***bayern v city official match thread***

[twosips]

Yeah of course. I know there are exceptions and the CL has been the main one (though i think we'll turn that around now). The FA cup final debacle is another but i do think we at least tend to play decent in the vast majority of big games. Even in defeat - the rest of the first bayern game for example where we did start to fight back, or the fight back against united where we were down to 10 men, or the chelsea game where we lost due to Hart's blunder..

Mentality I think.

We started tonight frightened & ended with no fear at all.

Took us a while to get that with the rags, but now we have it. Started in the Cup semi.

I would not say very good, Garcia was shocking on the second goal, we scored 3 goals tonight none of which was from our lone striker Dzeko, nor did he have direct impact on them. That said, I think you missed the point: they are not who I would pick in our starting 11.

It's a team game , Edin worked hard , off camera. Honestly.

He had a good 'off-the-ball' game to be honest.

I think you are all bullshitting me. I left for work this morning with the game 15 minutes in. We couldn't get a foot on the ball and were getting absolutely dicked. Then I read all this.

Great joke. Really. Very well coordinated. How you got the Teamtalk and other websites to play along is very well executed. Nice one.

"if two sides are even on points at the end of the group stage, then their head-to-head record determines who goes through. If that record is even, the side who has scored more goals away from home in the two matches between the two sides in question progresses."

This has really riled me as its totally fucking amateur. It's cost us potentially a million or so in prize money, coefficient points and an easier draw.

No. it hasn't.

What's the news on Micah? Fucking glass that lad is

[Tony P]

Just got in after a 800km round trip. No voice, we sang and sang and sang!!!

Good man! How did it feel after 12 minutes?

No idea, but just had a go at him on another forum and got a load of grief.

[phips]

just got to watch this.

the only thing i could take from this:

if Arsenal want Micah for 10m, sell.
Kolarov should never play defense
Lescott can't play in any big, important games
We cant score against good clubs without either Nasri or Silva in the team

There's a lot of can't's and never's there. Sure there must be something positive? Teeny weeny something?

Your being sarcastic right???

Its so hard to pick up on these days with so many folks wittering, arguing and falling out.

[Tony P]

Pretty flat, we all thought we'd be on the end of a tonking. But then we started to play our game and hope came back.

Highlights: shutting the Bayern crowd up. The Poznan. On the way out (no segregation at Bayern on the concourses) every Blue singing 'We never win at home, we never win away' over and over again to the obvious amusement of half of Munich.

[Biamp]

0?

[Biamp]

Solid team performance, picked it up well after going down 2-0. Now the question will Hart be in goal on Saturday?!

Sounds immense mate, the City roller coaster in full flight :-)

[zuricity]

0?

I know that , but does phips ? We had very few chances, those we got we took. Even Edin had a good shot saved in the second half. That was a hard won victory. In the end i think Bayern had 14/15 corners. Nevermind Silva, how bad are they at taking corners?

[dazby]

I know that the thickos at ESPN didn't mention it but both of their goals are offside. Miller is just plain off and mandzukic comes back from an offside position (but it is close)

Great win.

[Goaters 103]

Milner and Fernandinho were superb last night. Zabba put the Ribery fire out when he came on and the back 5 grew in to the game after a shocking start. Edin was a decent outlet up top, and Silva brought us back in to the game. Even Garcia was functional last night in what was arguably his best game for us.

Navas put over a couple of great crosses which led to 2 goals, and was also wasteful with the ball as well - a typical winger. In short, a result we should be proud of but only City could go there with a B team, spot them a 2 goal start, win and still end up getting a kicking in the press.

Regardless of the innocence of it, for the staff and players not to know that 4-2 would win us the group - given they are paid zillions as well to know such stuff - is a bit piss poor.
