching this game develop. Started so fine, but now after their goal, they also started with cynical foul play. Especially against Grelish which get no support from this ref. I hope Pep gets it back on track in second half...

 

[DMA's]

Come on city, big bollocks needed. You can do this
