Walker superb if only he had an end productWELL DONE CITY

 

[N1985]

Job done. Would have taken 1 nil at one stage, it's going to be absolutely electric next Wednesday. Can't wait. On to Neverton.

 

[Metal Biker]

Ancelotti whinging about the ball being out of play...

the fourth official was right there LOOKING AT IT.

 

[Gobshiight]

Jesus, what's happened to Michael Owen?

 

[OB1]

That was an excellent performance in the circumstances.

 

[feelymcfeel]

Let's not forget we lost this game 2-1 after 90m last season after going 1 up. This year to come back from 1 down and earn a draw despite not being our absolute best - a few guys off the boil, sloppy occasionally - is a vast improvement.

 

[Heisenberg's Blue Sky]

Draw away from home to Real. I'll take that. Madrid shithousing and crowd booing because they know what awaits them at the Etihad if we're on song. I think we'll do it. Only one that impressed me for them was Vini Jnr. Quality player.

 

[skillman]

That Kev strike is as pure as you can hit a ball. Fucking hell.

Even in slow motion it rifles in

 

[Norbert D]

Fucking great result. Remember Stadium was fucking sweltering. So proud of the boys. i need a ticket for next week as I will be unbearable for the others in my home. Madrid are such a bunch of snide bastards, in the end the ref did ok. KDB what a fucking goal.
I was critical of Eddie for the goal but fair do‘s made up for it second half.

 

[west didsblue]

Thought Walker did a good job on the whole on Vin Jr -better than Ferny

Gave the ball away too often for my liking but because he kept Vini Jr under control apart from the goal, on balance he had a good game.

 

[chesterbells]

Disappointed that Foden or Alvarez didnt come on.

Ederson MOTM for me.

Hopefully they’ll be the difference-makers for us on Sunday.

I think the game plan was good and players were really focused, but I also think a lot of our players had really poor performances. Bernardo and Gundogan misplaced easy passes all night long, slowed us down when we had a break, were too quick when we had to be slow. Awful performance. Grealish was also poor. Bad controls, some bad passing. Even Stones I think was really poor with some of his controls. So KDB and Haaland didn't have too many chances.

Anyway, as a fan what you can ask is for the players to be focused and give it all, and they all did.

 

[Tokyo32]

Grealish and Bernardo didn’t offer enough. Gundogan making poor decisions.

I’m not really going to say the overall performance was bad just sloppy at times.

 

[applecentral]

To all the moaners in here. We just played away in an 80 degree cauldron and a hostile crowd against the current champions of Europe, and most decorated team in Europe.
Our boys run themselves into the ground being kicked to death in the process. We battled for every ball against a really strong team.
A draw away to Bayern and a draw away to Real sums up the courage and determination of our team.
Be proud of our boys and stop complaining. We are the luckiest supporters in the world. Embrace it and our team.

 

[The Colonel]

I don't know how to feel about that... Yes, we got a draw but it was a pretty poor showing.

The fact that Pep didn't make a single sub is so bizarre that dare I say it borders cowardice.

As mere fans we get obsessed with substitutions as it’s the only way our non football minds can think of how to change a game.
I’ll help you how to think about it. We went into the den of the champions took a blow and came out with a share of the spoils. we go as favourites at home next week.
Come on City.

 

[madden150]

Semi final Champions League in Madrid. There’s a few in here can’t grasp that. They are pretty good and so are we. Great result that. On to the Etihad!!

 

[madloaf]

That goal by Kev is fucking porn

 

[The perfect fumble]

From the BBC....

What are the odds for success?​

FT: Real Madrid 1-1 Man City
Based on City's previous European two-legged knockout ties, starting with a 1-1 away draw in the first leg saw them progress to the next round on both occasions.
Based on all Real Madrid's previous European two-legged knockout ties, starting with a 1-1 home draw in the first leg saw them being eliminated in five of the previous six occasions.

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Rio "it was out" when his employers have said it's inconclusive. Prick.

I hope there’s a tv angle that proves it was out. Let’s wind them up.

 

[hlame]

really happy with the result, a bit concerned that we weren’t creating enough clear cut open play chances and relied on that de bruyne strike to get us back in the game but players will be getting fatigued about now. all to play for at home
