Lost five of last six games in it even.Lost to Basel in the second leg, tie was dead before hand but I think it was either 0-1 or 1-2.

Yup dead rubber vs Shaktar as well.Lost five of last six games in it even.
Fear is doing wonders for them. Clubs are losing games before game startsGoes back to the age old question - are City really all that or has the Premiership been really shit recently?
We're a top side with KDB and Aguero, without we are not all that but still decent. Tonight was a kick in the arse that we deserved because we've started this season with an attitude like we only have to turn up and we'll win. This has shades of Pelligrini's second season all over it.Goes back to the age old question - are City really all that or has the Premiership been really shit recently?
Even with UEFA taking up a few rows behind each goal they still can't sell out at the Etihad.Those empty seats are shocking for a CL game. The sort of non-attendance you’d get in a severe blizzard.
Good point. Pep doesn't seem to do compromise and is never going to be more pragmatic against Liverpool so if they get City and they play well, City look like they're screwed.Incredible scene to have so many empty seats in your first CL game of the season.
I'm not sure why they are the favorites when Barcelona is in the competition and Pep still has no answers for Liverpool.
I think its a bit more than that. It's Klopp. He had his number at Dortmund tooIncredible scene to have so many empty seats in your first CL game of the season.

To be fair, the best team in Liverpool's group was Sevilla and in the knockout rounds, they played Roma, Porto and City. Aside from City, they didn't play a single team any of the top 4 in England wouldn't be expected to beat. Their draw wasn't nice as much as it was a shortcut. Real got Bayern, Juventus, PSG, Dortmund and Spurs. I still don't think any English side has earned the right to be seen as the best in Europe since United about 10 years ago so whether the PL is pretty good is debatable.We're a top side with KDB and Aguero, without we are not all that but still decent.

Liverpool made the CL final last year (albeit with a nice draw) so I'd say the PL is still pretty good.
Because nobody likes noise when they're in a library.Why exactly are they booing the CL anthem anyway?
Its to do with the fines that UEFA have given to City compared to what others teams have received.Mom’s spaghettihad

Seen any pictures, that are for sure from tonight? Sounds pathetic.Those empty seats are shocking for a CL game. The sort of non-attendance you’d get in a severe blizzard.
Not even close but good try.Because some sort of uefa conspiracy which constantly punishes this fantastic and completely organically assembled squad.
They were rightly done for FFP as were we, but thats not why our fans boo. I posted above as to why. It's stupid though and I wish they'd stop.Do the PSG fans boo? They have been fecked twice by UEFA.
RAWK said:Things are that bad with filling seats, they've even asked Guardiola to sit in the stands to make the number up.
Yep. Shopping list being created as we speakFernandinho was bad. I except that Pep will buy new midfielder for 70 mil in december.
Definition of plastic, And people called Chelsea plastic. Atleast our fans show up home and away.They fill their stadium once a year when Utd turn up.
At least the myth that Manchester has more City fans than Utd seems to have died out. They've got a squad of world class talent, they've played some of the best football England has ever seen in the last 12 months and they still play to thousands of empty seats every week.
it just shows that high press beats them. it was the same for peps Barca. press them high and don't let them pass you to death and you can hurt them. Liverpool showed it several times last season, we showed it in the second half at the council house last year. Sit off them and put players behind the ball and they will pass you to death, press high and fast and they will make mistakes, rush passes etc.Goes back to the age old question - are City really all that or has the Premiership been really shit recently?
How many of those home tickets are actually picked up by United fans, though? I know if I lived in Manchester I'd try get a ticket to that game, wouldn't give a feck what end I was in.They fill their stadium once a year when Utd turn up.
