Think Carrasco might have gotten to the ball if he hadn't made the foul. We were lucky of course.

Looks like Simeone has gone to the back 3 again...

James has been awful with his crossing.

I wish we would try to play the bloody early passes to him! Fabregas once said this...

LOL

All started from Werner getting in to block the set piece...

Having so much of the ball but being absolutely braindead with it. WHEN WILL THIS PAIN END!?

Werner been wanting that early pass and pointing where he wants it but nothing forthcoming. lol

#VesperOUT

OH GOD! NO SHOOTOUT PLEASE!!

Erm, who is gonna take the penalty tonight IF we get one?

Other times.

I don't know why are people surprised that we have 2 keepers on the bench. It's been that way all season and teams can have 12 subs in the Champions League!

Like I said before, will gladly take the most boring game, most boring 0-0 in history tonight.

I suppose we all can argue till the cows come home about Giroud and his goalscoring record but if we're being honest, if he doesn't score, he doesn't contribute enough for someone leading the line. If you have been reading or watching Tuchel's comments about our attacking play, it's clear that he wants more than just someone putting the ball into the net from the person leading the line (e.g. his comments about Havertz last week).

I want to see the same bashing energy you always give for Werner.

Are you gonna pile on Ziyech for getting (undeserved?) starts? 👀

It's been that way all season...

Now with the graphic...

We only have 9 subs out of a possible 12. Christensen is unwell apparently. Kovacic and Ziyech each 1 YC away from a suspension.

Confirmed Starting XI: Mendy Azpi Zouma Rudiger James Kovacic Kante Alonso Werner Havertz Ziyech Bench - Kepa, Caballero, Pulisic, Giroud, CHO, Chilwell, Gilmour, Emerson, Anjorin

You're really tempting fate there, FB...

Have we ever paid over 100 million on a player? The most we have paid is just over 70 million on Kepa and Havertz and that's only a bit higher than what City paid for Dias. Moreover, if City were willing to pay big for Messi last summer, there's no reason why they can't or won't go big for Haaland, especially when he can be a long term asset, more so than Messi. Pep doesn't even play with a striker? He had Lewandowski at Bayern. He plays Aguero and Jesus at Man City but one is too injury prone and the other is not reliable enough. Guardiola dislikes Raiola...does anyone even like Raiola? The board also don't like Raiola but that's not exactly stopping us from targeting Haaland/ Real Madrid aren't exactly overflowing with money right now and they seem more interested in getting Mbappe. You could argue that Fred and Sanchez were not worthy of the money they were asking for while we had the Sarri factor with Jorginho and on hindsight, can't say City have lost much at all by missing out on those signings. But on the flip side, we have no stability whatsoever and god knows when this project will actually come good. City have the stability and can guarantee quicker success than us.

That's from Daily Star though and apparently, there's a 150 million price tag on Haaland...
