They deserve that

Unearthly

Thought he smacked that over at first

The Backwards Man

Done his best to miss it

Turtwig

Both teams deserved that. Be hilarious though if Sane missed that. XD

GreNoLi

City doubtless to face barca in the next round and bend over accordingly.

KERSPLAT!

Thought he flipping missed!

It's like the battery has gone flat in the Monaco players. Went from super high energy to looking completely spent.

I said it at half time, I said it a few minutes ago and I'll say it again, that extra body (De Bruyne) in a deeper position has given City control in this half. Great move Pep.

Exactly, Pep always lies down for Barca, hes a disgrace ...

SlickRic

Pep earning his money here. The move of De Bruyne into the deeper role has worked wonders. Finally they've been able to dictate play.

The original setup was badly exploited by an exceptional Monaco 1st half performance, but Pep has worked it out.

Edit: I see AIG had beaten me to the above observation.

Just think Monaco have run out of energy more than anything to be honest. Happened in the first leg too.

Monaco have been sh!t in the second half too. Tried sitting back for what reason I'd love to know.

City hands them a goal with that high line

Tiredness I'd say.

George definitely supporting Monaco his enthusiasm:)

BorneTobyWilde

Who's winning now, getting cuntfusing

GreNoLi

BAKAYOKOOOO ONOOOO!!!

Masala

Two words... And they sound like Clucking Bell

Burial.

What a header

The Talking Bread

fascinating game!! Will go to the wire!

corny

Got very excited there George. Mustn't be keen on city.

Say Your Number

Jesus, how many more goals will we get now.

Jaysus that was terrible by man city

It's not.

There's no way a team that brimming in energy and confidence at the end of one half could know be knackered by 50/55 minutes.

KDB being that bit deeper has meant someone can get on the ball, and also, it's free up the space ahead.

But none of that matters if you can't teach your team to defend consistently well! Great header.

Champions league has been great entertainment this year

tanko

John Stones is never going to get hurt going for a header anyway, gutless.

elefant

You can't even see in the shot who is supposed to be picking him up as he heads that in. Woeful stuff.

Why are you talking about Europa League teams and coaches in the CL thread?

Seriously though, if he won't ask Europa league managers for help at least ask somebody, he is destroying some good young defenders there. Maybe big Sam could give him a few pointers?

2-0 up at half time and going through. The message definitely at half time was more conservative.though I don't think it suits them at all to allow man city position.

Beat them in a nothing match ... typical Pep ... I mean why should we be surprised, he was celebrating after Barca knocked out Bayern - disgracefull should have been sacked in the tunnel after that.

GreNoLi

Not sure about that sub, city back line terrified of Mbappe.

Imagine watching a game like this and thinking about coaches like Mourinho and Allardyce, what a very dour outlook that is.

Oh look who it is, fancy seeing you float in around this time. Shock.

GavRedKing

Theres gonna be a f**k up by someone again. No way this finishes 3-1.

When pointing and laughing at a managers clueless attempts to organise a defence its only natural to compare him to his peers, most of whom managed to reach a basic competence in that area years ago.

The Talking Bread

Monaco could do with Jonny Walters arse around the corner flag to see this out

GreNoLi

Sterling's worth every penny, one hundred of them to be exact.

GavRedKing

Are leicester gonna be the only english side left in the ucl

GavRedKing

KDB has had a few nibbles already on a yellow

Been runaway City's best player this season and one of the best players in the league. Do go on though
