Well done City! KDB back in our side has made all the difference.
Bizarre strategy by PSG. Needing to score, they played possession football, never playing it long and not playing ultra-attacking to create havoc. Consequently, they rarely threatened our side.
It seems to me that we're pretty solid when the opposition has the ball.
It's when our fullbacks (or centerbacks) press forward on offense and then the ball turns over that we're extremely vulnerable.
Credit to Pellers... our defense was extremely cautious, so on the rare occasions that we turned the ball over on offense we were in good shape defensively.
Agreed. And we're even better, IMO, when we don't play such open, attacking, football with our fullbacks and sometimes centerbacks charging forward every time we have the ball.last night showed us a great lesson of the season;
When we play possession football, we are too ponderous and end up with 6 around the box and teams tear us apart on the counter again and again, requiring few chances to score goals.
When we play AGAINST a team who is better in possession, we sit a little and begin to see our more direct side come out.

We're pretty solid defensively so long as our back 4 are basically in good defensive position. And our attack with KDB, Aguero and Silva in the lineup is potent enough that we'll score eventually in buildup or on the break. It's conceding after a turnover so often that's killing us.
How bitter is Blanc...

Says we're just 'a guest club' in the semi. Prick.
Haha!The way we were playing, I thought we'd get battered over the two legs and absolutely love being proved wrong.
I think we'll get battered in the semi too... ;)
I watched on the box last night and that atmosphere didn't come across at all,it felt,and sounded,very flat....ive attended games myself where the atmosphere has been brilliant and yet when ive watched it on TV later..... again,it didn't do it justice.....so whats going on??
Edit - just seen the atmosphere thread :-)
