Match Thread | Man City vs. Real Madrid (17/04/24)

[Alexia_Ko]

Madrid are very good on the ball

 

[DMA's]

Haaland needs to hold the ball better. Twice in 20 mins lost it whilst trying to hold off the cb

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Haaland needs to do better

 

[Blueknows]

Can Phil and Bernardo swap positions please

RM TV masquerading as TNT sport

 

[Paul1970]

We are miles better than Madrid and we just need that bit of luck

 

[Josh_D]

Same as last year but we’re a goal behind. Just keep passing it and don’t try running into traffic with it.

Why I’d be ok with Kyle staying at the back. Ran into traffic earlier in the match

 

[Nellies left peg]

Haaland is the weak link. He’s getting bossed by Nacho FFS

His first touch has been awful so far

 

[geek24601]

Let’s be honest. The way we have defended this season has been shocking so it should come as no surprise we have lost yet another soft goal.

 

[Mancity1980]

I am convinced we are going to score here, not so sure we won’t concede any more though.

 

[youngbob]

Getting better. Just dunno why it's Akanji and not Stones in there.

 

[pudge]

My kingdom for Haaland to control and hold the ball up just once

 

[DMA's]

Madrid defensive shape so much better than last year. Carlo winning the tactical battle atm

 

[vicblueman]

Haaland got a lot to learn on shielding a ball

 

[yankblue]

Just hope we don’t push up to far and leave us exposed at the back….

Don't be silly we'd never be that naive!

 

[Blueknows]

We are miles better than Madrid and we just need that bit of luck

And better finishing

 

[Bluemoon115]

We scored all three from outside the area last week, so stop overplaying outside the box.

 

[roy.or.r]

Why tf are we committing these silly fouls?

 

[Akiva]

We're clearly the better team, just bad luck so far including for their goal

 

[Mancity1980]

Haaland got a lot to learn on shielding a ball

He has plenty of time to learn.
