Permission to speak Mods 'They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring' .
They lost it didn't they, great to see, really had them rattled. They won't be up for it at The Etihad.

KDB solved our crossing conundrum today. When there are no attackers in the box, score your crosses.

Don’t buy the narrative that we should have taken advantage of the extra man by scoring another goal. Would have been nice but it did allow us to see out the last ten minutes more comfortably so we did gain from it.
Think we improved when cancelo went off. Just doesn’t seem to be coming off for him at the moment. Understand logic that he is faster in defending.
Plenty still to play for against this team of divers.

 

[SidJames]

Very disappointed that we didn't try and score more goals given the man advantage. Zinchenko for Cancelo made the difference.

I think we were worried about being dicked on the counter by Mpappe,Neymar even with 10

As fans sure we want 3.

You fuck up and its 2-2.

Now 2nd leg we can play with the hand break off.

Absolute masterclass.

Best City performance I have seen under Pep (The second half). It's genius. We bum fucked them in the second half.

Mahrez was phononemial!

YEEEEEESSSSSSSSS

I felt the same but also kept thinking wouldn't be unlike us having the game under control yo chase it and concede on a counter.

Exactly. With the threat they had it would have been ridiculous to chase it. What made us successful in the second was the process of slow build up, not sure why we would move away from that approach.

So glad gundo is ok too. That was an ankle breaker

 

[Gumzy97]

Our Defence is world class.

PSG were spent after 30 mins. We were out on our feet after about 90 mins . That's a huge gap.

Composure came back as PSG sat back from the very first moment of the second half due to their tiredness. The players could sense that they'd busted their guts shortly after getting ahead after a set piece that we should have defended better .
They will go all out next game as they've no option. That opens the spaces for us to exploit. But expect us to spread the play back and forth and out wide and tire them again and again . Pep will play same way . I expect Stirling at some point to get some game time.

What a win .
