Ok we lost the game but the result could and should have been boosted with more goals, only Joe Hart was actually stretched to make two brilliant saves, one in each half, the first he palmed away and the other he stopped with his feet.
Both teams hit the woodwork, City won the Corner count 8-2 but both sides made 13 attempts at goal with Juve having more on target 5-2.
City should have taken the lead as Fernandinho with a great opportunity blasted over instead of burying it, the result was that Juve went up field carved City up like lattice pastry and a scored a good goal with city shouting for a foul on Otamendi, but this fell on deaf ears and to be fair it was never going to be disallowed by a homer of a ref in Dr. Brych.
The good Dr. booked three city players two in the same incident, which the writer believes wasn't a foul in the first place, but it was not the first or last confusing decision by the referee.
Aguero came off for Sterling as Pellgrini continues Sergio's comeback. with Delph ealier replacing Fernandinho who had been booked and probably would have seen red with this ref. Disaster struck after Harty had made his second telling save, as he came off with a suspected hamstring injury which almost certainly put him out of Saturdays match and possibly a few others as well as City injury crisis both worsens and gets better with Silva and bony nearing full fitness.
Sterling should have equalised, but as Fifthcolumnblue said in the match day thread, had we someone who could cross, we would have won this game.
the good news is that we did put up a good show but were let down by some poor finishing and crossing.
if Juventus win their last match they win the group and we can look forward once again to meeting Barcelona
If juve lose and we win, we look forward to getting PSG, so no matter what we do UEFA will stitch us up again.
