if the team is there for the taking?I would have happily taken that result before the game but I'm very disappointed with it now. PSG were there for the taking tonight. I think we should have gone for it personally, PSG's legs had gone after 70-75 minutes but we didn't go at them with any conviction. We looked happy at 2-2 and I can understand that but I just think we could have finished the tie tonight if we had showed a bit more commitment going forward on the break in that last 15-20 minutes.
They were never fine actually.They were fine when city were scraping through qualifiers and getting some decent results when it didn't matter - now we're half way through a quarter final with our noses in front and we have a real possibility of a semi - final appearance, the horrible possibility of City actually achieving European recognition - it's all getting too much for him, and the rag in him is kicking in! ( just like camel-gob earlier)
I think so too. I thought we had a decent chance of a good result and would have taken a 2-1 defeat.Great result, and unexpected too. One of the things I love about this football club. They'll let you down when you expect them to win, but then get a result against the odds. Typical City, and all that. I wouldn't have it any other way.
The second leg is far from a formality though. I'd say it's 60/40 in our favour now, which I'd have snapped your hands off yesterday.

We do and they can all jolly well fuck off as far as I'm concerned.Even ITV news had to mention that it wasn't El Classico more like El Cashico - and mentioning that PSG and City are living off petro dollars.
I suppose we have to live with all this snidy remarks.

We start with our noses in front. Crucial. They'll have to come at us and wont be able to frustrate us playing a possession game. I also think we can boss them in midfield. They might just start Ibra away from home, but if we can keep them out, they'll have to bring Cavani on, and then we should outnumber them in midfield. We need to score first. I am sure they have a goal in them as they have as good attacking players as anyone. Indeed they hava great side. Thiago Silva in defence. Perhaps their midfield isn't the best without Veratti. And they'll miss Matuidi too. I'm hoping veratti isn't going to be back. It's only 6 days away so it sounds unlikely.I will take that result all day long. A good result and it was particularly impressive how we fought back after going 2-1 down and in the manner we did ( their equaliser). The team showed spirit and was organised and solid at the back.
De Bruyne return was just what the team needed- lead the line today and our center backs did OK as well. We have the advantage on paper,it is still going to be a fight and it is all about finishing the job.
It is going to be a historic second leg and a great occasion.
Not 'hard shoulder shitting'?It was my chosen subject on Mastermind.
On another day Luiz would have been sent off after 1 minute and we would have scored 5 so what's your point.
I'm sorry but you don't go to Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, Juventus, PSG and play open football. Not with the players we have at least. You restrict them and we did that very well and also looked dangerous going forward. If you think that is a poor performance then you should have seen us play Wimbledon at home when we got hammered 3-0 in the late 80's now that was a poor performance.
