I wouldn't so readily dismiss a 4-1 away win in the Nou Camp in a CL last 16 tie.
With players like Mbappe, Neymar and di Maria they can turn a tie on its head in 5 minutes. There's justifiable confidence and there is bravado.

The positive thing about last night (other than the result obviously!) was that we worked out how to play them after what had been an excellent start by them.
By the end they were a quivering wreck. We totally schooled them second half.
We know how to hurt them in the second leg and they know that now.
They will be very very worried about how things went last night and what might happen to them n the next game.
Psychologically we have got them where we want them.
The 2-1 advantage is fantastic but not enough to make us complacent so I expect us to carry on from where we left second half.
Can’t wait.

I wouldn't so readily dismiss the significant tactical changes made by Barcelona across two legs as an indicator of things either, especially considering how well our 1st leg has just gone as far as restricting those players is concerned. There's justifiable anxiety and there is misery.I wouldn't so readily dismiss a 4-1 away win in the Nou Camp in a CL last 16 tie.

Our side played more or less to its maximum in the 2nd half but we didn't create many opportunities through open play. It was the same against Spurs in the League Cup FInal. The same against Chelsea in the semi-final. This is a trait of City this season. In previous seasons we scored around 100 league goals a season. We're down significantly on that his season. I'd be happier still if this City win didn't owe a little bit to the footballing Gods.
What a shit post.

Fuck me. One of those "logs into Bluemoon - logs out of Bluemoon" moments.
What a weird thread and a weird bunch of posts.

I think you're mistaking Marvin's opinion as being the consensus on here.Fuck me. One of those "logs into Bluemoon - logs out of Bluemoon" moments.

On a lighter note, how good was it to see a red card being given without any dramas?
If that's in the league, it's talked about for 1/2 minutes, the ref is then invited over to go and watch the same replay 7/8 times then gives a red anyway because he's being told what to look for.
None of that last night - 30 second chat, 'yeah it's a stonewall red, send him off'. Gone inside a minute of the foul being given.

You can hardly call missing one game coming back from injury. I though collectively we were poor in the first half and could have been further behind at the break. But the second half told a different story and we moved up multiple gears. Interestingly last night was another away game in Europe that we have come back to win after falling behind. Shows the fighting spirit of the lads and this surely must be as good a chance as we will ever get to win this competition."Pep fixed it, moving everybody 5-10 m higher up the pitch" ??
Pep moved the whole team further up the pitch 5-10m which allowed us to play the way we have all season playing a high line, Kev Gundo Bernie really started to take hold.
1st half I thought Kev was completely out of rhythm, looked unfit and slow if you were referring to previous posts, the semi is not the place to get back up to speed, however the change at half time seemed sort him out.
Kev is our best player a-lot to do with his rhythm, coming back from injury he needs a few games like Kun.
What an awful 1st half, thankfully the defence brought their A game. Second half Pep sent out a different team, PSG didn’t know what hit them, we increased the tempo, got our passing game going to which they had no answer. Pep got it absolutely spot on, only half time in the tie and work still to be done, but we are so so close.
