If your work consists of 90 minutes at most twice a week then you damn sure should be giving 100% every time, especially if fans are paying money to pay you hundreds of thousands a week so that can be your job. You must realize they work a lot more than that. Hell, the cliche line here for American football is that we pay guys to train Monday through Saturday, the Sundays are for free. But either way, it's pretty human, whether on the pitch or in a corporate office setting to see shit collapsing and stop giving a fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must realise that if Messi slacks off for 40 minutes in training I don't care. Obviously they train throughout the week but what they train for is those 90 minutes. It is nonsensical to compare that to a regular job where you're working with direct impact all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljkeane Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Er, I want City to lose but the ball goes through the offside player's legs and that's not offside? That doesn't feel right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah so what you're saying is that even Messi was at his best he's not got anything to add to a football game so him sitting out and not contributing makes no difference. Strange attitude to take about at worst the second greatest player of all time but if you believe so yeah that's fair enough. eta: that's a miss and a half by Sterling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Pep overthinks himself into another embarrassing CL exit. Lyon were excellent though. They rode their luck at times but also had the wherewithal to not become overly defensive, drop too deep and become hemmed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His tendency to always overthink these Champions League knock out games is getting a bit weird. Ok Lyon did well against City last year but, firstly, they had a better team last year with Fekir, Ndombele and Mendy and, secondly, they finished 7th in Ligue 1 this year. Why are City changing their system to match up with Lyon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemon the Leaner Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I would like to add, not only did Pep overthink his tactical approach, but what was he thinking when keeping Foden & Bernardo on the bench for the whole game ? I mean, dude has 5 substitutions at his disposal, he brings Mahrez on at 55", then fuck all until the 83" ?? Whilst the game is still 1-1 ??
