***City v Dortmund |Official Match Thread***

[Grandad Rosler]

They've been compact and difficult to break down but we've stopped them creating anything clear cut. Stamp out the mistakes and we'll be fine I reckon

[sheblue]

A bit too sloppy and lucky not to be 1-1, that was a goal 100%. Ed was blessed to get away with that cock up.
Rodri, never a pen, too soft.

Anyway if we can settle and up our game this tie is there for the taking.

[Mase]

Understandable that the players are nervous. The quadruple and never winning CL is mentioned by the media and commentators every minute. They know what they’re doing.

[Harry Dowd scored]

I swear this competition is like the "Anfield curse" for us. We play sloppy, make stupid mistakes, really scared.
We have a mental issue with this.

I’m sure it comes from the manager having an inferiority complex about City in Europe

[City64]

And BT sport is a fucking joke absolute shit commentary

[Burt]

We're fine. They are decent in Europe and there's no mugs left in the competition keep pressing City!

[nottsblue]

Expect the referee to try and even out the fuck up he made for the disallowed goal in the second half.

Definitely need a second and possibly a third

[Mase]

I can see Can getting a second yellow and being sent off and everyone using that as an excuse - because he shouldn’t have got the first one.

[johnny crossan]

we all know we're lucky to still be in this -

[PaulieIrish]

Guys, while the ref got it wrong for the penalty, awarding it for a high boot or connection to Rodders head, was it still not a foul given that Can's backflick made connection with Rodders thigh and was nowhere near the ball?

To be fair, we’ve had shit decision after shit decision in this comp. we deserve a bit of luck.

[Hazy2]

Is that our worst 45 of the season ?

not even close. but not great either.

Most nervous I have felt with sloppy play Bob

Have you seen their advert for the FA Cup semi that we are not in? Fuckin jizz stain of a channel.

As for "their" goal, he's going in with a stretched out leg , always a foul , he is not tackling with the inside of his foot as you normally do going into a tackle.. Always a foul.

I think we will be ok, we need to go at them , goals will come.

[london blue 2]

Must be used to no pressure. We’re taking far too long on the ball.

Are you serious? If we had a goal chalked off for that we’d be screaming conspiracies. Never a foul, if anything Ed clumsily boots Bellingham.

Yes it was a penalty. Although not vicious, just clumsy. I've seem worse given.

Haaland not stepping on the badge.
