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

[kashmir]

Yes agreed

Plus another 90

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

It's easier to give up on your team, take zero accountability and blame the refs.

 

[Scottyboi]

Rodri’s misplaced pass and Thugigers elbow put us off track after a promising start.

Still early days and it’s important that we don’t panic. A 1-0 loss is not the end of the world either.

Yep I thought it was the rodri misplaced pass that changed the momentum.

 

[Blue2202]

Shown zero intent to go forward and score despite that early spell of good possession, its like each attacking player is leaving it to someone else to do. But once again not helped by an absolute prick of a referee, they aren't anything special but we need to show our true selves second half. UP THE BLUES

 

[MaskedAguero10]

Also, why are city treating this like it's a Fucking league game. This is real Madrid. We keep trying to over control matches, meaningless possession and now what? What has that done for us? We're 1-0 down . Why have we brought haaland? So we can have some more dynamism and directness. We need to play a bit more direct and stop trying to slow every fucking attack.

 

[pee dubya]

It's okay but we can't concede again without scoring ourselves.

Last 15 mins of the half lost our way, but I think we're the better team. Time to show.

 

[Nascent Blues]

Need someone like Fernandinho

The thing is, you just fucking know that the moment we start dishing it back, we'll be in the book before the **** can get it out of his pocket.

 

[MadchesterCity]

1-0 is certainly not irretrievable next week. On that basis, I'd settle for that now.

Fuck that

 

[Revolver]

It’s not easy being against the masters of this comp who are being ridiculously indulged by a poor ref.

But we are just keeping possession for the sake of it. If we are not trying to score we are asking for trouble.

Personally I would take 1-0 and take our chances at the Ethiad.

 

[Brewster's millions]

We’re better than them. We just need to be more aggressive in the final third and keep calm in the face of some pretty rough treatment.

Being a goal behind before the game at our place wouldn’t be a disaster.

Haaland needs to step it up in the second half.

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

One shot one goal.

Why does this happen so much??

Teams don’t get many shots against us so the odds are lower.

 

[bluevengence]

Camel gob wanking over Madrid...****

 

[yankblue]

What? Created more chances? How?

Benzema mishandled one in the box very early on that got by Walker

Another mishandle that led to the handball but very easily couldve been more

The obvious goal

Theyve been better. Its fine to admit it. Its not just officiating

 

[stan bowles]

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.

He does need some protection though. Carvajal took his legs away on a counter, then shoved him into the hoardings and then barged him over. Any player would get pissed off being assaulted like that.

 

[Erling9]

why are we back to the passing aimlessly for 45mins from earlier season??

 

[Tevez City]

We can still beat them & their Ref.

Just keep the believe and keep trying City

 

[Worsleyweb]

If it stays 1-0 it will be absolutely rocking at ours next week. Match day thread beyond bonkers and I can only assume full of kids and clueless new fans so I am out: about time the moss started to vet match day threads with posters with 1000 plus posts for me?

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

First foul by Grealish 2nd half gets him a yellow, it’s how this shite ref rolls.

 

[Bald fraud]

Owen talking sense again.
NUUUUUURSE!!!!
