Porto (h) post-match thread

[mancity2012_eamo]

he should have been sent off

I thought he was already on a yellow when he finally got it.

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Porto's gamesmanship tactics reminded me of Allardyce's Bolton and Moyes' Everton, a horrible team. Showed character to come from behind and win, hopefully nothing serious for Fern. Walker MOTM for me.

5-1 ;)

late consolation, should have been red

Had to laugh when Keown called Fernandinho an "elderly player".

Especially when Keown is 10,000 years old, dug out of a block of ice from the Palaeolithic era

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

He's always been a fucking mard arse, cheating shithouse. Thank fuck he never played for us.

 

[hilts]

We won walker was great and apart from gundog free kick and Torres goal everything else including the opposition and ref was gash.

 

[knuckles]

Tough to watch the first half, and also one of the worst refs we have seen. Great to Sergio getting some minutes - and of course scoring! - A lot better after the subs even though we were winning by that time, for me we finished with a better team/formation than we started

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Not great, but job done.

Fixture list is diabolical, and no pre-season only exacerbates the issues.

Hopefully Fern is oaky.

Interesting what Gundog was saying about variable state of fitness of squad, and that it won’t be hard for pep to pick team as not everyone will be fit (so he will have to pick who he can)

 

[SWPISHOME]

Stone wall penalty and a red card.

He’ll be on Meals on Wheels soon according to captain caveman!

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Yeah but the pattern of the game was because he (and others)kept passing backwards, sideways or giving it away.

I don't disagree mate.

 

[decmancity]

The game was crying out for Foden and Torres and im buzzing that they got on and then linked for the goal. We need more of both of them in the starting 11. Started off very slow and ponderous.

Needed the win, seemed a stupid move to throw on Fernandinho at the time and then he goes off injured. Not sure why Pep couldn't have put on anyone other than him for 10mins game time.

 

[worsleyweb]

Someone’s messed the thread title up!

 

[BucksBlue]

Going by the grim expression of our Doc it looks a bad injury for Fernandinho, let’s hope not.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

What was Conceição's problem?

 

[hgblue]

Could pick numerous holes in the performance and slag off certain individuals, but bearing in mind the missing players and disrupted start to the season, let’s just bank a decent result and move on.

 

[Blueknows]

Stone wall penalty and a red card.

pen at the very least was it even looked at ?

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Dont know why Pep perseveres with two defensive midfield players against teams like Porto who we knew would just sit behind the ball , after the substitutions we looked so much better , Pep's tactics becoming more cautious would love to know the reason why , we had plenty of creativity tonight but some of it was sitting on the bench

He's a ****.
