SB V City MATCH THREAD

[KunDB]

Starting eleven:
Caballero, Zabaleta, Otamendi, Stones, Kolarov, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Silva, Nolito, Sterling, Aguero

Subs:
Hart, Sagna, Fernando, Navas, Delph, Clichy, Iheanacho

Come on City Pep us all up.

I like the team, apart from Willy (bye bye Joe thanks for the good times)

[gavin]

Glad to see Nico back even though Kolarov did well at weekend. Kolarov seems to be very popular with the manager. Many were hoping they'd seen the last of him too!

[Swiss]

Because he's more useful in attack than clichy

[goat]

i had you down as a big fan of willy

[goat]

striker thats never scored for steaua

well, looks like his lucky day

[KunDB]

OMG this is the football I have dreamed about City playing for 50 years. Lovely to watch.

[gavin]

Great half of football. Bloody Sergio! But a great finish for his goal. Sterling absolutely magnificent.

Are we watching a different game?

Shocking first 10 min.

2 missed pens

sluggish passing.

Dinho having a mare

Nolito looking off the pace

Sterling playing well though.

Clearly a glass half empty personality then?

2 0 up away from home. Only Peps 2nd start, great passing and possession, raining chances and should have had 6 goals.

Unbelievably brillant.

[Swiss]

2nd half much better but I still stand by my comments on the 1st half.

We could have seen double figures tonight

[zacc]

that'll do nicely, starting to see the Pep effect.

[gavin]

Even with two missed penalties it is hard to understand moaning about that. We were mesmerising at times. Okay they helped us a lot with their approach and defending but surely we can just enjoy winning 5-0 away!?! Great night. I hope the return leg is nearly as good. I'll be there. This management and team deserve support. Football as it should be played. A joy to watch.

was a handy training  match

[Ludo]

Even Yaya could've managed a jog tonight.

[KunDB]

was a handy training  match

It would have been anything but with Pelle as manager and we would all be panicking about having to win the second leg without conceding.

The way we were set up meant we outplayed and out-thought them and they could not cope, that's what made it a made it a training match.

Another glass half-empty guy.

To be fair, we were 2-0 at the time and we'd missed 2 pens.

The opening 10 minutes were absolutely awful!

The passing wasn't great and we seemed sluggish.

The talk at half time seemed to have pepped them up.

Still think we could have seen double figures tonight!

[Ludo]

Yes we could easily have scored more but the general play was a great improvement on Saturday albeit against a weaker team.

We're playing a completely different system than we have done for two years so it's inevitably going to take time to adjust. But all in all a great night.

Another glass half-empty guy.

give it a week and you will be smearing shit up the walls screaming you hate pep

I am a reformed character now the lazy shits with the piss poor attitudes (give just enough and not a drop more) running/ruining the dressing room and club have been disfranchised by Pep.

[Victoria]

And the biggest trouble maker is on his way: Joe Hart 😁
