TheGoodJoe:


At least you can see how high his rating was. He played well.

Finito.

Clementoke:
How Lyon finished in far away 7th position in the just concluded French Ligue is still a surprise to me. Why?

Starboytwo:
i think coronavirous have greatly come to affect football... it is evident in the results coming out from the champions league....

i think playing a one legged knockout game on a neutral ground without the comfort of home,advantage or the fans etc are really impacting football... no advantages whatsoever from any factor, its simply bores down to how good you are against the other team.... Barca don finish, normal, but i dont think barca will lose 8-2 to bayern at the camp nou....


brace up for more upset in football..... yanch of many teams will be opened.... BARCA, MAN CITY

TheGoodJoe:


Go back and read my quotes. I have gone as far as describing Guardiola's tactics as a show of shame. During the match, from the first half, I made my stance clear that tactically we were off and Lyon were sound.

However, Guardiola made some corrections, we were on the front foot but the refs/uefa decided to hand Lyon an illegitimate goal. Which is disappointing.

TheGoodJoe:


They knew what they did. It is no more whether there is an agenda against City. It is there. Let them enjoy their Champions League.

So quotes from City fans.

---

We were dog shit for 90% of the time , but ffs how did that 2nd goal stand .....because we won the appeal....we were never gonna be allowed to win.They were just waiting....just fecking waiting

---

If you think Uefa would have let us lift the trophy you are deluded. The foul on Laporte didn't need to go to Var it was that obvious, but the goal stood.
Best we went out now, as if we had reached the final we would be tearing our hair out at the injustices UEFA would have inflicted on us

---

Bayern, UEFA and Der Spiegel Couldn’t beat us in the courts but when they hold the cards and make up the rules they fecked us over.
BENT AS feck.

---

Shit performance but UEFA/referees/VAR give our opponents a goal or two headstart every year, before we look at the advantages they get around the ground.

---

We knew there'd be a VAR against us (its like buying money) but FFS our set up was shambolic.
Too much respect to the opposition from pep yet again. If we really want to win it and become a noise then feckin spend and don't give a feck what anybody thinks. feck UEFA and their bollocks rules. THE rags are debited to feck yet make headlines on our much spending power they have.

---

Sterling scores and I think UEFa fecks us somehow anyway...

---

Say what you want about how shit we were in that first half and how wasteful we were in the second half but we were the team looking more likely to score a second until that corrupt VAR call.

---

Let’s not forget we were cheated yet again for their 2nd.
We were well in control and we’re going for the winner,
We bossed that 2nd half until that shit VAR cnuts decision the dirty bastards!
I said a long time ago, we are good enough to win it but we won’t be let win it!

---

UEFA GOT WHAT THEY WANTED

realpoacher:

Just shut up!

TheGoodJoe:


You think there was no agenda when they banned City from the champions league? It is beyond coincidence. It happens every year now. Did you not see Llorente last season? You think it is a coincidence that back to back we are going out with clear bias from var.

Hanibal:

Then get rid of Guardiola
Maybe city is reaping what Guardiola sow when he was winning the champions league unfairly year after year at Barca.
Ghost Penalties, and Ghost red cards helped Guardiola win every champions league trophy he won at Barca... None was won fairly.
Those days I remember Barca was called UEFALONA, the annoying thing about Pep back then was when he wins with an unfair penalty, or by getting an opposition player sent off for no reason, instead of staying humble, he'll go to press conference scratching his bald head forming Albert Einstein of football.

Guardiola and his fan boys should suck it up and move on, what you sow you shall reap!

Make una know as e dey pain people at the receiving end of those unfair calls in favor of Barca and Guardiola back then.

TheGoodJoe:


Very precise.

I did not even take note of the foul but as for the offside, the player was definitely interfering with play. If the ball went in front of him, it could be allowed but stepping over the ball is offside and Dembele fouled Laporte. No two ways about it.

The fact is that if we played our normal game, this would have been a routine win. Guardiola also let us down.



“Surely he can’t give that!” exclaimed Steve McManaman on BT Sport commentary.


“I was very surprised the contact wasn’t given as a foul, especially as the consequences were the player who instigated that potential foul went on to score the goal. He had a material impact in that decision – so I am surprised that wasn’t given as a foul.”

jihday:
No, playing defensive football is easy and means the coach doesn't know anything, it's better to loose 8-2 than pack bus and win 1-0 via a counter attacking goal

benji93:
E, i am sorry to say this but you seem to be talking like a secondary school student. . You have a lot to learn bro. Quite a lot. I am quite dissapointed in this submission. It's better to lose. i sincerely hope this is just another flippant internet comment. I sincerely hope this is not what you believe. The last time i checked the ultimate purpose of participating in this tournaments is to win, at least for the top teams.

jihday:
If you've been in this place long enough you'll know it's sarcasm, anyway ask Barça fans they'll tell you they are happy they had the bulk of the possession the defeat is a learning curve they'll be back

Blueelf:
thegoodjoe dey disappoint me sha

Your arguments are illogical and lack validity upon close scrutiny

Chai, i didn't know you'll stoop so low as to entertain thoughts of conspiracy bodering on unintelligent conclusions

Once again, I am disappointed..but what can one expect from a fanboy of fraudiola

Take a cue from andrewbaba44 and take your L in peace, suck it up and move on.

Nobody likes crybabies

Shebi your entertaining football has brought you one carling cup after spending huge on transfers

You're lucky you didn't go trophyless

Abi, EPL has an agenda against City too

You must be the most delusional sports fan on Nairaland now

Argue with me and expect more killshots

benji93:
@andrewbaba44, make you people just sell Messi to mancity. He really needs the GOAT to win another champions league.

JayromWrites:


What about Walker's push in the 18' box against Cornet?

Edopesin:
It's been a while but I have finally forgiven him

elyte89:

Yakubus own is more closer and simpler

Subzero047:


I admit he didn't have the worst of his games but he had one shot on target, one, if Aguero had one shot on target he had a horrendous game

And the Sterling chance was not magical it was a misplaced shot, I will continue to do the Lord's work until this fraud is exposed

Ah i did place a caveat. . I take it back then. I think say you too don start to dey follow @TheGoodJoe.

andrewbaba44:


He has 2 champions league and many achievement ,many coaches will pray to have what he has achieve and they might not have it till they end their coaching career so it’s painful

It’s not easy to use the goat to win the champions league as you have seen how Barca could not utilize that since ,take a clue from last season bottling

Guardiola has 2 champions league and you can’t take it away from him

All English teams are out just as the Spanish so there will be no noise

Come next season laliga will still be rated the best league in the world

Nobody should come and insult the French league here anymore ,as a 7th place team from France best one of the most feared English team

jihday:
Enrique

andrewbaba44:


What about velverde that was close last season after Beating Liverpool 3-0 in the first leg semi finals ?

The goat was on fire last season that he had to take the ballon d or

jihday:
Chei, valverde fumble sha

Danielnino00:


If u reason well enough, u will know that there's something called "rivalry" in football...

You think Man Utd, Chelsea,Man City and arsenal fans supported Liverpool to win the champions league?
