⚽️THE FOOTY THREAD: PSG v Bayern

[fluid hips]

Finna go outside and enjoy the weather instead of sitting through a second half of this

 

[MetalMario]

‘Does Pep overthink big games?’ Has been said and discussed before.

 

[fluid hips]

Mahrez would feast in a game like this

 

[maxelite]

What a ball by KDB

 

[rolaholic]

What a tackle from Cornet

 

[Armada]

Don't think we played bad everyone knew what they where doing and wasn't any particularly bad play that half. Just got caught out on one moment really ball over the top, Pace and a ball over the top our biggest weakness if only walker stepped up played him just on. We were getting in behind but no final ball. Glad that we turned it up at the end of the half thats gotta carry forward

 

[LA Diggler]

Scrap the 5-3-2/3-5-2 and bring on Foden or Mahrez.

 

[Armada]

Back 5 for what? Rodri and Gundogan too...

If Pep loses this im done with him.

The pace man we had to adapt to that. Regardless of the one moment that shape actually slowed them down with how fast they want to go over the top with us. IF we played a back 4 against their attack they would've gotten over the top on us even more In that half. Similar to how they beat us and drew against us last year

 

[arstyle27]

Didn't like the lineup going into the march. O guarantee one of the Silvas starts the second half. Foden will be on not long after. City CANNOT lose this.

 

[nomadicsole21]

How are you holding up with City and the Blazers playing at the same time? Lol

I'm choosing City rn because its CL footy. Its sad I have more faith in the Blazers than I do City.

Blazers up at HT so we holding out good. We'll eventually win

The dissatisfied look on Pep's face makes my blood boil. Gotta make some tea before the 2nd half starts.

 

[Armada]

I do think Gundogan should come off for Foden would offer more threat and we need a bit more of that now to keep the pressure on in the second half

We are still holding out a high line tho. You can put 4/5/6 defenders out there but if you're pushing your back line all the way to the center line, any ball played in behind is deadly. I think we lost to them last time because Zinchenko or Delph was always out of position and made some dumb errors and we didn't put away our chances.

This aint the City way and never was. We hinder our attacking options when we do this. No midfield at all. You see Rodri, Gundogan just passing to our CBs and Fullbacks. We can't get KDB into advanced positions. Jesus and Sterling aren't coming back to help.

By playing the 5 back it disrupted 2-3 more things offensively and attacking is what we do best.

the sheikhs told pep he's not allowed to quit or they will kill his family, so he's throwing the match forcing them to fire him. only logical explanation

 

[jking0821]

It’s Lyon. Lyon! You can’t come out and play that defensively. They are good going forward but it’s not Liverpool. City should have came in ready to attack

 

[Verde Shuttles]

No way Fernandinho is making it through this match

Yea I really wanna know the reasoning behind playing 3 holding mids against a team like OL...

 

[LA Diggler]

About time, Pep really ****ting the bed again

 

[MetalMario]

Fernandinho out, Mahrez in.

 

[vtotheinay]

lyon should bring on dembele for memphis. he's giving them absolutely nothing right now and making a lot of poor decisions

 

[Coupé It]

Cancelo been City’s best player and he’s playing on the wrong side.

That’s how bad it looks.

 

[Coupé It]

Walker deserves at least one yellow so far. God damn.

 

[vtotheinay]

Walker deserves at least one yellow so far. God damn.

How much do you think they paid for favorable refereeing? 25 mill?

 

[Coupé It]

Wow.....yellow on Marcelo. Kyke Walker nothing. Stunning.

There could be argument made that Fernandinho should have been sent off as well.

 

[vtotheinay]

This refereeing is a disgrace. Truly

 

[tomdiginson]

Jesus feigned death. Ref comes over and he resurrects like he's Lazarus. Such partiality in the officiating. Kyle Walker stamps a man and the ref wants to play on.
