man city new invincibles

Thoroughly outplayed yesterday unfortunately. The run was always going to come to an end - its just a pity who it was against.

They played a very high line against us as well as putting us under immense pressure when we played out from the back.

Had been reading a lot about Martial however I thought he had a great game yesterday and was a real thorn in our side- he held the ball up well - our CB's will be disappointed.

KDB & Sterling were not great yesterday and Sterling had his customary miss against Utd.

Even Cancelo who has been our best player recently had an off day.

Southampton and Fulham up next so we should be fine there - cant see anyone coming close to us for PL but the real goal has to be CL - nothing else will do

Going for 5 0 City. Neymar and PSG are overrated. Pep will confirm himself as greatest gaffer of all time. Resting Cancelo, Rodri and Sterling for the final . Di Maria is shocking.

PSG were always a bunch of chokers.

Di Maria must have some agent.

Game ruined. Never had any time for dimaria.

Man City have champions league sown up.

Just outclassed over the tie, didn't choke

The performances over those two legs were as good as we have played in a long time.

Solid and composed at the back. Stones has really benefitted from having Ruben Dias beside him - Dias makes him look a superstar because he is so dominant. I would go so far to say he will be better than VVD very soon. He is only 24 or so.

No idea how Fernandinho didnt get a card last night. He was superb mind you.

Foden, KDB & Mahrez worked their socks off and never gave PSG any peace.

Sterling's form has completely fallen off a cliff - I would like to see him playing better so there is more competition for places.

PSG are a different beast without Mbappe - Neymar is over rated IMHO.

This is the best chance we will ever have to win the CL - have to take it

Big fan of Mahrez who doesn't get the same exposure as KDB nor Foden, but in fairness the three of them are different gravy.

I'd like to see City do it.

They've some panel when you see the bench.

Remember this dude?

He might only have to go back to the tattooist and change a 1 for a 2.

Kane saga is dragging on and on - definitely not worth £160m

I see Lewandowski being touted as a target if Kane doesnt come.

At 32 we wouldnt get many top years out of him so it would be a stop gap

What age is Aguero? surely they are similar age

Taylor · July 27, 2021, 07:30:52 AM

33 but he had been picking up a lot of injuries.

Lewandowski is a gamble that we cannot afford to take this season

£160m is nuts. I still think city should be punting for Haaland instead but what do i know

What's nuts is that a team with (by top level standards) moderate income streams has nearly a full team of subs every week that earn >£100k a week. And that's just the amounts that they're declaring in their accounts ffs.

They're the epitome of everything that is wrong with football and fair play.

So any chairperson who doesn't do their utmost to maximise any potential income from City would need a good shoeing.
