RickG16 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Congrats on the quadruple... FIFA, UEFA, the FA, and the Premier League are all investigating potential financial irregularities at City. Talk about storm clouds gathering. If 'financial doping' is proven, I think City being stripped of their last title will be seriously looked at as a possibility, to save the credibility of the competitions involved. Just like how Lance Armstrong was stripped of his TdF titles. Of course in the scenario that City are stripped, the title can be retrospectively awarded to the team that finished second.

On a semi-related subject an incredible effort by CR7 and Juve. 3-0 over defensive minded A. Madrid. Amazing. And lastly, has there ever been a footballer as talented as CR7 who was also as big an immature punk ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Schalke did ok defending for 30 minutes but they crumbled once we got one. Gundogan's best game for us? Give him time and he can pick the pass as good as the best. Zinchenko continues to impress. Better defensively lately and he's quality when attacking. Danilo seems to have finally settled and can be relied upon. We bought for the fullback positions and defensive midfield to which he's now added CB. Currently i prefer him over Walker. Great Aguero goal; not many players could receive that ball off balance and finish. Sane/Sterling 4th goal, the goal of the night or Foden's brilliant shimmy goal (Alfie! I said Foden). VAR got the decisions right but waaaaaay toooooo looooong to come to a decision. Last time we met Schalke in Manchester was 1970. We won 5v1 on the way to winning the European Cup Winners' Cup. A good night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"alluded to the fact that their domestic troubles had them lacking confidence". Don't recall such comments from Pep. So what did he say exactly? 2. Wasn't an easy night in gelsenkirchen for us. Handball penalty goal and Otamendi booking we didn't agree with. 2nd penalty 7 minutes later we thought iffy. Otamendi soft 2nd booking and sending off. It could of gone 3v1 and not 2v1 with 10 men down if schalke had gone for it so give us credit for turning the 2v1 around there to a 2v3. Credit where credit's due. 3.

City's player of the season for me; he's covered for loss of kdb. Also seems the most popular player in the squad with the squad. And he will get better. With Bernardo signing up i can see now why the upset at Gundogan not signing up. Think he's the only player i can remember who hadn’t instantly signed up. Stays good; goes im ok with that.

Something you don't seem to want to admit You drew the worst team, by some way, in the last 16, based on league position. At Schalke you made a meal of things but eventually won. That away win was not as impressive as those of Liverpool, Spurs, Man Utd and Ajax, so I'm not impressed by your performance there. You are top of the EPL and should have done better. If you reach the final and play a non-English team I will be supporting you. City and Spurs are the only 2 of the last 8 never to have won it. Perhaps that would make a good final.

As we've seen from WHU, Bournemouth, Watford and not Schalke it's not easy to score against and beat a team if they want to park the bus and try and get a goal from a freekick, throw in, corner or penalty. Turning round a 2v1 game with 10 men to win 2-3 was pretty impressive no matter how much you try to denigrate it. We hammered Schalke 7-0 and 10-2 on aggregate. Yeah ok we were rubbish.
