City won 00110101 - 00110011 in binary, if that helps.As an Italian I am pretty a limited football brain and only can see 0-0 1-0 1-1 ... what happened?

Well that's true.Tbf someone did bite an ear.
On theory, that how it looks, but then you have to take in Pep's away record in CL. Question mark on City performance attacking wise, let alone their unreliable defense. Monaco can score 3 away, then I can't see any problem for them to repeat similar figure at home.At 4-3 you would fancy them but the balance of power is with City now.
Am I missing something? I thought that away goals counted as 2 home goals?I think Monaco have blown it. I can't see them winning by two clear goals. City on that showing, will be out in the next round.
No, not quite. Away goals count for more but only if the aggregate is tied.Am I missing something? I thought that away goals counted as 2 home goals?
So wouldn't Monaco only need a 1-0 win?
That is only the case if the two teams tie on aggregate. A better easier way to look at it is in the event of a tie on aggregate, the winner is whoever scores more away from home.Am I missing something? I thought that away goals counted as 2 home goals?

Are you a girl? This is a serious question.That was my mistake, obviously needed to brush up on my reading
Then there's these two
Nah sorry mate, you're out of luck.Are you a girl? This is a serious question.

Monaco ripped both English clubs and got their money while we helped him with the rehabilitation for a serious injury. Now he's back in good shape they reap the result. Basically we both paid for an unfit player while Monaco got all the creme...Entertaining match obviously but I can't see how anyone would say "this is one of the best CL matches in recent memory". Have people lose their minds? Both Aguero goals, Falcao's first (arguably even his second) and Sterling's goal would never have happened if the defenders (and the Monaco GK) on both sides weren't utter shit. Laughable defending.
Have to say Falcao's second was world class finishing though. Measured Cabalero's height at 6'5 and measured the highest point he could stretch to and still managed to chip it over him from close range. Did Monaco loan Falcao out and keep the user's manual back for themselves? Chelsea and United should sue.
Monaco fitness levels are really good for Frances's league but not against a PL top team, they collapsed at the end
Surely, it is against the rules to score more than two goals!
Faaaaantastic thanksCity won 00110101 - 00110011 in binary, if that helps.
Don't ask meIs Sterling goal offside though? Arguably ahead of Sane by overrunning, when Sane squared the ball in.
Football is unpredictable in that if City happen to get through the next round, they may get a morale boost. City is a team whose performance is more mood based so it's better than to disrupt their momentum with negativity. On their day, they can beat even Barcelona at home & dominated teams... Tottenham, L'pool are ones who have problem with squad depth/ bench quality which is more likely struggle with more games. Arsenal being Arsenal, so they likely recover in March and toward end of season, so we next few league games are crucial to get past them when they have their February melt down.Hold on a sec, you guys wanted City to lose?
Why? We don't need yet another team only fighting for the league. We need them to go deep and then lose, which would be the best possible scenario. We already have Liverpool and Arsenal only vying for 4th, and potentially Tottenham... we don't need any more teams with so much rest and concentration on 4th!
Me and my uni mates were waiting for the draw and when City got Monaco, we just turned our noses at it. Said they were defensive and no point going up to see that. Oh how we were wrong.Decided to take my first trip to the Emptihad since moving back to Manchester. It cost me about £4.38 a goal so no complaints on my end. Cracking game, terrible fans.

No they didn't... I think you meant 00000101 - 00000011.City won 00110101 - 00110011 in binary, if that helps.
You're getting a little confused. You have to be BEHIND the goalkeeper to be offside.Im pretty sure that should still be offside.
Mane is technically in an offside position because there's only the keeper between him and the goal. It doesn't matter if he's behind Aguero, because Aguero plays the ball forward, not backwards.
Goalkeeper is irrelevant - it's two players, one usually is the goalkeeper but doesn't have to be, could be 2 defenders.You're getting a little confused. You have to be BEHIND the goalkeeper to be offside.
yep, and you have to be closer to the opposing goal line than the ball when it's played to be offside, so if you're behind the ball you won't be flagged offside even if you're nearer to the goal line than any opposing players including the 'keeper as long as you're level or behind the ball when it's played, it's not a difficult law to understand.Goalkeeper is irrelevant - it's two players, one usually is the goalkeeper but doesn't have to be, could be 2 defenders.
This is nearer the image I had in my limited brain tooNo they didn't... I think you meant 00000101 - 00000011.
How can any team be proud of last nights match? Mistakes after mistakes were made in that match...Apparently there's a fella on Blue Moon claiming our PR department is leaking this Rooney news to deflect attention from them winning the European game of the season last night.
Because United want to deflect from the fact City conceded 3 goals at home to a French side
I know some may find this laughable but the longer they stay in it the more chance they have to win it. You have to remember that it's not always the best side that wins the competition. All it takes is some dodgy decisions to go their way or a big team have an off day. They have already been allowed to buy the PL. It would be especially galling if they were allowed to do the same with the CL.Hold on a sec, you guys wanted City to lose?
Yeah, I'm sure if that was United beating Monaco 5-3 last night after going 3-2 down there wouldn't be any reds creaming their pants about it would there? Personally, any United fan that wouldn't have been excited about winning a match like that would be nothing short of a weirdo IMO.How can any team be proud of last nights match?

To be honest, I hope City buy everything in sight - including your mum's laptop. That way, we wouldn't have to put up with any more of your insane obsessive rantings about all things City.I know some may find this laughable but the longer they stay in it the more chance they have to win it.

I am pretty sure most City fans would take a 0-0 bore fest in Monaco with both hands though... such sh*t defending makes every match a lottery and you generally go broke playing lottery sistematicallyRegardless of how shite both defences were, that was one of the most entertaining football matches I've ever witnessed. Or maybe as a fan I should've been more "proud" of a 0-0 bore fest where both teams cancelled each other out eh?
Pretty much is mateI know some may find this laughable but the longer they stay in it the more chance they have to win it.

Ask John Stones, he plays like a schoolboyTo be honest, I hope City buy everything in sight - including your mum's laptop. That way, we wouldn't have to put up with any more of your insane obsessive rantings about all things City.
When does half-term finish by the way?
Course we would mate, but I'm talking about the home game and 0-0 at home isn't as good as 5-3 is it? That said, we could easily lose by 3 or 4 goals over there as Monaco are deadly going forwardI am pretty sure most City fans would take a 0-0 bore fest in Monaco with both hands though... such sh*t defending makes every match a lottery and you generally go broke playing lottery sistematically
