Because he's behind the ball when it's played I think.
Sarcasm?
He's a very polarizing manager. He wen't from ultra defensive manager to gung ho
Looking at their european form you never know. They've been unstoppable.
Monaco of Ligue 1 giving us the worst French defensive collapse since 1940.
Revealing a quite respectable sized pair oft balls?
My understanding is it's incredibly tight between the PL and Serie A
Ref calling Toure back while Toure tried to hide there as he ran off
Had a £5 double on City & Athletico BTTS and Win and cashed out for £11 when Monaco were 2-1 up FFS 
Ya cheers
City fans singing "referee, what's the score?"
David Moyes will be showing the video of the City v Monaco game to his Sunderland players in training and saying "This is how you should defend!"
Monaco will win 4:2 in the 2nd leg.
I could never and will never give a crap about point number 2
And I am a firm believer that going for two major trophies adds focus as long as the squad is used properly.
Either way I can never root for city, Liverpool, Chelsea or arse in Europe. Just can't do it
To be fair, their is a german in City's attack.
His point is that they are useless now that England will be guaranteed four spots regardless of the rankings.
It was an enjoyable game.
Monaco are out. They can't go through with a defence like this.
mental stuff
The ref was excellent by the way, even with all the cards
One of the best European games in a long time. Really enjoyable.
Disappointed with Jardim. Reminded me of our capitulation at Benfica's stadium when he was our manager.
Monaco completely shit themselves after the Falcao goal.
5 second half goals and 6 subs, 3 mins added on. The UEFA refs don't muck about do they.
Great game though. Best I've seen in ages.

Jardim didn't know what to do when City started attacking after 3:2 for Monaco.
I still think Monaco will take this one.
Such a naive 2nd half from Monaco, reminds me of Arsenal. At 3-2, a clever coach would've done some subs and tried to just destroy the home team's game. Hindsight of course, but it felt like Monaco just wanted to try to score more.
I don't think I've ever seen a better game than that! Don't really care who goes through but just want a similar second leg. The Monaco manager deserves a lot of blame though. Really should have shut up shop at 3-2.
Well it was fun while it lasted.
State of Monaco's defence

Fair play to City for coming back but it was a complete collapse by Monaco.
City still look shaky as hell. If they progress someone like Madrid can maul them.

Great result for the second leg. I expect more of the same
What a collapse from Monaco. Bunch of idiots.
One of the craziest games I've seen, world class attacking quality and shambolic defenses, entertainment galore
This is far from done Monaco only need to win 2-0 to go through and they are well capable of beating us by 2. Jardim must get his tactics straight off the football manager games. Amazing, pacey, powerful going forward but even worse defensively than both City and Liverpool.
We won the second half 4-1... so surreal, that game could have been 7-7. Final score definately flattered us.

I think it depends on the games, if City get Real Madrid/PSG in the next round I'd expect their league form around those games to suffer.
Though you could be right of course.
City getting ahead of themselves here with all the celebrations. Would be brilliant to see Monaco simply win 2-0 at home and knock them the feck out. Calm down you weirdos.
Far from it
