Champions League 2016/17

Not a penalty, but no way that's a yellow card for diving!

I think it was, looked like he was going down before keeper got near him.

 

[Kandi1977]

Monaco is a very good side. City can barely get out defence at times.

Boom Monaco again

 

[the dza]

City could get a hiding if their heads go now.

 

[Kandi1977]

1-2. This Monaco side does exactly what they did to us. Press high and hard, and play quickly.

 

[Denmark Spur]

Game of the season without any doubt

Hugely entertaining

Monaco have some incredible players

Tbh, I think they look even better tonight than they did against us

 

[paxtonwolf]

With slightly better finishing, could have been 1-4

 

[Kandi1977]

Tbh, I think they look even better tonight than they did against us

Perhaps. But the tactics are the same. Play it in behind early. And City are playing a suicidal high line with no pressure on the the ball.

 

[NaijaSpurs]

Very entertaining for neutrals

I thought Monaco bossed us at their ground, but I don't think they were amazing at Wembley. IIRC they had about 3 attacks and scored twice, we had all the play.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Penalty aye aye

 

[Kandi1977]

Stone wall penalty that.

 

[paxtonwolf]

It amazes me why players try that stupid run-up

 

[Kandi1977]

My word that's a tinkle poor penalty. But predictable when he had to wait so long to take it.

 

[Kandi1977]

Are there any city players that are not booked yet?

Yep, the ref waited aaaages and allowed De Bruyne to kick something off the pitch and then waited aaa-aaa-aaages before blowing the whistle. Terrible pen though. Good game.

We were the better side at Wembley. It gave away a quality goal and a really soft one

At their ground they were miles better and are by far and away the best side we have played in sometime

 

[Bullet]

Monaco are comfortably the best side we have played in a couple of years at least IMO

Less than a year ago Borussia Dortmund smashed us 5-1 over 2 legs. I know Poch picked a weak side, but they mullered us.

 

[the dza]

City fans are moaning, but the officials have got all the big calls right imo.
