Poor old city.
Wasn't Pep supposed to be the guy to bring em success in Europe? No shots whatsoever in the first half weren't it? 
I have literally no idea what football they're supposed to be playing these days. It's not direct counter-attacking stuff, it's not Barca-esque possession play, it's not even somewhere in between. To my eyes they set up - or at least play - random tactics from game to game. They looked much better at the start of the season. I dunno where they're supposed to be going with this shit but I'm glad they still look no better than they have the last coupla seasons.
Nic, care to shed some light? |

Wenger is seen as an out dated coach , and yet Pep is the revolutionary who is using Wengers shit full backs from 10 years ago

Let's not get too exited about city getting getting knocked out. We are still stuck in 6th place and could easily get KO'D tonight leaving us with nothing to play for (unless you think we'll actually finish in the top four).

The sort that is ahead of you in the PL
The sort that is (was) in the CL
Granted it's not the slick "buy a 35 year old, play another 35 year old, lump it into the mixer and when that doesn't work stick microphone head on and lump it up some more" type you may have been accustomed to, but let's see where we are in May 2018 eh? |

Unhook it & throw it back in, I say. Catch it again later. It's good sport.
