Sporting v City

[Muttley]

Sporting being humiliated 0-4 at half time.

Sporting seem to be trying to play City at their own game, with predictable results...

 

[Cuthbert]

Two of City's goals were a bit lucky, but they've been very good. (The Mahrez cross for Foden's goal (very composed) managed to get through three defenders), Silva's second probably saved without the deflection.

 

[Diego]

They could do with a certain Slovenian

 

[Muttley]

Two "lucky" goals but several other chances have gone begging. It looks like a whuppin' for the Portugeezers I'm afraid.

City make it look so easy

 

[Nero]

As much as I don't like so called super clubs credit much be given to Man City. They are a pleasure to watch. What a team they are.

I love Foden playing in that false 9 role. Kane will understandably start at the world cup but using Foden as a false 9 could be an alternative option, especially if Kane is injured.

I was going to mention that. Foden is brilliant in that role.

 

[BoroFur]

Do we think Sporting will give the same excuses as Derby did against us

 

[Zoophonic]

What a goal by Sterling. 0-5

 

[Jonny Ingbar]

Despite the result Sporting have one of the brightest young managers around it seems.

Talk linking him with Man Utd job, so tonight's result good practice if that happens then.

I'm glad I chose to watch the PSG v Real Madrid match. 0-0 so far

 

[Glover_elbow]

They look so much better without grealish slowing the play down

 

[Glover_elbow]

Bernardo silva is a little genius a joy to watch

 

[Zoophonic]

Have to admire the Sporting fans. 5-0 down but they are still on their feet singing and encouraging their team.

 

[Muttley]

Didn't see many walking out either, proper fans.

 

[Johnny Vincents Motorbike]

brilliant support off the sporting crowd....

lessons there for all.

 

[Zoophonic]

They seem to be celebrating their achievement in getting to the knockout phase. They are still singing way after the final whistle.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Loving watching this. Football supporting at its best.

I also opted for the PSG game, was pretty uneventful until the final 20 minutes.

PSG deserved the victory but I'm not Real will be too daunted with only a goal deficit (no away goals this season either).

Veratti was back to his absolute best and ran the midfield. Old school Italian performance by Madrid under Carlo - they were incredibly well organised and formed a good defensive unit.

Think I'd fancy Madrid to (just) sneak through overall.
