Most City fans and Pep are frustrated at the club's treatment by UEFA. The question for me is how you try and find success despite their apparent corruption. I hope VAR will help next season, but this season we just have to get behind the team, like we did in the first half at home against Liverpool.
We always get behind the team on UCL nights pal , even all the tourists and day trippers try their best ! Its erm fucking UEFA we have a major problem with !
Sorry mate, it can regularly be quiet for PL and CL matches at home. We generally have great support away. I know the tourists/day trippers dont help, (and for CL matches, I have frequently had away fans sitting near me).
It's not unusual for the away fans to be noisier than us, for large parts of the match. There have been a few matches like Hamburg, and Liverpool (first half), where the atmosphere is really rocking, it would be great to get that going more consistently. Hopefully when we get safe standing, that will help.
I can understand Pep's apparent frustration that Ian Cheeseman is reporting.
It's does feel like a circle with UEFA, I am not sure how we are going to break it? We feel badly treated and boo the anthem, they don't like the booing, they give decisions against us, we boo more... they get more determined we will not succeed etc.
