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

Need Kevin in this game as quickly as possible

Need to tell both Ruben and Kyle to stay back

Need Bernardo off and Mahrez or Foden on

Need no more than x2 goal deficit post match

But we can do this or better

We are not getting best of decisions but you
wouldn't expect it here versus Los Blancos...

 

[The Colonel]

We are playing so bad. Kev and Bernardo are so out of it

Are we fuck. Get behind them.

 

[johnevans]

Appalling officiating, absolutely appalling.

Rudiger and Kroos should both be off. Thugs.

Keep your heads in the second half lads and give them nothing else. We can do these over two legs.

C'mon City!

I don't rate them at all, they've had one freak goal and that's it.

To be fair though, they're pretty quick on the counter, albeit it not that often, it enough to worry me, at least.

 

[SidJames]

When we had control in the first 20 minutes. at that point we should have got the ball in the box to Haaland but we were to busy passing with no purpose

I think were contented to play out for a draw tbh.

When the reality is we could beat these on their own Turf.

We still might run out 2,3, - 1 winners.

I don't mind being 1-0, I hate conceding that goal in the same fucking way (RB getting turned). Remember Fernandinho?

 

[SouthernPlastic]

Giving them way too much time to get back into shape. Kind of feel like with Madrid you have to climb into the pit with them and let things get chaotic.

 

[SCEtoAUX]

These are one wonder goal better than Brighton. Need Jack to keep his cool, but yet again we are playing against 12 men.

 

[BlueMooner87]

Should‘ve been a 0-0 score not 1-0

Those bastards didn‘t do anything

I'd hardly say they did nothing, they didn't have much of the ball but when they attack they cut through us like a hot knife through butter.
Thanks fuck for Diaz clearance and benzema handball or it could look alot worse.

 

[christened at st marks]

Kicking Gundo out of the game allowed to get away with it, he was controlling the game until Rudiger went through him without a free kick. Ancelotti then changed the set up and game, Pep needs to adjust.

 

[wolviedinho]

Real will score again. We need to take the next chance that comes to us.

 

[argyle]

Said all week we need to stop Vinicius and the midfield and defence allowed him through on goal

 

[oldius]

Think this has been Bernardo silva worst game in a City shirt

Camavinga is absolute quality and has been the boss.

 

[Ric]

Thought we started pretty well for the first 20 minutes or so, but have been a bit of the pace since. Not really posing a threat going forward, and given possession away cheaply a few times. Just need to compose ourselves and stay in the tie. Not being helped by some poor officiating and usual shithousery from Madrid, but we need to up our game here.

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Golden rule in football. Score when you're on top.

And have the ref in your pocket.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

We're in Madrid bossing the game.
We just need to start creating clear chances.
Ancelloti playing proper Italian football, defend deep and hit us on the break.
Big half time, we HAVE to remember we don't have to win tonight. Losing 1-0 is not a disaster

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I think we are playing really well. It’s a very close game.

I’d like foden to come on in the second half and get some of his pace in behind their defence

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Anyone blaming ederson for that needs to give their head a wobble

Hit with venom and he sees it late

It was a great finish to be fair completely against the run of play, 0-0 would of been fair so far but that's just football.

 

[coliotte]

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

How is "tract back" working out so far?

 

[Don Karleone]

Honestly, what is the point? I'm struggling to see it. We're getting nothing tonight, it was predetermined before the game.
