Rival watch

Come on Sutton

 

City take the lead against Monaco. Close offside decision, but I think Sterling's just on.

 

Failcow equalises for Monaco, as City's fragile defence opens up again.
Awful kick out by Cabellero, as their keeper woes continue.

 

Not for long!

Monaco looking good.

 

****ing about with goalkeepers at the back. It's the new suicidal back-pass without looking .

 

Aguero goes down in the box and the ref has to make a big decision. He's booked.
Keeper definitely made contact with him. Doubt Guardiola would've got the same decision at his previous clubs.

 

Only because Aguero wanted him to.

 

2-1 to Monaco! Total turnaround in the space of about ten minutes.
Awful defending as a free-kick from Monaco's half is played straight down the middle and fired home.

 

Oh that defence......

 

It's definitely a debatable one. City will be furious about it.

 

Monaco look like they are going to score every time they attack.

 

City are playing a high line with no pressure from the midfield. It's suicide.

 

Gotta also credit Monaco's attacking play. They are so dangerous. Would love a couple of their players at spurs.

Talking of which, we've been linked with Kylian M'Bappe today, who has just scored.

 

Falcao

 

We've been linked with him for the past couple of weeks - so naturally he just bumped up his fee by another £6m...

 

We would be outbid on all fronts anyway. We can't be the only ones interested, surely?!

 

What'll likely happen is we'll make a bid of £18m, Monaco will entertain the bid yet stall, and then have Mbappe sign a new deal - before selling him for £36m to one of our direct rivals a few weeks later.

Given that's exactly what they did when we bid for Martial, suffice to say it wouldn't surprise me if they tried something similar...

 

Ref has given Monaco a penalty for that

 

Penalty to Monaco. Really? This ref's going to get hammered afterwards.

 

Piss poor penalty
