Hopefully Lyon don't do a Atalanta.

Wow Ederson was way off

 

[nyknick]

Thought that was offside in real time but Kyle Walker played him on

Great finish though

what can i say......but its not over so.....i,ll be back in 75 minutes

Just looking at citys line up i knew this wouldn’t be an easy one

not sure what the hell theyre thinking

Kevin sshould be in the middle with mahrez on the right

They need Dinho in this lineup and they can't play him in the backline or else he'd be food.

This midfield may be too conservative in hindsight.

Neck tattoo caught out

 

[Ukbrotha]

I don't understand city's lineup.

 

[jaydolf spitler]

Not sure I've ever seen a slide tackle result In a shot attempt from outside the box before.

Lyon playing that beautiful defense

 

[Ohene]

They need Dinho in this lineup and they can't play him in the backline or else he'd be food.

I agree
Google says fernandinho is at right back now
I Guess they changed the lineup early on

 

[nyknick]

City looking uncharacteristically flat

Lyon grabbing the lead

Ligue Un guys are ready for a fight, Man City had it easy with Modric and Kroos looking

Although how many times are they gonna let Sterling run in behind them

 

[Low End Derrick]

I don't understand city's lineup.

they lost to Lyon last season I think

so pep is trying to match up with them

 

[Max B]

Aouar is playing fantastic

 

[Ohene]

They need Dinho in this lineup and they can't play him in the backline or else he'd be food.

This midfield may be too conservative in hindsight.

It is bro
They gave lyon no respect

 

[bigdaddy88]

City looking uncharacteristically flat

Lyon grabbing the lead

They looked pretty bad against madrid too but those gifts by verane were enough

 

[phillycavsfan]

It is bro
They gave lyon no respect

If anything, they're giving them too much respect. Pep set this City team up to play right into Rudi Garcia's hands.

Like, I'd sub Mahrez or Bernardo on ASAP.
