Going for goals in Germany here. total looks too low, Red Bull plays very open and while Wolfsburg have a fine defensive record, they are plenty capable on the counter. Can see a 2-2 type game here.
Martial injured I believe but strange that Mkitharyan is not even in the squad... Maybe not fit enough yet I'm not sure. Now that Walcott is playing great again it's all good but I would have loved the Armenian at Arsenal
Manchester City @ManCity <small class="time" style="font-size: 13px; color: rgb(136, 153, 166);"> 5 minil y a 5 minutes</small> CITY XI | Bravo, Zabaleta, Otamendi, Stones, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Silva, Sterling, Nolito, De Bruyne #FCBCity#mcfc
<small class="time" style="font-size: 13px; color: rgb(136, 153, 166);">il y a 6 minutes</small> CITY SUBS | Caballero, Fernando, Aguero, Maffeo, Clichy, Sane, Navas #FCBCity#mcfc
Strange to see Aguero on the bench. And Mascherano at right back vs Nolito will be interesting
And De Bruyne alone in attack or false 9, Aguero left on the bench.. Don't think it's the best thing to leave your best forward out to get a result at Barca, but we will see
Watched the Basel game, so only going from the Barca highlights but leaving your best forward on the bench I can't understand at all, you know you have to score 1 or 2 to take at least one point. But then without all the defensive mistakes it could have worked..
1-0 at 60th minute and Aguero woulda come in, probably 2-0. But that red on Bravo and injury at the same time to Zabaleta...just meant a keeper and defensive sub, then playing with 10...by the time Mathieu got his second yellow it was 3-0 and way too late to do anything. Thought City played really well in the 1h and that scoreline at HT was perfectly acceptable. Shit just hit the fan early in the 2h
Yes plenty of defensive errors in almost all the games leading to goals tonight.
As you say it could have worked with Aguero playing in 2nd half, but IMO De Bruyne and Aguero should be the first names in the XI everytime City play a big team, just like Arsenal with Ozil and Sanchez
yeah little bit strange to change penalty takers and no rooney to take them. came back home at the 30th minute and man utd scored 3 goals before HT I didn't think Fenerbahce would be this shit, Man Utd should score more if they don't relax too much
