PSG (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

[lancs blue]

I honestly think it would be better if we went out next week, so that we have a chance to make top 4/5 and qualify for next season as we look so fucking tired right now. Those thinking Khusnetsov and Reis won't be playing much immediately need to think again, we cannot cope with 3 games a week with the currently fit players.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Fair fucks to Paris. That was a hard game that we took control of but they fought back and won.

A win next week and we are through.

Took control of when? Even when we went 2 up we couldn't stop them scoring for more than 2 minutes. How much control did we have after 54 minutes?...I would suggest none for the next 41 minutes

Why have we bought 3 inexperienced Centre halfs for £70 million with no bonafide RB/LB/DM. Those 3 positions are in far worse shape than CB, granted we have issues there but some numbers in that position at least (the young kids wont even play this season).

All about the priorities and we have got all ours totally mixed up. I have no idea how anyone cant possibly see this. Txixi and Pep have lost the plot I'm afraid and were paying for it week after week.

Tonight isn’t even a surprise, is it?

Safe to say no corner is turned. We should have had a DM/RB in first week of Jan. Total negligence…

 

[argyle]

There are a ton of wholes in the squad, and the board is to blame for that, but there is also a culture and attitude problem at this club.

There needs to be a full house cleaning this summer of the entire squad, guys like Lewis, Stones, and Bernardo need to be gone at the end of this season.

Culture and attitude problem at the club??

Wft. Do you need reminding what we've won the last 6 years?

 

[grifter]

No.

We need to win and get a better result than Sporting, Benfica, Stuttgart or PSG.

We’d leapfrog Brugge with a win? Barring Zagreb scoring 14 goals or something we’d be in the play offs

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

No.

We need to win and get a better result than Sporting, Benfica, Stuttgart or PSG.

If we beat Brugge we go above them on goal difference and unless Zagreb score 10+ we will be through. But who would have thought that is something we'd be worrying about at this stage of the season.

 

[BooksReject]

Get yer tin hat on, you’re gonna get pelters on here for that

He’s right though and I haven’t even seen beanhead play

 

[mancityscot]

yet another disappointment in a season full of them.
Some players just aren’t at the level required and our midfield is non existent. Mentality wise I have no words, it’s completely fucked.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Is it really worth it tbh this season?

Course it is. The new format can play right into our hands here. Scraping through then going onto knock one of the teams out rice aced it?

When did everyone become so full of doom and fucking gloom? Just because we aren’t winning every game? Really does my fucking head in the mentality on here.

 

[meeesh]

That was an embarrassing last 30 odd minutes.

I thought we looked decent in the first half and then going 2-0 up.

But how the fuck do we always implode.

Ederson needs to have a serious word with himself, that's at least three games in the CL this season that he has cost us the game.
If his heart isn't in it and he wants to leave, just get rid!

His head was turned by Saudi, simple as that, been as shit as ever since no wonder we rotate like we do

 

[super_city_si]

Hard to know where to start with that.

I still think Ortega's a better keeper atm.

Gundogan and Bernardo should never start for us ever again. Both need to go at the end of the season. O'Reilly should start ahead of either of them.

Why did Savinho come off?

Rico's an honest lad but to throw him in at LB at HT was asking for trouble. He looked completely lost.

KDB should have stayed on, he's the one player that can produce something.

I can't believe how bad Kovacic is.
We desperately need a new central midfielder to have any chance of salvaging the season.

KDB was the worst player on the pitch. Hes currently not got the legs for this level.

 

[cookster]

Is it absolutely certain we are in the playoffs if we beat Brugge?

Likely as Stuttgart and PSG have to play each other.

 

[argyle]

Pep has lost this team, but the lack of backbone shown by the players is as embarrassing as it is baffling.

Lol

 

[Brewster's millions]

Well and truly found out against a good side.

A complete mismatch if we’re being completely honest.

They had everything we lack - ambition, pace, aggression and a proper game plan. Good players and good management- the complete opposite of the shit we’ve churned out this season. We looked like a fucking rabble tonight.

Obviously we need 6 or 7 new players but Guardiola needs to have a proper look at himself. Same shit tactics every week, we can’t defend to save our lives and how players like Bernado get into the team week in week out is quite mystifying.

 

[hertsblue]

Embarrassing yet again.
To start with, he needs new blood as a number 2 and get rid of sub standard back room staff and bring in better quality coaching/conditioning staff. If he cannot see the mess we are in then he has a group of Yes men behind him. Though staring to think if even Pep can find any answers if he still thinks the midfield, Nunes at RB, Lewis etc are the answer.
Shocking we are 3 weeks into the transfer window and we have not addressed our midfield issues.
We won’t finish in the play off places, Bruce will be fitter, faster and more committed than we are, we will still be putting the square pegs in round holes, the joke midfield out and we will go out as we are nowhere near one of the best 24 teams in Europe atm.
No midfielders in this window = 8th at best in the PL.
Goalkeepers, Lewis, Silva, Gund, Kobe, Nunes, Kev no where near the quality we need, Ake/Stones too injury prone. Jury out on a Gvardiol based on his performance so this season.
May be a blessing to go out next week instead of the extra games.

 

[Worzel Gummidge#9]

Do we get into the europa league against the rags?

We wouldn't stoop that low

 

[toutmaster]

We took the piss out of teams not getting though group stages there’s us near the bottom of this league of about 30 teams total joke

 

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

Might be quicker and easier to rebuild Hadrian’s Wall than City’s midfield on that performance

 

[ninjamonkey]

What a tactical disaster class, making two subs at half time and going 2-0 up.

The two goals were anonalies that came from the exact opposite of what Pep was trying to do with the subs. It was akanji and then Nunes bursting forward that created both of those goals. pep made the subs to try and play a more controlled slower game, we couldn't even get out of our own half. Did we even have a shot after the second goal?

 

[willipp]

What did Nunes do? This is genuinely funny at this point

Dived in to a challenge he was never winning allowing barcola a free run into the box and setting up their first goal. Two nil up at least try and keep it tight for 10/15 minutes. Nope, completely sell yourself in a nightmare position and start their comeback.
