"Watched the last 20 minutes of that and city made about 250 passes .... 235 of them were absolutely pointless. Just back and forth between two players a load of times. It's like they are told not to even take a first touch."

They just don't understand do they? I am not a football coach but even I know that the opponent cannot score a goal without the ball. Why can't the rags understand this?

The other reason for passing the ball like this is to move the opponent to create space to be exploited with an opportunity to score. I see why the rags would not understand this though as their tactic is simply route one which exploits existing space.

Are the rags just being thick. Do they not really understand or are they just bitter ?

Have to say, this did make me laugh

You are such a wum pal.

Wind it in.

Well said, it is getting tedious now.

"God I hate the way city one touch pass it back and forth between two players rooted on the spot, separated by about 2 meters. I've only ever seen it from a pep team, are they trying to jack up the passing statistics? It's beyond pointless."

The rags don't understand football !

Not like the onus is on the opponents to even try and get the ball back, or anything!!!

If there is anything even close to justice in this universe then they will lose tonight.

Come on universe, get it done

Wasn't he one of those complaining after DeBoer was sacked that managers aren't given enough time in the job? He's a fucking classless ****.

A score draw is enough for them to be knocked out - Seville didnt look capable of scoring in the 1st leg, though

Yeah, unfortunately Seville are a bit crap.
Sadly i fully expect the rags to get through

Looking forward to seeing the huge "Mind the Gap" banner in the Sevilla end tonight, courtesy of those pesky blinders from Brooklands & Baguley.

If our Spanish friends manage to get it in, it will be comedy gold.
