Wonder if Pep will change it at halftime.

Yes - give them a right bollockin' - I predict City will win this 2-0.
Should be much improved in Second half. !!!

Sane has looked meh so far. But he's very young and in a new country with a new team and new setup. I hope he get's a goal gets one off the chest.

Meanwhile, United continue to impress.

Real lack of creativity in midfield is the main problem.

If it ends in a draw will there be a replay? If so I'd rather Willy put a goal kick in his own net.

Kidding of course, the poor play is to be expected with this mix and match set of players. We have Navas playing as the main creative player, that about sums it up.

The best part about this beautiful disaster of a match is we're still going to win as long as we don't gift them a goal and Keli puts one away. Which he almost always does.

Since when did pellegrini manage a team in China? I've honestly only jut found this out now

I think he started about this time last year judging by the effort he put into managing us.

I know sane is a young lad in a new country and new team but he looks off the pace and not interested to me

Who's his agent?

Not a great half but very pleased with Aleix Garcia.

 

[NanaToure42]

No, I think we're stuck with orange.

Hah. Nicely done.

Very excited for the match after the line up was released. Missed the early parts of the game and could not really follow because of lag throughout, which is annoying but it is clear that it was more of an open game and a different type of performance. The pressing and other features of our play was not there in the first half and we could not take a strangle hold on the match. Navas looked to be playing more central (but everywhere along the front line) and Sane got that half chance in the box but also needs to impose himself on the match. As for the youngsters, nothing much to talk about but Garcia looks comfortable on the ball .

The backline is solid and experienced and with a bit of Pep talk, the players should come out fired up for the second half
