Shakhtar(H) - Post Match Thread

[come-on-barney]

Watched the game on TV as I’m Swedish, but felt that the atmosphere was different and one of the better CL nights at the Etihad. Boos were drowned out by singing, the atmosphere was good and people seemed to stay til the game was over. Was that the feeling by people watching live as well? Maybe the tide is turning which is great because we can really win this competition, we are that good!

It was and spot on mate. Have to say there seemed to be a lot of non season card holders and have to say the atmosphere was so much improved. I saw singing outside the ground before hand and all round the ground at times. The bluemoon drowning out the boos I think set the scene last night, well done South Stand. Atmosphere just so much more positive for a CL game. The stand up for the champions had everyone off their seat all around the ground. Probably one of the most enjoyable games in recent times.

Just posted this in the Talksport thread but...

Just said on talksport that the Suns back page tomorrow says..

CITY - NO CLASS

in reference to tonights Sterling pen incident.

In fairness - the Chelsea fan who hosts the show - absolutely slated the suns reported and said its just an excuse to have a go at City.

That so called journalist who rang up, obviously was a dipper what salty tears ‘No Class’ the club. They haven’t half got it in for us right now. We should do a Fergie and ban the press and media who spout shit like this.

The headline is a pop at both Manchester clubs.

Did you listen to the so called journalist who rang up from Sun? A complete hatchet job on us. All the discussion last night was about Sterling!

No surprise that Ian Ladyman is the first one to mention the penalty in the post match press conference.

this shirt front needs dealing with by the club, he is obviously stirring the shit to a new level now

Excellent all round tonight. Who do we want at left back against the rags. I’m thinking Delph.

Zinchenko has improved massively and is a genuine alternative to Mendy even in the big games - all credit to the lad - looked like he was available for loan/transfer said he wanted to stay and fight for a place and he has done just that

He can be a bit rash defensively at times but thought he was excellent last night. If he is happy to rotate really not sure why we want to move him on. A great rotation player for us and never lets us down.

Absolutely fantastic attacking display AGAIN. Usual suspects getting 8 and 9/10 marks, but special praise for Zinchy..by far his best game in a blue shirt. Well done son !

...and he was chatting and signing autographs in City Square after the Southampton match.

I've been in work for about an hour and two rags have both come up to me and asked me "What did you think to Sterlings dive?". And they weren't on the wind up either. How anyone can think that was a dive is beyond me. Thick as fuck.
