Match Thread | Sporting CP vs Man City (15/02/22)

[Mayor West]

Get delap on!

 

[BrianW]

Not bad this team.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Piece of cake

 

[Dax777]

The Benfica old boys are really up for this.

That extra motivation.

 

[PaleBlue]

They're one of those sides that plays nice football but is hopeless in both boxes though. We've scored four, but have we actually been in their box much more than those four times?

Who cares? Not me....

 

[jimharri]

Imagine the buzz for Bernardo if he got the hat trick!

 

[buckshot]

5-0 up at ht away at Burnley in the Adebayor/Bellamy era, a PL joint record. And then the game was nearly abandoned due to fog

I should have specified in Europe.

 

[knuckles]

Really looking forward to fake and camel now, its gonna be good, lots of great and positive things to come from them!

 

[I'm Blue]

You know it's going well when no **** on here is whinging.

I was gonna mention Bernardo’s scuffed first ; )

 

[borassic]

Ruthless

 

[Nascent Blues]

I've never seen anything like that. An absolute masterclass.

Our movement off the ball is astonishing. A privilidge to watch.

It left me cold...

 

[oddfellows]

Pure fucking class we are spoilt

 

[Blue Llama]

Lump on a Cancelo booking 2nd half. Everything you have! I’d be frustrated if he’s not asked to get one, especially since we’re short of full backs. Need to get his ban out of the way v Sporting and not risk it coming in the Quarters.

That's how you end up out for more than one game

 

[Josh_D]

Emotional damage for those on BT…

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Wow! Just WOW!

 

[domalino]

Get delap on!

Seriously though, get Delap on. Rest Mahrez for Saturday, get Sterling on the right, let Bernie go for his hattrick against Benfica's rivals and lets see the kid get 30 minutes.

 

[TheKippaxM14Blue]

I think it just goes show why teams park the bus. This is what happens when you open up

I thought Leeds and these have looked good crazy as it sounds. They almost make it man for man when they win the ball back up top.

The more this type of beating happens the less likely anyone turns up to beat us actually playing football.

I will say they have been the first team in ages to press Eddy. That's suicide for them

 

[Dax777]

Bizarre that I think we were a bit sloppy and not at our best?
That finish from Bernardo was a thing of beauty.
Hoping we keep going, we could smash these for 7 or 8. That will make some take notice.

Nah! Relax, get some subs on and cruise control. We got a game at the weekend.

 

[kun]

Fantastic half. Men against boys. Bernardo has a fire lit under his arse.

Hopefully we can get 2 or 3 more in the second half and truly kill off the tie.

 

[bluke]

What's Portuguese for "disrespectful" ?

Not good at languages but I know for sure that "Bruno Fernandes" can be loosely translated in English as "despicable ****"
