Manchester City vs. Bayern Munich (19.45 TV3)

Darkglasses

Hart, Sagna, Kompany, Mangala, Clichy, Fernando, Milner, Navas, Lampard, Nasri, Aguero

Neuer, Alonso, Benatia, Ribery, Lewandowski, Robben, Rafinha, Boateng, Bernat, Rode, Hojbjerg

Darkglasses

Crunch time. A draw is good enough for us to go through (depending on Bayern to beat CSKA and us to beat Roma in the last game), so I'm hoping for that.

Vital to have Lamps in this squad, he makes such a difference.

Hank Scorpio

Looking ominous for City already

loobylou

Looking dodgy at the back again, worried here.
Wheres Zabaleta?

Darkglasses

Come on!!

How stupid can ya get?

Mars Bar

Thought the keeper had it

Darkglasses

Full time ref

madcabbage

Well this ought to quieten the Bayern fans! Lunatics! :pac:

microsim

An amateur tackle indeed. Clown. I still fancy bayern to come back and win.

rob316

Moronic from benatia. Be interesting now

frisbeeface

Such a mad tackle, especially when you have a keeper like Neuer!

jacool

Can't throw this one away now, can they?

yipeeeee

Penalty and a yellow would have sufficed.

LuckyGent88

Silly pen to give away but we'll put away by aguero. Needs to be with neuer in goal.

That's not the rules though, it was a clear goal scoring opportunity.

Last man back deems a red I thought?

Blatter

I can still see City struggling here. I don't think this is over by a long shot.

yipeeeee

It does but I think it should be changed if it's in the box.

How so? The rules clearly state that denying a clear goalscoring opportunity is punished by a red card. Now you can argue about the rule, and I don't actually agree with the rule as it stands as it seems to be a double punishment. But it is the rule.

See above.

frisbeeface

Terrible from Hart

madcabbage

Sneaky fecker!

LuckyGent88

Nice strike. Hart was poor though

blueser

F***ing soft goal to concede.

Cienciano

I now this is captain hindsight, but that wall was really badly positioned and hart really should have been expecting that

frisbeeface

Gets worse with every replay. How can he be allowed to roll it into the corner like that!

LuckyGent88

Bayer a ability to keep possession even with 10 men is fantastic.

glued

City are so terrible.

microsim

Lol. Delighted.

Darkglasses

45 minutes to score one..

frisbeeface

Wow. City were looking really good until about 5 minutes ago. Obviously no confidence in the team

madcabbage

Wow, take a bow son! What a goal!

DDC1990

Two top class goals.

Unreal finish from Lewandowski.

Professional Griefer

Ahaha, pooooor defending, cant believe City didnt hold to half time, 2-1 down and a man up!!

Cienciano

A soft free and then that! This must be tough to watch for a City fan, it's like they don't want to win

LuckyGent88

You would swear city were down to ten.

Another well taken goal.

Oat23

That'll silence em'.

No wait, they were already silent.

Mantis Toboggan

City getting schooled here.

Boskowski

Bit of luck coming of his shoulder but no complaints :pac:

ASOT

Could see from a mile away were that cross was going, terrible defending. Super finish from Big Rob though.

microsim

Man City are choking again. That centre back mangala is running around like a headless chicken.

Kharrell

City should be forced to give up their Champions League spot to the next club down in the league table. Awful embarrassment.

GavRedKing

Havent seen the game but have City been as poor as Twitter is making them out to be?

Dempsey

How much is sagna getting again?

50 lashes for that sort of defending!

Francie Barrett

City crumpling like a wet paper bag again. You'd have to think Pellegrini will be in trouble if things stay this way.

theteal

Absolutely shocking keeping for the free. What was the point of the wall if he was going to stand behind it? Is it not meant to cover the portion of the goal that he wasn't covering? Sense was not made

We played pretty well after the red card, once Bayern's goal went in the heads dropped. Not as bad as the CSKA game. Navas making some progress, Nasri a bit wasteful.

Started off very shakily, but grew intot he game and were deservedly ahead. But a terribly soft free kick equaliser followed by a good/lucky goal by Lewandowski. Shocking defending, as has become the norm this season.

Pelligrini wont be under pressure but now would you take 4th over 3rd, if it comes to it?

City wont need the Europa League for a UCL appearance next year so maybe avoiding a Thursday nights would be good for their league progress.

5/1 for a city win... Yer ah rih gov
