*** City v Juve - Official Match Thread ***

[Crossie]

Fucking bullshit.

Hate this bollocks waste of time.

It's like semi football

Bony needs sort himself or fuck off.

Buffon can eat my ball juice.

Wtf was the Kompany sub all about????

[Mike J]

We fucking shit ourselves in this comp. we NEVER play our normal game in it

Nasri should have been hauled at half time. Shite. Bony seriously needs to up his game as well.

[zabbadabbado]

Thank fuck i am on a rolling contract on BT Sport, we lose in Germany and I am fucking it right off.

McMannamam can hardly hide his delight. That commentary was shocking. English club treated appallingly.

Bony is dog shit.

That is all.

[kinkylola]

so ... a night to fucking forget. awesome. fucking hate europe.

[Original Dub]

It was exactly like watching us last season in many games.

Sloooooooooow.

I'm not sure if pellegrini told sterling to run into the space he kept running into, but we lost the width and pace he has brought all in one go.

It's like the players and the fans don't really care about the champions league.

[ruralblue]

Plenty games left.

I could and would gladly do 25 years for shooting Steve 'centre circle' macmanaman in the face. First time if watching bt sports and they are worse than sky. That man is a cunt.

I'm sure some will make a big deal at juve celebrating the way they just have, but let's have it right, we should have battered them and gave nothing in the end.

Totally deserved mugging by juve, and they've got every right to celebrate, effectively that's them qualified from the group!

Yep.
Plus, this was our golden opportunity to get the top spot in the group and we fucked it up at the first chance

[PrezIke]

Pelegrini was out-managed tonight. That is clear as well, and he's been very good up until now.

[blues2win]

Top European defences are miles better than in PL. Chances are at a premium and you absolutely have to take them. Two bad misses by Sterling, one by Bony. They took their best two chances. We can still get through this group. In fact we may well beat Juve away. Keep the faith.

[PeterParker]

How the fuck this thing keeps happening, really now.

We had the game in our hands, we were the better team for 70 minutes, but again, we fail to keep it together. Horrible debut for Otamendi, i have no idea why Demichelis was not the solutions, we gambled with Otamedi at a level where mistakes are not forgiven usually.

Fuck, forgot how it looks like to be a upset after a City game.

We need to win in Germany next fixture, no other solutions here.

[Crossie]

We have no fucking balls for European games. When we play our style we get smashed, when we play a European version of our style we get robbed.

The football is generally shit bar Messi and Ronald, that's it. A competition basically for 2 players.

[Beefymcfc]

Pellers was clueless in the end and relied on a nod from Sergio. Nasri offered near enough zero all game yet he takes off the only pace we have.

Turns to Navas, sits him down and plumps for Sergio to try and get it back. Too late sunshine.

I was enjoying the game, knowing we'd score at some point, but to see those 2 shot goals go in showed how naive we as a team (manager down) we are.

I still think we'll win this group but the pressure is now on.

Bonus - Rags lost.

Nothing more to say.

[carl_feedthegoat]

I said if any city fans are expecting a fair few goals from Bony on his own then your living in la la land............hes fuckign shit on his own in our team, tonight he looked like a championship player........you cannot miss chances in the CL.

As for Sterling , well...less said the better.

[Redna]

Pellers. Nasri.

It's a horribly familiar pattern isn't it!?!?

We'll draw/lose the next 2-3 games, then scrape through to 2nd place at the end.

Draw Barca, Bayern or Real in the next round.

I think we all agree that we can qualify, but we will now almost certainly qualify 2nd considering juve will only get better as players return.

Barcelona in March anyone?

[iwasthere2012]

That was dreadful. Pedestrian from the start. There's not one of then that could find a pass tonight. Constantly leaving the ball to someone else or running in each other's way. You swear they were only introduced to each other tonight.
Decision making poor.
Sloppy. Don't take our chances. Does this sound like Groundhog Day.

Never thought we'd come back from 2-1 down.
You'd swear they were saving themselves for the weekend.

[carl_feedthegoat]

And as for the atmosphere..............its fuckign pathetic for CL games...

[Beefymcfc]

The football is generally shit bar Messi and Ronald, that's it. A competition basically for 2 players.

We don't play our style though, as we seen tonight. We've played with pace and good passing, but was that there tonight?

Pellers decided to experiment, or at least trust 3 players to have recovered fully. Naive in the least to think 3 players who couldn't play 3 days ago were ready now.
