Re: ***City v Dortmund CL Official Match Thread***

[sheblue]

Hopefully Pep doesn't overthink Sunday and puts out our best team. I don't wanna see ultra defensive tactics like at Arsenal. We can beat the scousers

Has to be the same team that started against Bournemouth.

Have to say it (unlike some on this site ) I’ll admit — we played an absolute blinder tonight. Full control, sharp, ruthless, the lot.
Sav still gives the ball away like it’s going out of fashion (5 in the first half alone), but credit where it’s due , he manned up, won 6 tackles , laid on the assist for Haaland’s second, and actually looked a threat on the wing for the first time in fucking ages !!
That’s the minimum I expect from him and he needs to do it week in, week out for the slagging off to stop.

Did Haaland get two? I'm sure Foden got two, Haaland one and Cherki one. Agree that it was one of Savio's better games.

I’ll rephrase - City’s second - cracking goal though .

The old City has returned, Silly flicks on the half way line giving away possession and back it comes , we are fucking around to much and its Dortmund that are on top

It is such a shame we lost 4 - 1. Still it might put a smile on some faces.

Arse, you know what i mean. - and at 3-1 we were looking shaky for a good 15 mins, our keeoer playing a blinder. Overall a much better performance to the tippy tapoy slow build up stuff we are used to seeing

Our keeper made 3 saves. Their keeper made 8. So if Donna played a blinder, how good was their keeper? Rather than looking at the small amount of negatives, a positive slant would be "their keeper prevented us hitting 12"! Overall, we played really well. Looking forward to more of the same on Sunday

Pisses me off that every keeper we face has the game of their lives when it's against us. Henderson for Palace is shite but when we play them he's prime Kahn

Think we're still everyone's cup final...

Carlos Borges (now Forbs) that used to play for us scored two against Barca last night.

I agree their keeper made some excellent saves and kept them from shipping 5 or 6. But when it was 3-0 we started to switch off a bit , they were pressing and scored with very little resistance from us. For 15/20 mind it looked like they could get another. We seem to lose concentration is what i'm saying. A fourth from Cherki eventually puts it out of reach. I've said in other posts that our performance was much better
