Did you see much of him at Inter? Have man u ruined him?

Only in the champions league, seems to me he is a massive confidence player with very few fundamentals of goalkeeping. 
 

You can’t let an attacker win a header 3 yards out from goal. He’s terrified of leaving his line, and because he has no confidence he’s not evem doing what he is good at (playing with his feet).

After the other lad played great in their last game it’s on the manager, should have left him out. Bayinder would have been on top of the world after the last match and then straight back onto the bench, shit management. Which is lovely

Well thank fuck for Onana, I say. If it wasn't for him, school drop off this morning would have been a fucking nightmare.

 

Also, the Man City fans knew better than to try and gloat off the back of pasting Ipswich.

 

Only one who's got anything to say is the Everton fan.

He'll be hoping for his Steve Bruce payout.

Or Casa Old Trafford. 🙂

Two games to go in the CL:

 

Only 1 team guaranteed a place in the last 16 so far. 

Only 2 teams guaranteed to finish in the top 24.

Only 4 teams definitely out.

 

Can't be arsed to check what it's normally like at this stage in a normal Champions League campaign but seems good there's not going to be many dead rubbers and should be a lot riding on the last day? Wouldn't normally get a tie as important as City v PSG this early either. I like it.

I have to admit that the new format seems to be much better than I thought.

And some crazy errors and refereeing decisions. Doesn't really matter in the CL but on the night I'm sure it felt like it mattered a lot.

Winning goal somewhat “controversial” 😆

Put £5 on Barcelona who were down 3-1 at half time. Only got 9/2, but still, knowing how fucking bent the officials are when it comes to Barcelona I knew it was easy money.

When the fun stops, stop.

 

In all honesty, Betfair offers a free £1 acca every so often and one of those ridiculous 7 game accas came in at about 10/1, so I had a little cash in the account. Then there's a £5 free bet builder if you bet £5 on a bet builder. I put Joelinton to commit 2+ fouls, Bruno to be fouled 2+ times and Gordon to get a shot on target, which usually come in at around 1.8/1. So won around £15, plus the £5 free bet builder. 

 

I've been doing that same bet for the past few months. and it keeps coming off. So I get about £10 profit, plus £5 free bet builder.

My mate had Tyler Adams and Joelinton both to get booked on Saturday….there wasn’t an option for “in the same incident!!! 🤯”

 

after their disallowed goal we all put a tenner on a Kluivert hatrick at 8-1 😎

Man City take the lead in Paris with a goal from Jack Grealish… they appear to be wearing a strip designed by whoever was responsible for this

Edit: 0-2 Haaland, obvs…

PSG all over them. Hopefully Man City keep playing like this in the run up to our game. They look so vulnerable to the press 

[strawb 4501]

City will win the league imo, hot take I know.

[Dr Gloom 22885]

Not playing like this they won’t 

[PaddockLad 18127]

Anyone watching the goals show? Never really watched it before this season. Apparently it used to be all journos on the panel and it was, in the opinion of some, much better…. It’s not bad tbh, Matt Smith is always ok, Hargreaves & McManaman (meh) and one of those smug posh footy journos who enjoy chuckling at their own cleverness

Don’t think liverpool are all that, city will hit form. Even if they don’t they will close the gap, then break some more rules and have a stellar team next season. Enjoy the premier league, its a level playing field for everyone.

This version of Man City look vulnerable and have probably left themselves too much to do this season, even if Liverpool stutter. 
 

I’m sure they’ll be back next session after they refresh their squad but after watching that game I think we can get something at their place if we have a go. They hated being pressed - PSG were so good at closing down passing lanes, they even made Ederson’s distribution look poor.

Just watched the extended highlights so admittedly haven’t seen the whole game.

 

Ederson is a busted flush, the rotating goalkeeper thing has never worked. A keeper needs to know his defenders, even the subs. At least 3 of those goals are Edersons fault. 
 

They have no legs in midfield, Rodri papers over some cracks because he is so good but their central midfield is SLOW. 
 

Once it hits though they will go on a run. Sticking by my hot take.
