Champions League 2016/17

Monaco is disastrous in second half so far.

 

[Devils]

It looks like Monaco burned themselves out after the first half.

Aguero thinks he's playing for Argentina tonight by the looks of it.

 

[Meatball]

Man City are playing much better now, I like the young one with curvy fluffy hair on City side, he s so quick!

Aguero

It is quite similar imo.
Plus, "the system" how people often say on forum (more than just a formation) is still good-old Pep's "system".
1 short forward (Aguero), 2 fast shorter wingers, short technical Cm/Amc in David Silva.
KDB is the only taller player out of attacking 5.
They can't cross to a Cf and they don't have any other options, but a classic Pep's option: pass the ball around the box till death and hope for the best.

Yeah, but we were talking more about formations not system before.

I don't believe that teams have figured out 433. At least we can't say that just on our and City example (City didn't even play 433 this season IIRC). You can play every formation if you have the right players. But of course probably no team will ever be as dominant in 433 as we were during the best Xaviesta years.

 

[El Flaco]

I'm really scared that Monaco are gonna bottle this....

They are. They did everything wrong in the second half.

 

[Messi983]

Sane, well deserved

 

[Yannik]

Sanè looks like one of the fastest players on the planet

 

[Richard.H]

Monaco looks really gassed

 

[Raketa10]

I really don't understand how you manage to burn yourself so much in first 45 min

 

[JamDav1982]

Pep there telling Man City to stay in corner and celebrate to waste time looked like.

Poor show. Thats Mourinho style stuff.

 

[ThwiX]

Such a massive contrast between the 1st half and 2nd. Monaco completely out of it.

 

[Meatball]

V just mentioned him and he scores, nice goal!

 

[Raketa10]

If you press Monaco and take the ball away from them they become absolutely ineffective.
