Magic Lamps

Not sure if crosses ans shots into the crowd are the way to go tho

Burnley looked the same, usually city find a way and in the pl there is no VAR to thwart their plethora of illicit goals.

Chilwell is looking very quick but not overly comfortable on the ball

And we shouldnt. He is not that good Kudos to leicesters attitude so far. I guess the fa have given some incentives to give City a hrad time today

dafuq why did we not make him sign a contract ffs. will only get a few quids for him now. shit management once again

No Schweinsteiger was for sure not the penalty taker for bayern. It used to be Ballack, then Ribery, then Gomez, then Butt, then Robben, then Lewandowski. Schweinsteiger only ever took 2 pens in regular game time IIRC missed one, scored one. Mata was our secondary pen taker when Lampard was not playing. I remember him missing at least two and i always hated his technique bc he hit them without any power and with so much curve. Which is shit bc in cases he aimed for the right side of the goal, the ball to end up in the net despite the curve it would need to pass very close to the goalkeeper.

You are right about the linesman and the luck part. But i think for the goalkeeper's side skill is a big part of it. Also Schweinsteiger and Mata IMO have always been poor penalty takers.

He does not have insane amount of minutes in his bones this season unlike Kante, Luiz or Azpi so I think he should be fine, he has played like 155mins within 4 days, he should stil have enoug hin the tank to play 2 more games this season.

Caballero is one of the best at stopping pens and i am sure he would have kept out agüeros weak pen. but maybe blaming kepa only was harsh. He still needs to heed the managers call instead of causing unnecessary drama. Gulacsi is ok with his feet. I get this modern goalie stuff but i think long range passing in a gk is a bit overrated. Having a perfect shirt distribution andgood first touch imo is enough for a gk and gulacsi posseses that

Frankfurt could have secured 4th place with a win today yet they crumbled completey...maybe not that mentally strong after all. They are a different animal away from home and we have to use this. From minute 1 we have to push them back on Thursday and score early so they lose their belief.

I noticed that too. At that age he already has huge and stable confidence which is one of the most important aspects of a top keeper. HIs antics in the league cup final cost us the trophy tho i am sure Caballero would have won it for us.

way to early for that but he surely is a great character. you could see how he lifted the team up not only today but numerous times this season and scored some very very important goals. Arguably the goal today and the goal away at cardiff got us back in the CL. When he is fit an in form he really looks like a quicker, bigger, more athletic version of Pogba.

job done, down to the beach. i fully expect us to completely drop the intensity now and lose all remaining matches lol

Really not impressed with Kepa's season but I guess he can still improve. Would have been more comfortable with Leno or Gulasci between the sticks tho.

Can't belive that winning those two games will make us walk straight back into CL without even having to play those fucking qualifiers.

it is amazing how Liverpool always play before City on matchdays keeping the pressure on them.... really what a coincidence

That's true. I really hope he will make fest out of this and show the fans one last time what he is all about. Hazard has always tried to be a man of style, so I fully expect him to blow out in style here as well and smash Watford and Frankfurt in his last two games at the Bridge.

on that I wholeheartedly agree

i am one of Willian's fiercest critics but he is miles above Kenedy and will always be. Kenedy really is an average average footballer.

what i hate most is that the german media which has been hyping eintracht all year is now actinga s if that was some heroic performance from them and how they fought for a good result. the fuck. 1-1 at home is a shit result and they mus tknow it. would have preferred to shut them all up by taking our chances. but i think the best is to know that we can unlock their defence at will even if they put 11 men behind the ball. we just need to be wary of Rebic when he comes back. Haller is doubtful so i do not think he will be risked, probably a late sub appearance from him as he just had an adbominal tear. but we need to finish the job nice and early.

whats wrong with her face tho? She looks like well into her 40ies on these pics

You are right. Low line has fuck all to do with offensive or defensive game. You can also play defensivley adn have a high line

i think it would not have been much of a difference. higuain would have seen the spaces but not made the runs either. A striker like BAtshuayi would have been perfect today

Lol the german reporter to trapp: the fortress held (no it did not) but should you have won today? and trapp like: yeah we should ahve scored one of the 100% chacnes in the end. LOOOOOL

no our best chance was the counter attack which rlc squandered after having all the time in the world. also girouds runs was so shit, he could have had a tap in if he had just made a parallel run their defence was all over the place.
