Post Match Thread | Juventus vs Manchester City

[Blueband Brother]

Not good enough today. Cut apart too easily and without Joe Hart, it would have been another embarrassing scoreline. At least we have qualified from what seemed to be a tough group after the draw was made; just hope we get a good draw (no Barcelona, absolutely not with the way they are playing at the moment) in the next round at least for the optics of the club progressing in the Champions League, if of-course we manage to get past whatever team we get.

Pellegrini has a lot of work to do.. a lot and the injury problem has to be reviewed by the club as that is a major factor to the up and down performances. Hopefully Silva is back for Saturday because we need him.

With Clichy crossing from one side and Navas from the other we were always going to struggle

Not sure why Fernandinho was taken off but Pelli does seem to mess him about if you look at last season as well

Overall, pretty shit

Sterling should've buried that!

This was inevitable when we kept a manager past his time to wait for Pep.

We're going to throw away another season just like we did during Mancini's final season.

It will be two seasons down the toilet with this halfwit in charge. The man's a bafoon.

Can't blame him if professional footballers cannot do the simplest things in front of goal but most everything else though is his fault

We will get raped by Southampton on Saturday

No good performance. Our strength is our attack, it's shocking how bad we do in the CL. Sterling has to score and so has Aguero. Plus that close thing after a corner and Fernandinho after a few minutes. Should have been at least one, more two goals. Two times we gave away three points to Juve.

This is what you learn from Juve. When you take the lead , you f**king keep it till end. :-(

Played well up to a point and that point yet again is the final third with full backs constantly stopping and cutting back with final balls a disgrace and when we do create players are missing sitters at this level. Also our play is pedestrian at times and its just not going to cut it against organised teams.

Certain players are absolutely mentally weak and its a problem we have had in the squad since Mancini's days.

I've been itching to say there's a mentality issue embedded in this squad and even an air of arrogance about it but feared the backlash.

 

[homerdog]

should have taken the game to them more, sooooooooo slow. what the feck were we waiting for?

This just about sums it up. A lack of desire and, in some cases, a lack of ability (Navas, Sterling, to name but 2).
