QF 1st Leg Post Match Thread

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

They weren't exactly great tonight either, so I'm still confident for next week. They hardly offered much either side of their goal except for a few wild shots at Row Z. We can do em' next week easily. Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy about the way we're playing lately, but we can do it no hassle. Get back to the City we know and we could be 3 up in the first 10-20 minutes. Just hope we do see that City and not the pretty half-arsed team we've been watching the last couple of weeks.

COYB.

Disappointed you Mancs couldn’t dispatch the Dark Side...however you’ll stuff them at the Etihad..you f**king better!!!

At least Glenn Hoddle is still alive to bless us all with his 1980sfootballness.

1-0 is not a hard score to turn around, 2-0 and i would be twitching, the battle is not to concede because i cant see us putting 3 past them on the night

1-0 is a horrible scoreline to have to turn around at home in a second leg. Sure, on a good day we're capable of sticking 4 or 5 past spurs, but spurs aren't a shit team and we can't just assume we'll have it our own way. It's awful having to play out the last 10-15 mins if we only get 1-0 ahead. They nick one and you suddenly find yourself needing three. Unless we blow them out of the water in the first half it's going to be extremely nervy.

There must be a really good reason why we didn't play our normal players and didn't play at our normal tempo.

Snails pace doesn't suit our players.

Hoddle, Ferdinand and Lineker talking as if Fernandinho tried to kill Kane with his elbow...Jesus Christ....how pathetic.

It was pathetic - even Peter Walton thought it was pathetic.

Let's hope the ref is a homer

He played left back against Liverpool in January and Salah didn’t have a touch. We had Kompany and Stones on the bench.

Delph shouldn’t even be traveling with the team now.

My position is, we wouldn't play Aguero on the right wing so I don't like the idea of playing our best CB at left back

 

[MCFC1993]

But he's played Sterling every game recently and he will start against Palace and Spurs and United. Is he so much fitter than Leroy.

I think he is, I don't recall Sterling ever being rested, even in the pressing game tonight he looked the sharpest.

Sterling will start every game he possibly can, along with Fernandinho, those 2 are the fittest in the squad and only get rested as a last resort.
