Paris Saint-Germain (A) - CL SF | Post-Match Thread

Buzzing. Really enjoyed that second-half.

PSG are very limited at creating breaks when they are pressed as they played with two DMs. Surely our game plan for the second leg. They really do lose their heads when they concede. Great to see.

Yeah, especially that Rodri run form the right where NO ONE had made a run in the box was very disappointing. But it's ok. :)

it was Kev who was most guilty there, just stood and watched

Anyone on the matchday thread who were calling pep out for "bottling it again", calling out the players for "bottling it again" calling for wholesale changes with mahrez and rodri getting hauled off, saying kev didn't look up to it. HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM FUCKING APPLES!

They bottled it AGAIN.

The same posters who've bottled it every week for the last four months, bottled it AGAIN.

How many times do they need to see it happen? Plenty of teams make good starts, some claw their way into an actual game with us, but no one lives with us for 90 minutes.

But the same posters keep bottling it week after week. It's so obvious and predictable. It starts at 15 minutes. No matter what's going on. FIFTEEN MINUTES IS ALL THEY CAN DO BEFORE THEY BOTTLE IT.

They've had dozens of games to figure out what's going on. What's going to happen. Hundreds of posters telling them. But nothing will stop them from dumping all their fear in one continuous stream.

THIRTY WINS IN FOUR MONTHS AND YOU CANT STOP FLAPPING?

DOZENS OF TEAMS ROLLED OVER, MIDFIELDS SCHOOLED, EXHAUSTED, STAR PLAYERS SUBBED FOR LOSING THE PLOT.

Because they can't keep up with us.

It takes time to do this to an opponent. When will people learn? It's a 90 minute game. It takes us up to 30 minutes to get them swinging and playing their game - and then the schooling begins, and it doesn't let up until the end, because it takes time to break someone down, and it often takes more time still to then score the goals you've earned.

That's what City are doing, have done, week in, week out, with almost total success - for MONTHS now.

But the same people still bottle it, after 10, 15 minutes. The first missed chance, the first poor pass, the first little patch an opponent has any success.

The team don't bottle it - the matchday moaners do. Week after week. What will it take for some people to grow a pair, to do ANYTHING different? Sometimes I think, we're leeching off this team. The best team in the world. Show them some respect. They have balls bigger than you can understand. If you can't keep up with their adventures, despite them winning time after time, just try SOMETHING different. ANYTHING. Make it to half time without writing the team off. Count to ten before posting something you know is negative. Look, I get scared too. I can't always cope. Here's what I learned, a long time ago - shutting up is always an option.

Excellent result and much improved 2nd half. Didn't really create too many chances but neither did they.

After the sending off, I would have put Jesus on for KDB (on a yellow and knackered) and tried for the 3rd. I think it was there for us.

Anyway very, very happy with that.

I think we actually created a good 2 or 3 clear chances. Phil hit 2 of them straight at the keeper, but my god, that run to make the second was breathtaking!
 
Fantastic result after that ominous first half. Almost a bit of a letdown not getting a third, but if City had conceded those 2 goals PSG did tonight this place would have been in meltdown, so maybe it's fair to temper any slight feelings of what might have been.

Great performance 2nd half and a fully deserved lead.
