QF 1st Leg Post Match Thread

[kaz7]

First post, Bolton fan but brought up a city fan til I was 14 and joined my mates supporting my local club. Always had a soft spot for city and quietly admired your last 10 years upsetting the European royalty.

Once you drew Spurs I believed it was the worse draw you could have got other than Utd. City are best against foreign opposition and you would have probably beat any of the foreign teams. However, I fear Spurs will score one or two so city will have to score 4!

As a great pep fan I love his approach and football but his in and pre match approach to the very big games need to be questioned, just put out your best side and let them play!

Hope you beat Spurs but I fear the lack of a an away goal will cost you. Spurs will get turned over by Juve or Ajax.

Anyhow, bring on the trolls., I am 59 and loved European and WC football since 1970. (BTW I stood on the Kippax and sat in the south stand (opposite the bell lady who sat behind the opposite goal, with my very older Scottish brother in law for many games from 1970 - 1973 who was city mad.)

Spurs was the best draw not the worse,we usually beat them and if pep hadn't of changed the way we play we would have beaten them i'm sure,we got 100 pts playing prem teams in case you forgot..

Two.

What is their competition like, compared to ours ?

How athletic did Barca look, at the swamp ?

Barc did not look worse than us. They are +1 away and we are -1.

Aye we've struggled like shit, against English opposition, this season.

And last season as well to be fair

Barca were shite & were the only team this season to lose pretty much every 2nd ball to Utd.

Listen mate, you’re talking to someone who believes a defeat on Tuesday guarantees us dropping points in the league

Much

Much

So much, I've erased it from my memory ;-)

We were tepid v Fulham. We were fairly crap v Brighton.

We know for sure that a fair number of players aren't fully fit & those that are, have probably played too much.

That should imo give us a clue why Pep isn't throwing eveyrone full tilt at every game.

If he did, we would probably win fuck all else.

Fair enough but we came unstuck on Tue and we won't get away with it for much longer. There is no room to manouvre now.

Fair enough.
