I never thought it was forgone conclusion that Man-city would win. if their up against quality that can attack. (though Chelsea did that in spurts) you always have a chance against Man-citys ultra high line.

Just a reminder (as if anyone needs it) that we have 3 times more European Cups than the combined total of the Oil Clubs Chelsea, City and PSG.
The 4-2 against United, Trent's last minute curler against Villa and Alisson's last minute header against West Brom hopefully a prelude to a beautiful journey in 21/22.
We've added Konate. Van Dijk and Gomez continue their rehab. The work begins now.

Tuchel got it spot on tactically, that's how you play City, THAT is the way to beat them, for all teams, 3 forwards/ or one or two forwards and one or two attacking mids, one on Rodri, Fernandinho or whoever they play at DM the other 2 not looking to press their CB's, but blocking the lines and creating a platform by which you're restricting the avenues CIty can play through and your other 7 outfield players can more easily see what's coming and to whomOriginally Posted by justme
A HUGE part of how this City team play and A LOT of their possession in games in their No6 and 2 CBs playing triangles between each other, while all City's other players are higher constantly making short runs between the lines, if you stop the triangle by badgering their DM constantly and block the lines with the two inside forwards, those other City players can't be found as high and they start to have to drop back deeper looking to be found and doing just that completely disrupts how 'genius' Guardiola has them set up to play, it's that simple to make life incredibly difficult for them

I hope all our lads are watching I EXPECT a Premier and Champions League double next season, no fucking excuses
Edit: And no fucking lame ass transfers from FSG and Edwards and none of the fucking sentimentality that saw us not strengthen after winning the Champions league, Origi, Shaq, Keita, Oxlade, Grujic, Wilson all out, permanently, no loans
Top quality or top emerging younger player in for Gini's controller role who can also play at No6 LCM and RCM, with Gravenberch brought in next summer too
Top quality, best available attacking mid available who can play LCM RCM ACM and the BEST available, no pissing around with second or third best options available on a free
1, preferably 2 of the best young emerging quality forwards available, 1 a No9/False 9 hybrid, 1 who can play all 3 positions but more suited to playing LFWD or RFWD
Because all of that is the start of the building for continuing success, with the younger talents adding far greater quality immediately than the players we move on and learning, growing and developing with the incredible players we have remaining, but ageing, from our Champions League and Premier League wins and we need to start making those steps NOW, we've wasted 2 fucking seasons

City have lost to Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea in the last four Champions League campaigns, Lyon being the fourth.
Best manager in the World.
Forget the money, forget the money.. it’s a red herring. Pep is the best bar none and City the best EVER English team.
Koala tea
His 5 champions league campaigns, those 3, Monaco & us.
Nailed on PSG knock them out next year.

Right then, let's all get behind Critch and his Blackpool lads in their play off final to get into the Championship tomorrow afternoon, Critch is a top man and has a great knowledge, relationship with and understanding of many of our youth players and should he wish to take any of them on loan, with Blackpool in the Championship, that could prove highly productive for us, our youth players and Critch

Baldy has bottled it yet again with another bizarre line-up and tactical decision in Europe. Ha fucking ha
