Fair point, I had been going to mention positioning as well but ended up leaving it out. I'm not sure why now. You need both imo.

Does sound awesome, hopefully will get even louder before the game is over!
State of Cattermole
Why are we not after players like him and Jota, who's always getting winning goals for them. Slightly less glamorous players but so effective
But agreed, we seem to think football can be played by strolling round
Liverpool looking dodgy at the back all of a sudden
Pass there you wanker
He's called Everton. No wonder he bottles it against dippers

The difference between the atmosphere in city game and Benfica game is unreal.
City aren’t doing shit in this match 75% possession and one shot on target from a free kick.
Mane and Salah being rested for Sunday I guess
Atletico's determination to not leave any spaces between midfield and defence is actually something I enjoy watching. No matter who gets pulled out of position, they always reorganise almost instantly and keep their shape.
It's not pretty, but it's quite refreshing to see after watching United continue leave ourselves wide open week after week.

Laporte's so good even his own country didn't want to cap him.
Ohhh?
Athleti cannot pass. It's like they are playing with a square ball
City won’t be too disappointed with a draw. Athletico will come out a bit more in the second leg.
City fans are booing their own players?
I haven’t seen a replay but the PL probably give them
Sterling really likes a dive
This Atleti performance has almost been a throwback to when they had Garcia, Costa etc. They're now playing like they could potentially nick a goal tonight.
Sterling with another attempt for City. Attempt at diving that is.
The Liverpool game is so much more entertaining than the City game
That was a penalty surely ffs
DeBruyne scores, always a chance with him fully fit.
What player would want to play for ath Madrid. There the most boring team ever. There’s no excitement when watching them. Absolute awful. How we didn’t beat them I don’t know
Konate is panic stations in the second half.
As much as I'd like to see it given, it would have been ridiculously soft.
Great Team goal by city
Yeah I would hate to have to support this but every team could learn from them
Fantastic from Foden there. If you don't know why dribbling is important watch that goal.
Can we agree that defending is easier than attacking, and that when you can buy some of the most expensive players in the world and somehow have them buy in to your tactics, then you are not necessarily a tactical genius but definitely a very convincing leader.
I hate the way Atlético plays, besides when they beat Liverpool, but you have to give Simione some credit. There is no doubt who is the Boss

Is that four penalty claims from him tonight? With a couple more from De Bruyne and Silva?
Manchester City [1] - 0 Atletico Madrid - Kevin De Bruyne 70'
the depth of city squad though
Just brought on Foden,Grealish and Jesus

Why do I get annoyed when people put a "h" in "Athletico"?
I know they're doing it on purpose to be annoying but it still annoys me. You win, you bunch of chunts.

Jota’s passing is awful.
Ake has been City's best starter (so far) it's like he's won every aerial challenge
This Nunez kid should be our top target
They all deserve flaying at this point
Qhuit yhour whhinging
I always wondered, why does it bother people when some spell atletico as atheltico?
Love how these refs give free kicks based on reactions rather than the actual contact.
Kondogbia goes down holding his head/face/shoulder every time. Gets going in no time when the ref doesn't buy it.
