*****Manchester City FC v Atletico Madrid match thread *****

[Harry Dowd scored]

I’m trying to work out who is worse - Porto or AM for their snide tactics.

Are Wolves worth a mention?

Current BBC Sport website - strapline word association
City = "dirty" Dippers = "dreamland"

Good win, Is there still a Simeone fan club on here……

[Mase]

It’s widely accepted that Simeone is allowed to not bother shaking hands and cower off because “he always does it”. What if the players decide that they don’t want to bother with the pre match handshake? Can they just walk off?

Fucking negative twats they were no real surprise. Thought Pep called the team correct tonight wirh Foden and Grealish coming on to give fresh legs against tired legs - should bode well for the scouse twats. Good morale booster not that we needed it. Well done boys one game won and we move on

Foden is currently in a run of being anonymous if he starts, but super-sub if he comes on.

He does things that go unseen and makes the team tick (Martin Samual says the same thing )
Buck toothed klopp would play him every game .

We were never going to win last night until he came on.

Totally agree Carl, it's easy to notice those special moments like the perfect pass to KDB but often we miss the simple actions that a player like Foden does.
That 3/4 movement that cuts off an opponent,s passing vector, or merely standing still and occupying a space that stops an opponent taking advantage of.

Being anonymous often isn't a bad thingfor us but can be a very bad thing for our opponents.
Much of what Gundogan does is merely pass the ball on, keep a move flowing effectively.

What is amazing about Foden is that he is one of the very few players that can play in various positions , and excel in most of them .

There is a reason why opposing teams shit themselves if he’s playing against them .

Looks like Atletico fans had a Nazi flag and we’re doing nazi salutes at the game.
