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

[PeterParker]

Bernie as a false nine is not working at all.

[Mase]

Why can’t they pass to a player in blue?!

[gmercer1]

We NEVER have anyone run across the front post when we put crosses in

[Nigels Tackle]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[sheblue]

We need more from bernie.

[Mase]

We need more from bernie.

Very quiet so far.

Need Grealish, the Villa Grealish, to just run at them. Get him on at 50 mins if there’s no difference

Foden not starting was a huge mistake but the tactics we we playing today are fucking baffling .

Slow football with no penetration upfront .

Doesn’t help Kev just passing them the ball every time he has it. He needs to come off.

Has the Madrid goalie made a save yet?

More penetration in a fucking Mills And Boon novel

I know it’s for us to break and it’s for every team to play their own tactics but the type of football Atletico play is God awful. Even Pearce tried to play a little football now and then.

[carl_feedthegoat]

Can Rodri give the ball away anymore today ?

[Mase]

Ref looks totally overwhelmed. He shouldn’t be referring at this level.

[gmercer1]

Last 16 weeks of a champions league and you have a team who are not even trying to attack. Absolute fuckin shocking

[PeterParker]

Can't blame Atletico, they know what they are and they are not hiding it.
We are not at one of those moments we spoke about: what to do when things are not working?

[Mase]

Foden and Grealish on at halftime please. Sterling and Bern totally anonymous

[sheblue]

Already I am thinking about our penalty takers for the next leg.
Horrendous shite this from anti football fc.

As expected. These are a horrible team to play against - anti-football at its worst.
They have started the time wasting already. Important we do not concede an away goal.
We can shake things up at half time but it is the second leg that decides this tie.

[carl_feedthegoat]

Does Sterling ever turn up in the CL ?

[Nigels Tackle]

need a stronger beer

Away goals no longer count double
