***City v Leverkusen CL Official Match Thread***

[nottsblue]

They were both shit. Discussing who was worse is irrelevant. Neither are good enough for us at present and any evidence they will come good is about as hard to find as a nun at a orgy.

For me, Reijnders is turning into a big disappointment as well after his debut.

100% the guy is incapable of shooting either side of the keeper. Aït Nouri a complete waste of money as well. Softer than Nigel Clough

That chance of Reijinders at the end of the first half when it totally opened up for him and he tapped it straight at the keeper was a joke.

My daughter screamed when he did it! Had to tell her our youngest was in bed and she can't scream... But I felt like doing the same

[Outcast]

It can't be that all the players are that shite, Pep's system is flawed and outdated, his great DM's of the past and present must have polished over so many cracks. Without Roderi its showing. Ditch the passing game and play to the current player's strengths as suppose forcing them to play your system that is obviously isnt working.

Divine Mukasa scored a hatrick against Bayer. He'd be no worse than Bobb or Savio

[zabbadabbado]

Almost died today.

A robber came into my house with a loaded gun and aimed at me.

Luckily, the robber that came in was Savinho

He suddenly started shooting and missed every shot. Thank God

Agreed, he's a terrific prospect. I just cannot fathom what Pep sees in Savinho, he's a complete donkey. I can accept Bobb, he clearly has major talent but needs to up his performances, he rarely does much wrong. I'm convinced he'll come good but Sav ?.....Nah !!!

Pep on X

Pep Guardiola: "Too many changes.

"It's what I said; always I believe that the long seasons [playing] every two days, three days, two days, three days everybody has to be involved. But maybe it was too much seeing the result.

"I think they played to not make mistakes, instead of playing to do what we have to do. When you're thinking to avoid, to don't punish the team, you're not free or relaxed. But not just with the ball, without we were close but not aggressive enough. And they're a really, really good team. Congratulations, Leverkusen. But it is what it is. I take absolutely full responsibility, but I think I see them and I like everybody to be involved. Being a footballer when you're three, four, five, six, seven games don't play, it's tough. But maybe it was too much..."

His obsession with the number of games played is going to fuck us up again, fine to rotate one or two but he now sees mass rotation is a fuck up, you would have thought it obvious for a normal mind, not so for the "genius "

All those seasons we won the title, when it got to the business end of the season he always stuck with the same team and didn't rotate a lot. That worked and always got us over the line.

These players are athletes with the best sports science facilities available. They're literally paid millions to kick a ball If they can't play a few games in a week then sell them
