Monaco post match

Seems easy to say now, but we created so many chances that night that even if Falcao would have scored the penalty to make it 3-1 I'm convinced we'd have come back into the game.

We were ridiculously good as an attacking unit. Though Monaco's shape helped us in that regard and vice versa.

Yeah, could have happenned, you show amazing team spirit last night to overcome a deficit twice.
But would have been another game with a 2-goals lead, probably would have substitute Mbappe for Moutinho to bring someone else on the midfield, when you made your law. Not sure you would have walked away with a win if it was 3/1.

But that was a key moment of the game anyway.
 
Firstly, welcome to the forums, its always nice to get an opposing fans views on things.

That said, please make yourself aware of our code of conduct and remember that you are visiting a City site where views will naturally be biased towards our own club.

By all means put your point of view across but please try to do so without resorting to being contrary because you will just come across as a wum or troll and your welcome will be short lived.

BTW, you have some side there, especially going forwards.

That might be true in general terms, but as regards the Aguero incident it's not even debatable. Even Camelgob said it was a blatant penalty! Monsieur French Guy needs to be shown la porte IMO. He's taking the piss

It was very much a generalisation mate and my second post to him, telling him to drop the penalty discussion tells you everything.

it was the most nailed on penalty and red card you will ever see on a football pitch and the ref cheated, end of.

I am not sure he cheated or if he bottled it big style because it was so early in the game. What ever he got it very wrong.
 
Sure it's been covered already but haven't gone back through the post in detail. Having looked at the "pen" on Aguero time after time, I don't actually think it was although plenty have been given. If you slow it down, Aguero actually goes over the keeper and makes contact rather than the other way round. That said, how the ref could notice this at full speed beggers belief.

Is the CL different to the PL? That wouldn't have been a red in the PL. Foul and pen for sure.

As the keeper was clearly trying to play the ball, possibly even touched it. He'd have been safe in the Prem.
 
MY last post about it I promise, but Mr. Derrien, a great european ref, got a twitter account where he discuss about arguably fouls, and he also said that it was not a penalty for Aguero. Lizzarazu (the other consultant for this media) said it was a penalty. Just bring up something to proof i'm not the only one to think that way:





@schfc6 : Yes he tuched it a bit. Lightly, but he tuched it. Since this summer new rules, it wouldn't have been a red anyway, no chance about it. You must do a "deliberate foul". Just like Otamendi did :p

Most City fans seem to think it was a clear penalty. I think it was arguable. The goalkeeper hit Aguero's shins but he also got the ball first. If a defender tackles a forward but hits the attacker then that is a foul. Seems to be a different rule for goalkeepers
 
It is worth watching Guardiola's post match press conference for his reaction to allegations that City defended poorly.

We play as a team. If we choose to play offensive football then our defenders have so much ground to defend. We can all defend the penalty area which is what a lot of teams do when they go away from home. is that argument going to sink in with some people? They see City concede goals and they think it;s because the defenders are no good. No it's because of the way we play as a team. The decisions Guardiola makes.

Your right my mindset is we will push up to the half way line in every game we play wont matter what team it is!
Pep did say our defenders have a lot of space to defend so its difficult! Media cant get it in there thick bias heads though
