ref counted 12 madrid players by including himself .

 

[OntarioBlue]

Bernardo and KDB switched positions

I hate how we always blame the ref. It's not the ref.

it's that we don't take our chances and we play at 1mph against a fast counter attacking team.

Pep always plays slower against the fast counter attacking teams as he always says if we attack fast they just come back at us even faster. It’s what he’s always said.

Behave yourself.....

I get that, I think they've been more dangerous on the counter and we've never really looked like scoring. Benzema couldve buried the Vicinuis cross that got by Walker early on and then mishit another ball in the box that led to a handball, those arent showing up on the stat sheet

Agree to disagree but imo they set up to frustrate and counter and are doing that well

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Be tempted to get Mahrez on for Bernardo

Agreed, it’s all on pep trusting him to track back, however, fancy him coming inside on this one and creating something

They had 4 against our 7 for their goal.

Just like Utd & spurs games this. They suck us in that we forget what to do with the ball. I’m really surprised we haven’t hit haaland much more & gone direct.

We are much the better team but tactics not helping us here. Need foden driving at them not Bernie going sideways tonight

The long ball to Haaland works. Need to play these counts at their own game.

 

[levets]

I’d like us to be a bit more dynamic and have a go at them, rather than keep the ball to contain them. We can beat them

 

[Blu1]

Get it out wide sooner city. We keep coming inside

 

[coolcity]

This is what happens when you miss chances. You allow the ref to get involved. Very naive, get the ball to Haaland. Only way to win is by scoring enough they can’t do shit about.

Come on city, man up.

Oh, please....they've had one shot and it went in. Apart from that it's been all City. Players miss chances because they're human, it's not because they're doing anything wrong.
