***City v Galatasaray CL Official Match Thread***

Is this another 2nd half drop off? WTF is Pep saying at HT

Same stuff every single week for two years now. Impossible to keep the intensity a full 90 minutes.

[CTID Hants]

Ake back passing the FK/restart after their subs, why?

[carolina-blue]

Ouch that looked like it hurt

[Nick]

Shite since doku injured

[zuricity]

Do the turk fans think they are at a Coldplay concert ?

[Mase]

We had the ball when the ref stopped it and he gives it to them from the dropped ball?!

He (and Semenyo + occasionally Cherki) are the only players we have these days who actually try to make a goal happen. Everyone else just looks for the obvious safe pass or hides from play

Opposition just gone to a full press and put pressure on us and we start to shit ourselves. Any team that has had a go in the last 2 seasons has usually got something

[PeterParker]

Ake, diabolical.

[Mase]

Savage desperate to find a penalty that doesn't exist

Galatasaray for Ake next year. Been good in the past, time to go

No they are not (city) it is all under control.

[PeterParker]

We really need a world beater as an attacking mid, someone consistent. Phil ain't that.
But who, that is the million-dollar question. Wirtz turned out to be Ali Dia.

We really were blessed with Merlin and Kevin.

[bigblue]

I struggle to think of a single player out there or injured in our squad who would start for City 3-5 years ago

Totally agree

[Mase]

O'Reilly is class. Saved us £80m

[CTID Hants]

Too heavy that Foden!!

[bigblue]

our inability to play obvious through balls to Haaland is going to drive me insane

[Indianablue]

Cherki wasted a good break then and played it backwards when we had 3 breaking ahead of him , just burning energy . Just fucked up a second break and took the wrong option. Haaland getting no passes until its too late.

Foden fucks up another easy cross. He could have rolled it on the deck and it was a tap in for Haaland. What has happened to him as a player.

Another counter and the wrong option taken, we are squandering chances up front
