That’s why Bayern were glad to see the back of him

Whatever suits your agenda. They never wanted him gone.

Every City pass looks like it’s in slo-mo. No wonder passes to Haaland look so risky - opposition defenses have a few minutes to get reorganized to mark him as City slowly advances upfield.

Compare that to Real’s series of two or three one-touch passes at full sprint that get the ball into the opponent’s box. City’s tactics are not just ineffective, they have made City a dreadful team to watch.

Do you think Haaland has upset the Apple cart with all the attention? This group of players have won everything multiple times bar the CL, yet this young upstart comes in and is the talk of the town? They don’t like it? Something is off.

Dunno what's going on. It's baffling.

VAR didn’t even check the handball. It’s bent,people can bury their heads in the sand all they want but the sport is fixed.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

That’s not a leading question. How can it be, when it invites one of two possible answers?
‘How blatant was that penalty at the end?‘ would be closer to the mark.

OK a silly question then. Yes. Obviously.

 

[OB1]

It's absolutely silly how nobody wants to pass to him. Guardiola's tactics have been far too sterile, too much concern about losing possession and control not.

It's not that they don’t want to pass to him. Opponents set up to prevent it. We could take more risks but that can cause problems on transition.

Haaland did get played through and didn't bit the target; he should have.

That goal gets disallowed if we score it

And that penalty is given for literally any other team in the world

 

[El Gringo]

Corrupt fuckers - even Stevie Wonder could see that was a pen

Good result against a German side that has only been beaten once in twenty games , we now have home advantage to finish the tie off , of the four remaining English teams we are easily the better placed to progress.
Leipzig had a good 20 minute spell , cannot understand how their centre back was allowed to put both hands on Dias's shoulders to get to the height to head the ball for the equaliser and the referee did nothing no VAR etc.
The handball in the last minute again is obvious but Var refused to get involved , yet again being stitched u by UEFA , nothing new there.

The coach tells them what to do. None of this is baffling.
