I'm not entirely sure I see the point in being in the Champions League just to play football like that. At some point, you gotta start offering a bit more.

Just look at the City team, they haven't really dont anything with the ball but they have won almaost every 50/50. Their attitude is spot on.

Seems a strange tactic to spam crosses into the box with 3 guys 5 foot tall in there.

Not sure about this Benfica side at all.

Odysseas looks like a bit of a journeyman, Darwin needs to evolve his game, and they're not getting much of a tune out of Adel.

I think that on current form, this Liverpool team is a level above City, hope to god I’m wrong but can honestly see the scousers winning every game til the end of the season :(

I agree 100%, I don't see any weaknesses.

The one thing that might stand to City this year is a fully fit DeBruyne, he’s usually seems to be carrying an injury around this time.

I know City are really, really effective but my lord its dull. 30 mins, almost all of the ball, one awful shot from Gundogan. Pass, pass, pass, repeat.

Barring some bad fortune such as losing Van Dijk or a random red card / penalty going against them in a key match, I think they will win the lot.

If this happens I may have to leave the UK for a while until the media stop masturbating over it. So that'll be me returning in 2035 then

Ultimate Pep foul there. Stop the counter deliberate, hold up hands, no yellow, no problem. It's an art.

Surely City will win something? Liverpool aren’t a level above them.

His best option was turn around before even trying this pointless run and play it back.
Only the likes of Mbappe are fast enough to try what he did
Closest teammate was 20 yards away and not even looking in his direction :lol:

Atleti aren't even pretending like they have any interest in trying to win this game

More woeful defending by Benfica whom was probably beaten in the minds before kick off. This tie is over after the 1st half of the 1st leg.

It’s going to be unbearable, talk is revving up already, each step towards is gonna be torture.

Let’s be honest though, for a last 8 tie in the CL this is an absolute gimme. Lucky bastards.

What is it about this winning 50/50’s? You can’t win a 50/50 it falls either way so it’s pure luck. Some teams are luckier than others.

As much as I'd like City to go out, the thought that Liverpool would then get effectively a walk into the final as a result makes me less keen

City are getting frustrated. Sloppiness creeping in.

Surely one of these City forwards will recognise one of them needs to play centre forward?

But in all honesty City and Liverpool are 7 levels above us. From fitness to calmness some of the things which should be bare minimum is a very foreign skillset in our team. Sad times

I am talking about the start of his run, rewind it if you can. You'll see what I mean. You're talking about the end of the sequence when he isolated himself
