Porto (h) post-match thread

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Whoever swapped shirts with Pepe should set fire to it in the centre circle.

Put it back on him and then set fire to it would be even better

5 bookings to nil, great result ref

Pepe was booked.

At least their manager was magnanimous in defeat...

He was a diving injury feigning moaning **** as a player that shit house

Good result and a mixed performance. Ferran and Phil looked good when they came on. Good performance from Kyle and Gundo. Good match to get out of the way given their appalling cheating and the referee's gullibility (bias).

Not a wonderful performance but it is going to take them time to get up to speed given all the enforced changes and lack of pre-season.

Also, shouldn't be forgotten that was a tough game for a long time because Porto gave City so little space to play in; once they had to open up, we looked like we could carve them to pieces.

So, in the end, a reasonable European performance but a few of the kinds of mistake in the first half that have to be eradicated if we are to win this cup.

I have to admit Pepe's dive did make me laugh.

Are you Peter Kay in disguise

 

[Goater=Legend]

That **** upfront for them was falling over at every opportunity

 

[fallacy]

Pepe was booked.

he should have been sent off

 

[AlexGrimaldo]

Great result just a shame about Fern.

Oh, and Porto are a bunch of cheating cunts.

Porto are really a bunch of cheats, years of that here in Portugal, and Porto coach its a sh**t person

First half was really poor, passing was sloppy and the build up was far too slow. Defensively we were a shambles but not too surprising when you consider the changes made.

Second half better, especially when Foden and Torres came on. I like the look of Torres once he gets used to the PL I think he will really flourish. The kid has quality.

Walker was outstanding once again and MOTM
