You're correct.PSG don't get stretched in their domestic league and our football in the second half was just too much for them.Paris ran themselves into the ground in the first half and were knackered.. Brilliant second performance at we could have had 4.. well done lads and proud to be a Blue
Even BT were unbiased tonight for a refreshing change
He probably said- "Hi I'm Phil Foden and I'm gonna win the ballon d'Or without being a cheating show pony" : )I wonder what Foden and that diving clown were talking about at the end?
3 yellows needed for a ban, matters more in mini league phase and the last 16 game. That's how I read the rules anyway.What are the yellow card rules, kev and cancelo both carded, if they get one next game would they miss the final if we make it?
Nah, just fortunate.Did Mahrez anticipate a gap in the wall? I wonder if some analysis of PSG defending free kicks revealed an opportunity.
Genuinely I have him down for player of the year, He has been the most consistent and always one you would put down and the team sheet straight away.As a collective, we should all stop calling him now. He has been brilliant
Well said. Anyone that thinks that was a lucky goal is a fucking simpleton.Lots of talk about the free kick finding a lucky hole and the keeper not getting down to it. What this overlooks is the cleverness of Mahrez: every single person in that stadium expected KDB to hit that. Mahrez caught everyone by surprise and that’s why the wall jumped weirdly and the keeper flqpped.
you havent watched much of him, i seeRespect to Mbappe, gets tackled and gets up and just gets on with it, no drama.
Neymar on the other hand ...
i cant tell you right now exactly what changed but the way city press changed about thirty minutes in. Also, kevin stopped playing with his back to their goal in the second half, foden joined him in the middle and the fullbacks started to overlap. city kind played in a very fluid 3-5-2 in the second half, as i predicted pep might do in the pre matchI am not sure it was fitness. City dominated from the 46th minute. I think it was more a mentality thing. Their goal rocked us for 20 mins. And then we rocked them. I thought they'd come back into it at 1-1 but they didn't /couldn't.
It was. But the irony was we were fouled at least half a dozen times in the second half without being awarded a free kick. The first time we finally get one, we score.It was a poor free-kick. A moment of real luck.
Yes mentality for sure Marvin. This team was never rattled tonight but how many times this season have we seen Kev and Bernie still pressing in the 85th minute. Surely that means we have built up a level of endurance that will allow us to keep going and get better as the game progresses and the opposition tires. If (huge if ) we do end up getting through this I think Id rather play Real Madrid than Chelsea.I am not sure it was fitness. City dominated from the 46th minute. I think it was more a mentality thing. Their goal rocked us for 20 mins. And then we rocked them. I thought they'd come back into it at 1-1 but they didn't /couldn't.
I told my dog that Mahrez was going to knock it in as well. Looked at me like a twat when I gave him a knowing wink and shake of a celebratory fistI predicted in the pub that Mahrez would hit it.
Knew you’d search for a negative. I bet you’re absolutely fuming you rag twat.

Yes, straight red = 1 match ban.So IG is out for PSG.
Might pick the games he puts the extra into but what world class footballer has not done that?Genuinely I have him down for player of the year, He has been the most consistent and always one you would put down and the team sheet straight away.
He always showed glimpses but not enough, Now being a constant starter he has been sublime to watch.
Did they actually have any clear cut chances? They were on top and looked more dangerous but we were still well in the game.
