Match Thread | Real Madrid vs Man City (09/05/23)

[lust overlord]

Fucking hell, this place is fucking mental tonight

Relatively normal for a game were behind in.
Most of the jokers will fuck off when we equalise.

 

[Gus Fring]

I think if we ever want to win the competition we have to get a bit of ****, we’re far too nice especially in midfield.

 

[hilts]

Shite ref shite first half front 3 and KDB have been v poor. Let's hope for better second half.

 

[BlueLou82]

We're miles better than them and just haven't attacked at full tilt for whatever reason. KDB and Bernardo MIA, Haaland not in the game.

Wary of the counter? Doesnt explain why players on the ball are literally stopping under no pressure. Been a few times I have thought the whistle had gone as.

Real are letting you have it under zero pressure until you get to the edge of the box and you look like your struggling to figure it out. You need to move the ball faster and take players out of it.

Or maybe happy going into the home leg 0-0 or 0-1.

 

[pudge]

Not worried, we will twat these at the Etihad.

Because we're so threatening right now

 

[RobinHood]

There was one point where gundo passed it back twice for no reason when he could have gone forward that summed that first half up

The assault on him sums up the first half for me.

 

[madloaf]

Fanny wipe talking shite

:)

 

[argyle]

Ederson is a weak link. one fucking shot not even in the corner.
yes they are filthy vile scum of the earth, but we should still be level

He's not in goal for his shot stopping. If u want that you get De Gea.

He's there to start attacks and keep the movement flowing.

 

[nellyonthewing]

This game is showing how little pace we possess.

 

[MaskedAguero10]

Everyone else is taking their sweet time with the ball doing nothing. Rather Kev launch it first time .

There is no one there. Even Haaland didn't make a move. In the prem he is King but in the latter stages of the CL either an injury happens, he's hooked for some reason or he's ineffectual. Nice ball to haaland though early in the game.

 

[B\connellblue]

Ref might be a **** but it's us who's won't shoot.

Back to this tippy tappy shite around the edge of the box.

Madrid go up the other end, take a shot and score.

Yes I thought that shit had ended months back , of all nights to return to it.

 

[Kippax77]

I thought England had won the world cup when they scored listening to Fletch

 

[01cravend]

Refs been shite but that doesn't fully excuse how lacklustre we've been going forward. Take some fucking risks instead of being petrified of them countering

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

VAR doesn’t check for yellows.

I meant how was it not a red.

 

[vmsuhail]

Madrid hasn‘t even done anything and they lead 1-0

Fk off for real. Should‘ve been a 0-0 to HT...

Same like last season, they didn't do anything but scored 6 goals. This is exactly how they play these CL games, spring into life in moments and finish off.

 

[OL2Blue]

Should‘ve been a 0-0 score not 1-0

Those bastards didn‘t do anything

Other than score an absolute worldy

 

[OntarioBlue]

I'd bring on Foden and Mahrez.

The trouble with that is Mahrez gives you nothing in defence and we need to close down the supply line from Camavinga to Vinicius Jr.

 

[abu13]

We have been the better team, fantastic strike that we couldnt do much about.

Keep to the plan but I would like to see us inject more urgency

 

[wolviedinho]

Get Mahrez on for Silva. First touch will send them into a death spiral.

Yea but he won’t tract back and Walker will get roasted

 

[sh249]

Need to regroup, calm down, and get back to playing.
We‘re miles better than them. Need to let the football do the talking. Up the tempo / urgency 5% and we‘ll turn these over. They‘ve produced one moment of (great) quality, otherwise they‘ve shown nothing at all.
