Istanbul Istanbul we are coming, we are coming at the end of may

Chicks, hatch, count...

let’s do a pro job next week and I’ll be buzzing for Istanbul. Can you image the meltdown with red scousers if we make it and win in Istanbul. It’ll take their history away and their night in Istanbul a little sour

Oh no.

Foden is better than Sterling in every way except pace. I don't see Sterling sitting out too many games and being happy but he isn't playing anywhere near Phil's level. Could be off come the Summer window.

Not even sure on the pace question.

But it's not necessarily a slight on sterling. Foden is one in a lifetime

Has Pochettino got Mumps?

He's not been near the salad bar, that's for sure!

Utterly magnificent second half. Did okay first half and Pep was right that you have to suffer at times. Thought PSG were really good first half, best team I've seen us play this season. However the boys weathered the storm and stuck it right up em

Last 10mins of the first half it looked like the penny dropped for us, PSG looked gassed and once Zinchenko replaced Cancelo (sensible sub as on a yellow), then we completely roasted them to be fair. Not being biased at all but we bossed it, moving Foden centrally worked as he has no fear, receive ball, turn, and then power through on goal. He scared them. Also Bernardo/Mahrez and Walker on the overlap worked very well, their LB Bakken couldn't cope with that triangle after having a very solid first half nullifying Mahrez. I am so so happy.

That was a high quality game, and little old city came out on top! PSG were the same against Bayern , they tired 2nd half but always have the threat on the breakaway. Zinchenko was a lot better on the ball than Cancelo, but will he get done for pace in the return? Walker was brilliant.

To be fair if I was taken out of a team and replaced with a lad who supports the team, is a generational talent and is just better I couldn't really complain and I'd leave with my head high.

Very poor for all but the final 10 of the first half but magnificent second half. One of the best halves of football I think I've ever seen us produce. Thought that Zinch coming on changed the game, giving us more balance and control on the left. Good change by Pep, taking Cancelo off, with the danger of picking up a second yellow. Stones, Walker and Father Ruben all excellent to a man. Nice of BT to give decent commentary and punditry too. Thought the commentary was fair and balanced tonight. Rightly praising PSG for their first half performance without slagging City. Fair synopsis of the second half too, rightly praising the performance. Great night to be a Blue.
