Monchengladbach post match (top of the group)

[colbee59]

Was at the game, just watched the game again didn't realise how dominant we were in the second half. New we were the better side but we totally dominated it.

Complete Jekyll and Hyde performance, can't believe that

Sums up the season so far. Sometimes msrvellous, other times abysmal. No middle ground. At least the team isn't trying to bore us to death .... unlike a certain set of Trafford swamp rats.

Agreed -- we were rampant and for a half hour it reminded me of the all-out attack in the 2H v. West Ham with nothing to show for it. But we came good, oh so good. And I'm a bit surprised about the reaction to the first half -- we scored, we had chances, got some corners and while the defending was ragged I thought their 2nd goal was fortuitous the way it careened directly to them off (I think) Otamendi. Really entertaining all the way through and made magical with Sevilla winning and Utd barfing.

We are a strange team atm but I prefer to watch us outscoring people to defending like rags and getting scrappy 1-0 wins or draws. The defence seriously needs to sort itself, though. The space Monchengladbach got for their first goal was jaw dropping. They would have had time for a picnic and still tucked that one away.

The first truly great CL night for me, with the goals flying in by City, Wolfsburg and Seville within a few minutes. The atmosphere lifted big time in the stadium, whixh made it all the more enjoyable.

Encouraging.

Just watched it again. What a fantastic game it was. Have to say even at half time and we were losing I thought it was entertaining. Great advert for football.

I'm not long home but caught the replay. I thought it was a great football match, without much great defending, the first half BMG were better, though we had plenty of bright moments too, but conceded 2 poor goals. 2nd half we pushed them back, and dominated everything, possibly could have scored 5 or 6 in the end, not bad considering they beat Bayern on Saturday. I thought Kolarov, Delph, and Fernandhino were excellent, Sterling great and awful in about equal measure, but he thinks too much, when he doesn't think, he provides great passes and goals, and involved in all 4 tonight. I also thought Yaya had a good game, not his normal thrusting game, but he was disciplined, and used the ball well, he still makes us tick, especially when Silva is playing, he looked fitter tonight too.

Overall a great night, and I had a feeling it might be.

Not everyone is in the "we're doomed" camp. Hopefully this attitude won't transmit to the players, but I won't hold my breath as the groans will no doubt start with Bony's first poor touch, its time people got behind the team and manager, who knows it might even work.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to a good day, leaving about 11am, going out for a nice meal pre match with my son, then supporting the team, hopefully to be rewarded with a win, and if we're lucky top of the group.

And if it goes tits up, at least you'd have had a nicel meal with good company :)
I like you're attitude to the game.

Well it didn't go tits up, and I had a great meal out with my lad and his Arsenal mate, who also thoroughly enjoyed the game. He celebrated our goals, and seemed even more happy with the result in Germany.

Sometimes a positive attitude, makes for a positive outcome, and even the traffic gods were on my side today. Not a single issue in the 3 hour car journeys each way, a first this season.

Posted by me in the pre-match thread:

It's time for City to suck it up and realize that they're not going to win the group. Rest some players for Swansea.

I am stupid.
