Match Thread | Man City vs. Fluminense (22/12/23)

[Marklr]

World football is in a right state, if this is suppose to be the best team in South America

They probably are really good against any other opposition.

 

[stan bowles]

We'll have to go for cold weather training after this tournament to re-acclimatise ourselves to be ready for Everton.

 

[RayCTID]

A decent half. Just hope we don't switch off. Still got to be very wary of Flu's capabilities.

 

[Barcon]

Shite crowd, not helped by a **** with a drum and robbie savage mumbling in the corner of the room.

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

Hope we start 2nd half really on it and go for third. Flu will start fast too I expect.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Looks incredibly hot out there.

Young Rico had struggled physically, whether it’s the heat not sure.

Ake immense.

Ake has been great. Solid at the back, playing some great passes and his shot at the start was brilliant.

 

[Blue Calx]

Depressing commentary.Has someone died?

 

[rabby]

Unusual to have a commentary that's giving us more praise than we probably deserve.

 

[bewaresutekh]

Fluminese play a fun brand of football with the ball and a great style of kick-the-fucker without it.

The South American final was brilliant to watch

 

[paulchapo]

sounds like excuses to me mate.

We are treble winners. We're five points off the top of the premier league in spite of being well below par. We're in the last 16 of the champions league and currently winning this world cup thing or whatever it's called. If you think the team last season over achieved you know nowt or you're wumming.

 

[Bob Hope]

Not doing to bad

2-0 up and looking comfortable.

Bit like against Palace!

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Decent enough. Fluminense are decent in their own box but can barely make a worthwhile pass outside of it.

I don’t think we need much in terms of changes but Rico is looking lost again.

 

[GornikDaze]

2-0 up and looking comfortable.

Bit like against Palace!

Bah humbug!!!

 

[big gaz]

Shite crowd, not helped by a **** with a drum and robbie savage mumbling in the corner of the room.

He's my MOTM currently - been outstanding

I will say I’ve always loved these Fluminese kits. So distinctive and a great badge too despite its similarity to Rangers.
