That will be the last we see off Foden this season

[carl_feedthegoat]

well done Phil and pretty clear he's going nowhere

He needs to play more - there have been premiership games where we have been coasting this season yet has not played a minute of any of them - if he doesn’t play more then do not bank on him staying just because he fuckign supports us - he wants to play and deserves to play ahead of so called senior players who have been playing average at best .

Rodri and Dave both our best tonight.

I love the way Rodri has settled right in.

Excellent player.

From what I know of the way his parents acted when he was playing for the kids and he got taken off I'm surprised he's still here

[ruralblue]

It's corrupt as fuck.

So chuffed for Foden. Play the kid more. Mendy bollox.

Finishing shit.

[Mase]

Our awful defence kept another clean sheet

[london blue 2]

Made up for Phil.

But this competition is a fucking joke.

[Beefymcfc]

Missed the 1st 40 mins but from what I seen we played well against an ultra defensive team who had plenty of help from the match day officials.

Take 2-0 against our main competitors in the group, any day of the week. Puts us in a very strong position and I'd suggest one more win and a draw puts us through, topping the league.

Play like this against any of the top teams and we go out —- Fact —

We just played against , arguably , the worst team in the competition.

Anyone still have doubts this is a pile of bullshit with the officiating? My God I've seen straighter WWE. Happy to pay for travel and a Seasoncard but they can fuck off getting me to go and watch open corruption.

A handball Onto the head/shoulder of Agüero and it never got more than 1 replay and then forgotten about .

That was just one fucking incident out of a few others .

Pep just doesn’t understand why we sigh at this competition .

Well he made a big show of kissing the badge when he score so I don't think he's going anywhere

Who just happened to beat one of the other teams in our group 4-0 on match day one! How are they the worst in the competition?
Serious question.

[City64]

Cant believe the state of the officiating tonight absolutely bent as fuck in a bent as fuck UEFA competition .

Carls alright, he'll calm down in a few minutes.

So VAR and the on field ref were a complete waste of time.

[nottsblue]

We won.

Yes we should have scored five again but once again the officiating conspired against us.
Another clean sheet and I can’t remember Ederson having a save of note to make.
Thought Mendy improved second half. He has a way to go yet before he’s fully up to speed but he has to start somewhere and the more game time he has the quicker he’ll get there

Two wins from two and two games against Atalanta coming up, who lets not forget were thrashed by Zagreb and beaten at home by Shakhtar. Another four points from those games and we are through with games to spare. It’s all we can in qualifying.

[zuricity]

So , the Ref is a Dutch "Turk".

htf does he not understand football ??

[Harry Dowd scored]

Fuck me spuds got a right tatering tonight

[Nigels Tackle]

So , the Ref is a Dutch "Turk".

htf does he not understand football ??

thanks bernardo

Pep "I'm so sorry, Foden deserves to play more"

I don't understand. Is it not Pep's job to pick the team. If he thinks he's not going to play a lot send him on loan. Next season once Silva is out of the picture he'll probably get more minutes. But this season, why keep him here?
