Title: away at Real Madrid
Post by: KunDB on February 26, 2020, 18:47:36
Ederson. Walker, Laporte, Otamendi, Mendy, Rodrigo, Gundogan, Mahrez, De Bruyne (C), Bernardo, Jesus

Subs | Bravo, Sterling, Aguero, Silva, Fernandinho, Cancelo, Foden

No Aguero or Fernandinho or Sterling. He's full of surprises is Pep.

C'mon City

Bit surprising again away in the knockout stages of the Chumps. But he's the man. That team can do the business.

As usual, an interesting team selection...

KdB playing an advanced role.

Big difference to watch when you get two good teams wanting to play football and attack. Real pass the ball around really well.

There's so much space in the middle that we need to make use of.
Title: Re: away at Real Madrid
Post by: Rowley Birkin QC on February 26, 2020, 20:27:26
Agreed. We look a bit lacking in the middle. Defence struggling to find players to pass out to.

I’m starting to hate Mendy. Useless clown.

Mendy is like bambi on ice

We need to be more confident in possession. They can't get rid of the ball quick enough.

Laporte down now. We've had no luck this season. Could be tricky from here on.

Great save by Ederson before. I'm sure if it was Alison it would be save of the century.

The one player we could not afford to lose to injury!!
Title: Re: away at Real Madrid
Post by: Rowley Birkin QC on February 26, 2020, 20:52:28
Looked a bit more stable since Fernandinho came on.  Gundogan finding a bit of space. Good game this.

We need to grab a goal.
Title: Re: away at Real Madrid
Post by: gavin on February 26, 2020, 20:56:39
Jesus on the left and defending mostly is a shock but he's been great apart from his chance. Decent first half but we need to sneak a goal and could have done so on a couple of occasions.

Played quite well but another defensive aberration gifts them a goal.

We can win this now!

Go on Kev lad! Let's have another!!

Great win but feel we should have had 3 in the end.

That ref will be getting sacked in the morning.

Whatta win

Three errors to gift them their goal. Mendy a waste of space.

Great result and well deserved. Lovely to see Ramos  banned from the next leg too and we scored a bloody penalty!
Title: Re: away at Real Madrid
Post by: gavin on February 26, 2020, 22:00:11
A fantastic performance and result. Jesus was absolutely immense all over the pitch. KDB was dangerous and took his pen beautifully. Raheem played his part when he came on too. Fernandinho was excellent at the back. Very happy indeed with that. Got to back ourselves to go through now.

Will catch up later. Great result. Come on City!!!

Think you need to sort your work out! Surely they wouldn't have minded you being 10 mins late for such an important event! Hope you saw at least the equaliser?
Title: Re: away at Real Madrid
Post by: Rowley Birkin QC on February 27, 2020, 08:17:36
Saw the equaliser. You can't be late for work when other people are relying on you.

Mendy and Otamendi are massive liabilities and this is why we haven’t won the CL yet. Too many obvious weaknesses not properly addressed.

mendy was a left back god before his injury, might be more to it
