Other CL games

If they wanted nil nil surely Fernandinho would start? I think he's overthunk this one. Hope so

 

[Woland]

Walker, Otamendi, Mendy and Gundogan are all shite. That team should not beat Madrid

 

[Insignificance]

Pep is copying Brendan Rodgers at Bernabeu. Who would have tought that?

 

[rurikbird]

Gabriel Jesus is playing on the left wing, De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva are playing as the 2 “false 9’s” up front. Pep is being clever again. Similar tactics to the Carabao Cup away game vs United.

For Madrid, Kroos is on the bench, Valverde is playing pretty much a free attacking role a la Gerrard in his pomp. Even game so far.

I am loving this, city will break

Very strange seeing City sitting in a mid-block and not trying to press for the ball immediately. Doesn’t look anything like what we’re used to from Guardiola’s teams.

On the contrary, Madrid are pressing high and aggressively.

They lack the physical quality against a true Euro giant like Madrid, and Pep knows it.

Look at how Madrid are applying their press, it is superb.

I'll probs eat my words but fuck knows why you'd play KdB up front. It's like playing Fernadinho in defence. Total waste of his talents

 

[manwithnoname]

Mendy has got a touch of the Sakho's about him.

 

[Markeh]

That should've been a card

 

[rurikbird]

Mendy has got a touch of the Sakho's about him.

Which one?

 

[manwithnoname]

Which one?

The French one.

Who plays left back.

Oh, wait

 

[Markeh]

Mahrez just fell over, weak refereeing

I think he’s trying to turn him into Firmino. Almost worked here - he received the ball between the lines and played Jesus one on one.

 

[manwithnoname]

Real Madrid aren't all that

 

[Markeh]

Come on Madrid stop fucking about

 

[Woland]

Loving how shit Mendy is

 

[Markeh]

Vinicius you useless cunt

 

[moron]

Commentators need a room to go and suck every city players cock.

 

[rurikbird]

How did this not go in??

 

[manwithnoname]

Loving how shit Mendy is

He's a clumsy dopey cunt

 

[rurikbird]

Loving how shit Mendy is

Which one? 🙂

 

[manwithnoname]

Laporte injured. Excellent

 

[Markeh]

Oh no Laporte injured, such a shame

 

[hmmmmm1]

Junior slip was embarrassing. It was a tap in

 

[moron]

Oh yes, the old man is coming on.

 

[Woland]

Laporte is dead. That's their season done

 

[Modo]

Has he done his knee again?

 

[rurikbird]

Lyon leading vs Juve.

 

[Markeh]

Has he done his knee again?

Dunno but he's walking off by himself
