Sevilla (A) | Post Match Thread

[Pelegrinni]

Gomez did a fantastic job tonight.

 

[chaddblue]

That’s the way Villa would have ended if we’d got the 2nd goal

Total domination without stretching ourselves. Key players taken off. Thought Akanji was superb

Hopefully spurs will have a much tougher test tomorrow night and with 24 hours less rest it gives us an advantage

 

[braut]

Alas, Haaland is no Nunez is he?

All those tap-ins seem to be beneath a player of Nunez' calibre.

 

[NQCitizen]

If we won't win it this year, we may as well not bothering entering it again.

I'm not betting against Bayern though.

 

[Dave El Magico]

Superb performance and perfect start to our Champions League campaign. We definitely shouldn’t hear any moaners on this tread now!!! To all those who go on about Haaland only scoring easy tap ins, I would just remind them that you have to get there in the first place and he just does it with ease. Come on let’s have a repeat on Saturday please.

Boring game. Good result. Ugly shorts.

Good game, team played well, great result away from home, kit looked stylish.

waistcoat, Haaland was born in England, he isn’t doing much later this season, pick him for Qatar.

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

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

Thats not true.

 

[blue whippet]

Phillips passing ability is very good.

Yes he did very well when he came on.

Fuck that, let the terminator get a full months rest…

Yo c'mon Unc. Those shorts were money!

Yeah he seems to miss hit or shots take a deflection uncanny how many times it happens in the few games he’s already played for the red scousers..

 

[waspish]

Comfortable win Haaland though machine of alien?

 

[Pollocks OG]

Good performance against a decent Sevilla on a poor run of form. However as the saying goes, you can only beat what's in front of you.

I thought Akanji looked like he'd been at City for years. He tired towards the end, but not only was this his City debut, it was his first game of the season, PLUS he's a new Dad with a balling sprog. He had a calm assuredness which kept the defence calm whenever under pressure. Brilliant debut.

Gomez had a good game too & showed some excellent touches & was defensively sound in the main. He's young & still needs to get to know us better, but if he continues as he is, we may have gone some way to resolving our LB problem.

It was good to see Philips back. We need him as cover/competition for Rodri. Rodri's looked a little tired over the last 2 matches & Philips looked on it when he came on & looks more like the player we expected. Now we'll have the option of the double pivot in tougher games.

That was way better from Foden & Palmer did well & slotted in seamlessly when he came on.

A good first CL Group game of the season. Roll on Saturday...

Spot on, agree with every point

Akanji , Gomez, Grealish and Phillips all looked promising tonight. Seville very poor though, so an easy stroll before the spurs game.

That's my first biggest takeaway.

All the "others" of our squad performed well and will push the starters.

The other takeaway is Foden shining again.

Haaland is just doing what he does.

 

[HelloCity]

Thats not true.

He was visibly upset at the “defending”. Didn’t want to credit Haaland at all which led to Lescott having to repeatedly jump in to say it’s his movement. Jake was then saying it was only because Sevilla are struggling in the voice of a grave digger.

 

[JewelZee]

He comes from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow

We are your overlords...

 

[Pollocks OG]

I'm not betting against Bayern though.

We look capable of beating anybody with the missing piece now up front. I'll be seriously disappointed if we don't get to the final

 

[the blue panther]

You can only beat what's in front of you. we did it comfortably; Chelsea didn't manage it in their away game.
Some very good performances all over the pitch, and I thought Foden looked top class tonight. Especially pleased about Gomez and Ekanje; the latter looked real quality - a snip at £17m - not up against a lot but looked strong and can really play.
Big one next against the Spursies.

 

[Big Ellens Bell]

Inspiriing performance especially after villa game. Particularly pleasing to see Cole Palmer getting valuable game time in CL. Love to see local talent being given a chance to perform at the highest level. The future looks bright
