They pressed him yesterday and he lost the ball when he was under a lot of pressure. That midfield press was too much for him yesterday. I'll play Bernie there for his defensive work rate and link-up play. Alvarez in front of Walker. That would completely neutralize Vini.

Doesn’t matter what you’d do, Pep will play him, quite rightly too

Utterly disgusting from BT sport here. Humphrey is a shite host anyway but outwardly posting this shit

Well that's just more motivation for Wednesday.

Absolutely this or Foden, I love Bernie but we need to be on the front foot more and Alvarez dropping and running in to those spaces will help.

Nothing against Bernie in saying that, I agree, we need someone who is going to pin Camavinga in his position. In the first 30 mins he was disciplined and sat deep, Ancelloti realised he could free him up, as Bernie doesn’t have the pace or direct game, this led to the goal and he caused Bernie no end of problems, it’s gonna take a different approach for the second leg and we have the tools

I said if we come away with a draw we'll go through, plan for Istanbul is a go.

Magnificent performance and given the occasion arguably one of our best in Europe. Rarely will any team go to Madrid and totally boss the first half as we did and whilst the second half was more even I still think we controlled most of the game. Second leg will be immense and I think with a few minor tweaks we will prevail. Their starting eleven is pretty obvious and we can plan whereas we can start Foden, Mahrez etc with no downgrade.

A home second leg in a semi-final knowing that any sort of win takes us to the final. Who wouldn't have taken that at the start of February? Our boys have ripped up trees for nigh-on three months now. Every City fan should be nothing but exceptionally proud of our boys.

i think mahrez could be the game winner for us, for all his attacking flair vinicius doesnt help out in defence, i reckon mahrez would rip them a new one

Beautiful.

That isn't out of play!
Like a goal the WHOLE OF THE BALL HAS TO BE OVER THE LINE.
The second image later on in the thread is so distorted it is bollox

 

[Dirty Harry]

This fella can’t get a game…



Think on that!

Is he walking an invisible dog on an extender lead ?
