Porto v City In Match Discussion thread

Hope we get a good pacey winger in the summer

Mancini doesn't like winger's (Bellamy ?) so i doubt we will be in for one. i really hope i am wrong though.

If we want to go to next round we need more tonight.

For me it wouldnt be disaster to leave EL, United goes trough surely, we then would have to worry only about the 13 PL games which is a bit advantage. But don't run that much ahead, Mancini said he takes this trophy seriously (said it last year too...), we need to play faster in Europe.

We don't use our fullbacks, Clichy/Richards their pace is not only for the trainings, let's use them.

Yaya seems a bit tired to mee, Nasri not really in it. They have to improve.

Porto plays fast, they press a lot and our players don't like it, little bit like Napoli but Porto is a bit more attacking minded. They press higher.

Away goals count a lot in this tie, so we should go home without scoring if we really want to be in next round.

2-1 loss is still much more better than 1-0 to Porto.

What a complete joke, this performance is an absolute disgrace, I was honestly nearly physically sick when they scored, I've actually got a bucket next to me now in the case that they score again. Mancini is a joke of a human being, and I hate all of our players. Should bring back hanging for performances like this. A disgrace. An absolute disgrace.

Tell me this is a wind up...

Christ on a bike, some of you lot don't have make me laugh. You're 1-0 down to the reigning champions away from home yet you have had 2 or 3 good chances and just failed to put them away. 60% possession i think as well.

You're playing well. Unfortunate that you're behind, but some of you think you're playing Walsall away and have the divine right to wonder why you aren't 5-0 up!

This is far from over. And you are NOT playing shit!

It is a nice match, the referee is strict but not a thief like the ones "playing" for rags in EPL.
Also nice to see some of Porto players we were linked with, like Hulk, I was not watching their league.
As Porto looks suspect at the back, I hope we can at least equalize in the second half.

We just don't know how to beat teams that park the bus !

 

[Jaskosss]

we so badly need hazard on this team. Maybe he won't defend like a dejong but he would up our offense in a way aj or any other winger we now have in the team will never be able to do.

I am worried that it's going to be one of those nights.

Still not convinced that Silva and Nasri can play together in the same side.
