Pep ‘When defence is shit, more attack’.

Fun times ahead !

 

[TinFoilHat]

If we do that when some our elite players are injured the rest of Europe will shit themselves when they are all back.

Lol Laurie Cunningham.

Bloody hell TONY Cunningham I always say Laurie. One was a great footballer and one was absolute garbage .

After a poor first half, we clearly showed why we are champions in the second.

Yes superb changes from Pep.

 

[super_city_si]

He's missing boulders.

I bet theyre more like raisins at the mo

Something is up with Dias
He has turned into a total liability this season
I think he needs a break

He was on a yellow when he got turned for the second. He knew he had to let him go otherwise we’d be without him for the Spurs game. Still one our best players and a true leader.

Even Phil agrees about the first half.

'First half was worst I've seen us'​

FT: Man City 3-2 RB Leipzig

Manchester City
Manchester City's Phil Foden, speaking to TNT Sports: "First half was the worst I've seen us. Courage and motivation courage changed it around. This team has great mentality and its so nice to see.
"We just needed that [first] goal to get going. Even the fans were a lot louder after the goal. Once the first went in the motivation was there.
"We've got a great record at the Etihad and it only takes one goal to change things."
On his goal: "I've been rushing a few chances but I passed it through the guys legs. Fortunately it went in."

Wasn't perfect though, as Pellegrini hadn't realised winning by 2 goals would have had us top the group.

Yes, I always thought that was an amazing oversight. Nearly as bad as playing in the corner vs dippers.

Wonderful play from our 'chief creator in waiting' Mr Phil Foden. Well played City. We're you toying with Leipzig?

two poor decisions made in the first half led to us 2-0 down without offering much upfront.

much better 2nd half

We blew three what I thought were pretty easy chances over the bar in the first half. Dias header, Rico’s shot and Haaland’s shot. That’s what I wrote in the MD thread when we were 1 down — while the defens(c)e looked shaky, we had some good opportunities we needed to bury and I thought we’d come back if we got many more.

Of course I also texted “Cancel the statues for Haaland, Rodri and Pep” to a friend at half time :) :) :).
