VAR as it is implemented at the moment is a joke.

Needs to be clearer for the fans - replay on the screen and commentary so the fans hear what's being discussed, otherwise it'll be seen by many as another tool to cheat their team / favour the opposition.

Exactly. Transparency stops conspiracy theories.

All correct decisions so far but ridiculous amount of time which does seem to be added on either.

Over 5 mins for VAR decisions = 2 mins stoppage time. Explain that!

It's under review.

I think Schalke have given up. Fine by me.

And me too.
Get Aguero off. Jesus on.
Silva off early. Foden on.
I’d like to see this kid Humphreys get a game too.

Var is going to fail massively at this rate before it even gets a chance. Show what the Var man is seeing on the big screen so maybe the fans can actually see what the fuck is going on.

Other than that, carry on as you are City. Let Serg get his hat trick early on and get jesus on.

The last bunch of Germans to fail this badly in England was the Luftwaffe.

First 30 minutes we run the 6-4-1 around and then up the pace to force the mistakes and open them up. Superb.

Another park the bus team that aren't good enough to keep us out.

Forget van Dick and Kane, the real stuff is between Sergio and Raheem.

And the ref, it feels like we've bought him.

At least City are trying to do something about it by showing why it is on the screens. First I've seen of that.

[Saul Goodman]

Gundogan has been great again. Hes really played well in the deeper role.

Gotta get some subs on now: Humphreys for Laporte, Foden for Silva, and Jesus for Aguero

He’s French. They want to keep you in Europe.

Agree. The game and tie is won. Plenty of game time coming up. Give Kun a rest.

At the match. Schalke fans very noisy with the drums prominent. Clear penalty for a dive and a cheeky panenka by Sergio. Second goal was not offside. Lovely backheel by Raheem and Sergio scored by sheer determination. Ridiculously long VAR. Teams were ready to kuck off FFS. Lovely third by Leroy. QFs here we come.

[PeterParker]

Atleti 2-0 down at Torino. Did not expect Simeone's boys to be that soft.
