The presumption is had they scored one of the missed chances, they would've kept scoring but that's theory and not reality. In reality, when they did score, Monaco took over the initiative and eventually scored the winning goal. What could've happened is not bankable. What's bankable though, is what you already have or had on the score board like the 5 goals from leg 1 and the 1 goal last night before they scored the third. In both of those bankable situations, City was in the driver's seat and in control of their destiny.txj wrote:I don't know that defending or lack thereof was necessarily the key issue in the loss.

This is CL. There are no easy opponents at this level of the competition. Yaya played well in the first leg and even though Pep initially started with an attacking plan - which I understand because its his philosophy, and even though I disagree with his approach, Yaya wasn't an option when they were down and chasing the game at 0-2 but he could and should have brought on Yaya after they had finally managed to battle back and edge ahead on away goals rule with less than 20 mins left. Generally, when teams are holding onto a slim lead with less than 20mins left against a difficult opponent (especially away from home), the manager tightens up the remaining midfield gaps with subs with further consideration on defending set pieces and obvious desperate aerial balls that are lumped in the box with the clock winding down. All the winning manger do this including many that have an attacking philosophy. This one is mostly on Pep and I'm far from his biggest critic but he & City didn't have to go out like this. They should be in the QF.

Paris SG did this against Barcelona and I was told that it was their playing style. Meanwhile Rabiot, Veratti and Matuidi kept losing the ball right in front of their 18. Irritating!! Spurs does it sometimes and Dier, slow coach Dier, gets caught out.tfco wrote:Sevilla did the same against LCFC and I kept thinking "wtf"anointed wrote:The way his team passed the ball lethargically at the back was annoying.

You are played a team that is pressing you, and here you are passing at the back
Do these NDL coaches scout their opponents?
