Total crap first half. These players were given a chance to make an impression but they don't look that arsed.

After seeing the changes in the line up not confident. 2-1 to them.

That is some rotation for an important game. This could well come back with  a bite on his arse.

Pep is making sure all the squad get their chance to stake a starting 11 claim.

This had surprised me a tad, but it just shows how strong our squad is that we can make this many changes and still look powerfully strong.

C'mon City

2. 1. City win

City XI: Trafford, Khusanov, Stones (C), Ake, Ait-Nouri, Lewis, Nico, Reijnders, Bobb, Savinho, Marmoush

Subs: Bettinelli, Donnarumma, Dias, Haaland, Cherki, Doku, Bernardo, Gvardiol, Nunes, O'Reilly, Foden

10 changes for Champions League match. Still good players but a bit surprised!

Match day has arrived

According to Sky sports,  City are in crisis

2-1 to City. At home, we are building trust again. Away, I have none against half decent sides.

All of a sudden, there is a 5cm 'tolerance level'

QuoteIn every other competition, offside is given to the millimetre; in the Premier League there is 5cm grace which is effectively the width of the green line.

QuoteGuimaraes, too, was just ahead of Dias but within the tolerance level.

So, yes, he was offside. This tolerance level also seems to be rather selectively applied.

Off side decisions should be decided by where your foot is, not by waving to your mum in the crowd or scratching your bollocks imo
