Sevilla (A) | Post Match Thread

Interesting. I thought he was right up there with our best performers in the first half.

Which one was it, I'm reading complete opposites where his performance is being described, hard to tell on the radio.

I bet Pep always planned to give him an hour tonight though.

Still thought he played pretty well in the time he was on the pitch. I think he went off because he was just coming back from injury and probably isn't up to full fitness yet. I would expect that the plan was always for him to play 60 mins and ease him back in.

I'm happy to disagree, I thought he was useless.

Reidy should have "Grandad" on his shirt instead of brother.

I think someone said 885 in the match thread, decent at such short notice

Fuckinell it's going up, any advance on 885 ;-)

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Agreed.

He probably did, but direct ? he passed it backwards most times, and rarely drove at their defence.

Phil made himself more dangerous, but Phil is great on both sides, and his workrate is far better than Jack's, so that was nothing to do with Grealish imho.

I've no problem with Grealish as a player, when he's good he's good, but tonight wasn't one of those nights, hence Pep pulled him off after 62 minutes, clearly he wasn't happy, and nor was Pep, hence the debrief which the camera's showed, and then the obvious "sulk", so it wasn't so he can start on Saturday v Spurs, (happy to be quoted on Saturday if wrong).

Phil’s been shite on the left this season.

Grealish will be important in the toughest games we play. Keeping the ball is paramount.

Holy shit. The post match analysis is hilarious. Ferdinand is fuming and can barely even speak. It’s so awkward.

When has Ferdinand ever been able to speak?

Navas' crossing brought back memories...

Of the German V2 rocket attacks over London?

Obviously getting too expensive nowadays to attend every champs league awayday. How many blues travelled?

Officially 774.. though there were plenty of city shirts in the Seville sections

About 13 days notice to organise a trip abroad, I doff my cap to those that went. Going to Dortmund which could be a dead rubber but we had the luxury of booking 8 weeks in advance.

Same here. I usually choose 1 away in the group stages. I wanted Seville but impossible with work due to the short notice.. so Dortmund it is

Just finished watching it after Recording it. Thought we were great.
