Very lucky just then, City!

Struggling to get Haaland involved

BleedingClaret · Post by **BleedingClaret** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 9:24 pm

Imo City need to go 442
Mainly so the full backs can push up
All congested in the central areas
Get 2 up top, big man little man
A mix of getting your full backs overlapping and some balls over the top will mix it up

That's a classy finish.

Need Walker on, bombing down the wing with some pace.

Come on City

PlasticClaret · Post by **PlasticClaret** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 9:30 pm

Utterly shambolic defending.

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 9:30 pm

There was only a ball width between the defender and post and that was the only place he could put it

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 9:31 pm

Brilliantly taken that!

Heck!
How's it not 1-1!!

Was going to include walker in my 442 post just above
City scored now but still could be vulnerable in this set up
I’d still go 442 and walker but for defensive reasons

Best DM I’ve ever seen is Rodri, levels above anything I’ve seen

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 9:37 pm

Ah Foden, that would have been some goal.

He’s outstanding isn’t he? Turned in a brilliant performance at the Turf about four years ago. Looked special that day.

Thought that was the equaliser

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 9:49 pm

How the hell did Ederson save that?

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 9:49 pm

Absolutely have to score there Lukaku

PlasticClaret · Post by **PlasticClaret** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 9:49 pm

City's defending has been awful the whole game.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 9:49 pm

Wow.
How did he keep that out!

HahaYeah · Post by **HahaYeah** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 9:51 pm

It just bounced off his knee.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 9:53 pm

He did move towards it though.

Darthlaw · Post by **Darthlaw** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 9:53 pm

£600k per week (that City don’t make) Haaland gets booked.

There’s a thread on here about Bury only just getting their ground back.

… romance of football and all that though

PlasticClaret · Post by **PlasticClaret** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 9:54 pm

Ederson Player of the Match?

PlasticClaret · Post by **PlasticClaret** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 9:54 pm

mostly because no one else has done much, aside from the goal.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 9:57 pm

Treble. Fantastic stuff.

The “knee save” may have been lucky, but that one from the corner at the end was top drawer

He made a great catch after the knee save then the save at the end kiept them in it tbf.

City very fortunate but they took the chance and Inter screwed up with theirs

Just shows what having trillionaire owners can buy.

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 10:05 pm

Joleon Lescott, it's a bit cringeworthy. Parading around like some club legend. Not saying he wasn't a bad player but does anyone remember him being that immense for City?

And don't get me started on Jake Humphrey.

Grealish on the pitch can be an absolute pain in the arse ,but showing tonight that it’s not always about money,ok he’s earning a fortune ,but deep down he wanted to win.

I watched on CBS - Thierry Henri, Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher. Not watched CBS before but it was good. Not the usual Sky/BT drivel. Seemed like they were given freedom to say/do what they want.

Well done city. That will be Burnley in 2025!!
