City v Real Madrid - Live Thread

by blueboy Tue Apr 26, 2016 4:53 pm

Don't really have to big this one up...our biggest game of the season so far.

A final awaits, but a performance tonight is a MUST.

Vinny hit the nail on the head - "We need every player to turn up for the game. If they can't get up for this game, then they shouldn't be in football"..."We hope the fans who turn up create a brilliant atmosphere...otherwise, why buy a ticket?"

I so wish I was there tonight. Feel very envious for those who will be.

From the presser, it seems to me Vinny will play. Is that a bad/good thing? Passion over fitness/form? It may make the difference.

Will he partner Otamendi or Manga? For me, I would have started with these two and left Vinny on the bench, however, I can see him going this way:

Hart
Sagna, Otamendi, Vinny, Clichy
Ferdy, Ferdy
Navas, KDB, Silva
Aguero.

Decent pressing to be fair.

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:00 pm

poor ball from silva when we had a decent chance.

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:05 pm

they certainly don't look better than us in the first 20 minutes

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:07 pm

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:11 pm

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:11 pm

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:12 pm

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:25 pm

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:26 pm

ITCHY!!!!!!!!!!

by Strange Blue Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:27 pm

Itchy wow thats a gamble from Pellers

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:29 pm

shocked he's on the pitch so early

by Strange Blue Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:31 pm

unfortunately its just as they stopped parking the bus & are on the attack

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:31 pm

they're having too much time with the ball. have we run out of steam already?

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:33 pm

decent enough first half

by Strange Blue Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:34 pm

Decent first helf this is going to be intresting

by blueboy Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:37 pm

Thought we've done everything perfectly.

KDB could possibly improve his passing, but overall, they look like WBA - just hoping for a quick counter-attack.

Let's just keep doing what we're doing....we'll get 2/3 clear chances and if we can take 1-2 of them, it won't matter what they do.

Great performance so far - well happy.

by TMG Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:38 pm

Good 1st half Not much between the 2
Both teams closing down well.
Hopefully Itchys pace will do em in the 2nd half

by **leopold** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:41 pm

I'll take that as a first half. We got forward well enough, but nothing in the final third which I hope itchy will sort out.

Serge seems to be playing on a two second delay for some reason, not sure what's going on there.

by Nijinsky Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:43 pm

Good first half. But why do bt bring in these rag bastards and scousers in to comment on us

by Strange Blue Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:44 pm

Itchy to score 2nd half.

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:52 pm

better off with martyn tyler

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:53 pm

kev just doesn't chase back at all

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:55 pm

why on earth is hart still pissing about with free kicks???

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:56 pm

poor challenge from kompany

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:58 pm

well played and chased Itchy

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:59 pm

Madrid still cheating. hate it.

by **Topdawg** Tue Apr 26, 2016 8:59 pm

by Guest Tue Apr 26, 2016 9:01 pm

Sitting back too much now, hope we are not happy for 0-0 too.
