Maybe we did the underestimating trick again thinking we could just turn up and win ala Newcastle. No German side is ever going to be a pushover and hopefully we've learnt a lot from this for the second leg. Hard to pick a motm as nobody stood out, probably Sterling?. Sergio, Kdb, Otamendi not at the races, thank god for Leroy.
I thought the BT commentary was very pro-City.
Not after Raheem's goal and the final whistle. They all said the right words, but the atmosphere was as flat as a witch's tit. You could hear the disappointment in their voices. Pathetic.
Unbelievable goal keeper. Possibly the best passer of a ball in world football too.Just how good is Ederson though. Thise long passes he does are amazing. So accurate.
Whether we would or wouldn't is irrelevant. VAR is used to overturn decisions where there has been a clear and obvious error.
If the on-field ref gives a corner, as he did last night, VAR should not overturn, because it wasn't a clear and obvious error.
If the on-field ref had given a penalty, VAR should not overturn, because it wouldn't have been a clear and obvious error.
Nobody in the World of football thinks VAR is going to solve everything but if it is implemented and used as agreed, most football fans will come to terms with it and its flaws. However if, as last night, VAR is used where the rules that UEFA have set out, are completely ignored, the debate will rage on.
Agreed, I watch a lot of rugby and the var system is over used in my opinion. Also, just as they tried last night with our goal, how far back does the review go, that is still a grey area even after a few years of review.they could of just copied rugbys take on var, it actually enhances the game
