[Project]

I think what Lillo offered to Pep is his experience as a coach in dealing with some situations within the squad but most importantly he made Guardiola to change his mind and to return to the basics with the way how he wants City to play.. right now City really look like a proper Guardiola team and there are even glimpses of his Barcelona days in terms of domination and suffocation of the opponents.. it is a joy to watch.

Been thinking the same thing over the past few weeks. There’s been a clear elevation in the levels we have been able to achieve this season with pretty much the same players. The passing is much quicker yet just as controlled and purposeful. Every player to a man - not just the front 3 -fully in tune with the positional football demands Pep has of them to the point it feels like they’re on auto pilot. See Rodri with eyes now in the back of his head. The intensity of the press is back. Similarly, the ability to beat almost any press.

Its a very special group. Maybe one piece of the jigsaw away from being absolutely complete.But arguably even without that this is his finest team since Barcelona.

Hahaha just listening to that bloated prick. He does realise that we beat Chelsea and got a draw at Anfield doesn’t he?

He truly is the thickest **** ever.

Every time he’s on he comes out with utter bollocks.

Just had to turn TV off before I threw something at it.

Great performance tonight, also great support, and for all the moaning about day trippers the ground was loads fuller than usual at the final whistle, and the players received proper mass appreciation for once

Bernie is on another planet right now. Imagine just how good you have to be for that to be true in this squad.

Messi, Mbappe, Neymar. Yesterday's men.

Not a team left in this competition that we don't beat over two legs, my only fear is Chelsea or the Bin Dippers in a final.

22 yr old Mbappe, yesterdays man? You sure about that.

Just give Bernardo Silva HRH Sheikh Mansour's bank pin code and let him draw out whatever he wants whenever he wants to sign a new contract. The lad is a fuckin baller.

Thank you for your contribution, Rio.

"Awful result because despite everyone claiming this game was unimportant, I think it has decided that they will finish first in the group, and that’s not great."

Whoops

Sorry for your loss mate

It was a pleasure to be there. Magnificent performance.

Off topic slightly what date/s are we roughly thinking the last 16 ties will be ..

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

He’s the best in the world at what he does

Yeah yeah but what about “Trent” and Reece James ;-)

 

[manchester blue]

Watching that game just proved to me that the question has been answered, once and for all. Of the two modern greats Messi is not fit to be mentioned in the same conversation as Ronaldo. A petulant, lazy, hand-on-hips, can’t be arsed prima Donna.
A disgraceful footballer. An Argentine Joe Cole.
Thank the lord above we weren’t stupid enough to actively pursue him.

I wouldn’t go that far however, he was culpable for the first goal. Just watching play develop twice. There’s no way Pep would put up with that.
