UEFA Champions League: Manchester City v Celtic

Gene : 9/28/2016 3:18 pm
Anyone else watching? Wild first half so far.

2-2...Dembele (3'), Sterling (OG, 20')...Fernandinho (12'), Sterling (28')
This match has been nuts

Celtics offside on their first goal, and Fernandinho nearly off on his equalizer. Bad luck for Sterling hustling back on defense only to have the cross go off him and in. He was rewarded handsomely though and his goal to even the score was beautiful.

City really missing KDB in a game like this, and he'll be out 4 weeks. You get the sense Aguero will break through here soon. Zaba seems to be struggling to my eye.
Celtic, that is

Autocorrected to Celtics.
Dembele

puts Celtic up 3-2 in the 47'.
Jesus...

City needs to burn the tape of the first 3 minutes of each half. Terrible clearance attempt by Kolarov.
Wow

Just like that, 3-3. Nolito equalizes.
What a game

Is KdB injured?

Tweaked hammy. 4 weeks. What else is new, right?
Oh shit. Four weeks?

Damn.

Sterling has looked really good so far this season.
How is that not a card for Tierney?

B, yes...Sterling, along with Fernandinho and Kolarov are reinvented under Pep. Waiting for Silva to round into the form we've come to know as well. He's had some good run as of late.

Yeah they look like they're lacking in the middle. He's had some bad luck getting nicked up.
Sterling is like the perfect player for a Pep system

I think he has every chance at becoming a huge world star.
By the way who designed Man City's third kit this year?

Orange, purple and pink? Really?

Looks very Barca-ish. I wonder if anyone at City has had any experience at Camp Nou... ;-)
Bah!

Celtic hold on for a draw.

City was sloppy. Kolarov made the definitive mistake and Celtics first goal was offsides. Oh well.
Big match Sunday morning

Against Tottenham. Need to rebound from this sloppy showing.
