That's the reason why geniuses like Bielsa never won a major trophy. 

Well they make their teams play well, but defence is as important as attack. You cant go all out attack and have zero energy after 65min.

I would say they are geniuses in a way, but at their own fault for picking such tactics. Games are won, not played.

Good let's hope city make it at least to the semis to keep the triple competition strain on them.

Even if City make it far in the competition with that kind of defending they will get trashed big time by much better opposition, Monaco could have scored more than 3 goals tonight, they were naive in their game plan, when you score 3 away goals in the Champions League you need to close down the game in order to not concede more goals, when leading 3-2 Monaco should have changed the game plan, they were too careless and allowed City to score 3 more goals. Now we´ll see what happens in the 2nd Leg, Monaco can still go through, but it wouldnt suprise me to see City go through.

Exactly.

Secondly, Monaco's early elimination would make it at least slightly more likely that their top players will be prepared to leave, thereby improving our chances if we hope to sign any of them.

Thirdly, more coefficient points for Manchester City can only help to protect England's four Champions League places. For clubs which hope to be regular participants in that competition, four places are better than three.

For all those reasons I was surprised to read posts from people who were actively wanting City to lose last night.

What an amazing game that City Monaco was. Credit to both shit goalkeepers and defences for making it a spectacle. :D Can't wait for the 2nd leg, Monaco will throw everything they have at Shitty and hopefully win. Btw can we sign Mbappe, Bernardo, Sidibe and Bakayoko pretty please? That Falcao guy looks great too :ph34r:

Brilliant to watch, also laughable listening to the commentators and how little they knew of Monaco and expected City to walk it, despite the result it was from that.

The media this morning waxing lyrical about the beautiful football City play:lol:
