Thought we played quite well against another park the bus outfit. We’ve had chances and we’ll get more second half.

Please, can we stop with this idea that we can throw everybody forward and think that their pacey players won’t get chances, that’s their only tactic.

Carry on with the pace we played after their goal and we will get back in the game.

Main issue is Akanji playing in Stones’ position. He’s doing his best but he’s just in not good enough for that role. He receives a lot of the ball but doesn’t do enough with it. We’re missing Stones in there.

Foden has got into the game a bit more in the last 10 minutes but we’ve missed him in a central role.

This game is there for the taking. We’re the better team. We can still win this.

Foden wide is a fucking disgrace. He's mustard through the middle. Haaland? Put it about, lad, too soft, so far. Asking Akanji to get on the edge of the box is nuts, I feel for him. We haven't really done enough. Yet. Rodri, KDB, and Foden need to take this on. It would help if Foden came central, and Bernardo went wide...where he has been really effective against these oppenents. Not great that. We either get on top, or fall to a 2nd. A bit disappointed by that.

Our corners are a waste of space.

Incredible how players of that quality can't take a proper cross.

Haaland needs to box clever and drop to the floor

Its not Akanjes fault, he has proven loads of times he cant do that role for us. Why pep thought he could do it against one of the best teams in the world il never know.

Stones for walker would be my sub.

We are sleepwalking out of this competition and we only have ourselves to blame

Cheating cunts

U can already see the ref and how he's gonna fucm us

System not working as predicted he's moved the most in form player out wide to accommodate kev who plays well one in 5

Haaland other than one thing anonymous and should be dropped for alvarez

Walker not fit

Stones a must

Stressed and you can see the players are too

I was worried when I heard bern say "we were really up for it last year and wanted to repay the fans v madrid" as if they weren't as arsed this year !

Sound common sense, beefy and Aaron

No panic.......




.........yet

Don't be daft, he is playing well , what would stones have done any better .stop rubbishing players for no reason.

Yet when a pub team throw evrything at us in the last few minutes to getr a goal back, we shit ourselves and invariably have success

luck is the only thing separating the 2 sides

You could argue that phil, tin tin and Bern are not working.

phil has gone missing in the first 45 minutes.

De Bruyne's delivery from wide in good positions has been poor. Would move Foden inside and put Doku on for De Bruyne.

They’re Stoke with expensive players.

Pretty accurate description TBH.

Please get Foden central.

Dokus big issue is he will give the ball away, fatal in this game.

Last 10 or 15 only

You can see why Walker played. They’re quick and dangerous on the break. Akanji’s been ok to be honest. Kevin’s radar off a bit. Grealish has been good. His full backs on a yellow. Carvajal. My change would be to swap Foden and Bernardo. Foden hasn’t really been in the game stuck on the right.i If Stones can manage half an hour fine. If not obviously not, Overall we played decently. Doku might come on on the right late on.

Don't think Phil and Kev ever well work together. Trouble is they're probably our best two attacking players.

We've been much better than them but as per usual we can't break down a defensive team and we can't manage teams that just want to hit us on the break.
A tad lucky with their goal but how many times has thsi happened this season. One shot one goal
