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

[city saint]

weve bossed it they scored a worldy

 

[Blue warrior]

Madrid almost look like they’re waiting for a mistake from us and kill us with pace. Wish we had a tad more pace too.

 

[MichaelBBack]

Grealish needs to stop reacting and getting involved with shitty arguments. Happened in several of the last few games now and it seems he’s being targeted because they know he will respond.

This argument can fuck off. He's getting the crap kicked out of him and the ref does nothing. He's allowed to have a little snap back. We're not a team of little bitches.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Our deepest two thirds of the pitch we've been excellent, rest of the pitch we've been awful. I get it's boiling but playing at walking pace suits them entirely, it is literally playing into their hands.

Where's the fucking intensity, someone go at a man, at least try and create a chance, posession cpunts for nothing when we dont even get a shot out of it.

Get grealish off at halftime, done absolutely nothing and isnt clever enough to keep a lid on it, will get himself sent off before he even gets Carvajal booked. Get foden on who will take him on and actually go past him.

We were WELL ontop until Rudiger got away with forearm-smashing Gundogan in the face.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

I am shocked at the reffing.

Did we really expect anything else? Not sure why they only added 2 mins either. Even so we've still got more than a say in the tie.
Come on City !

 

[bert38]

I'm very worried, I don't know if Guardiola is capable of doing something for us to win this game.

We lack pace-it’s v apparent in games of this quality. A left footed defender would help-but it’s where we are.
We can’t fall into their traps.

 

[Sky Blue]

Has that **** Fletcher stopped cheering the goal yet.

 

[JoeD]

It was unjust to keep Mahrez on the bench when he has been so effective as of late.

Ah, the algerian Mahrez supporter with his daily contribution.

 

[Champions again in 2012]

How the fuck has Cavahal and Rudiger not been booked. Cavahal has accumulated enough fouls for two fucking yellow cards. And don’t start me on the decision to play advantage when Stones was taken out on the edge of the box. Once again getting shafted by the referee

 

[youngbob]

Same as always in this competition. Madrid can do what they want at the Bernabeau while the refs just watch on. Keep this to one goal and do them back at the Etihad.

 

[daveiw01]

The players need to stop allowing Real's shithousing and bad ref decisions to effect them.

Keep your composure and take your fucking chances!!

Easier said than done, when you have a ref actively assisting their gameplan.

 

[gray740]

Like playing palace really they normally pop a worldy in as well.

 

[Chi-town blues]

ref **** will give red to any of city players for tackle as madrids,
fix is hard on

 

[yankblue]

The officiating hasnt been great but theyve been better and have created more chances. Lets call a spade a spade here

 

[ShaunMCFC]

The thing I don't understand is why Grealish didn't drive the ball to that bastard fuck Karvajal even once?
Fucking fucking...

Think he probably gets told to keep hold of it

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

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

What have you been smoking?

 

[ArdwickBlue_M12]

We got to be more direct in the second half. to much passing with no purpose. we have a big number 9. get the ball in the box. grealish needs to take that prick carjaval on rather than passing it back inside. still think we can turn the game round. cmon blues!!

 

[Blue-Ghana]

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 is not an elite-class shot-stopper.

 

[Zenmanc]

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

No offense mate but I think everyone and their brother's been saying that.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Bar a few minutes of madness, we were clearly the superior team last season.

I think we need to focus more on our strengths rather than theirs….
