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

[Legal Alien]

We played better after they scored.

We need to get Phil more involved, he's wasted out wide.

Pep needs to tell Grealish to run at the FB, he's got the beating of him, if not get Doku on.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Our final third needs to improve if we are getting through to the next round.

Haaland needs to do a bit more. Foden anonymous.

Jack, Akanji, Kev and Rodders immense first half.

That 45 minutes was the quickest I've experienced.

Come on Pep. Another masterclass team talk at half time please.

 

[Blue Potato]

Growing into the game, huge second half coming up. Need to find a way to get Foden more involved somehow though

 

[platty7]

A shot on target would be nice

Boneheaded by Walker for their goal and for the stupid decision to kick towards their fans for the second half

They chose ends Kyle chose the ball at kick off

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

You for real?

Literally every video i seen pre match and on club channel asking fans predictons. Were 4 1 4 0. 3 0 city etc

 

[hilts]

Akanji has been fantastic. But I'll co-sign the Foden playing out wide is nonsense. Move Bernardo outside where he can possess the ball better. Play Foden and Kev in the middle.


Not Rocket science Pep.

Why would Pep put our best attacking player this season in a position where he can do most damage?

 

[thanatos]

Kyle Walker is a pathetic, pathetic player at this point.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

He does not deserve to be starting right now

Thought he had some good moments tbh

 

[Tolmie scores]

If Rudiger gets any closer to him they will be choosing a Dog .

He's playing well Rudiger

 

[Haaland94]

Ederson
Walker, Dias, Gvardiol
Stones, Rodri
Bernardo, Foden, De Bruyne, Grealish
Haaland

This wins the game.

Akanji brilliant defensively, but loses the ball up the field. We need Stonesy, if he is fit.

 

[Tb1981]

Come on city
No champions league knockouts are plain sailing out these cunts under pressure second half
Just remember they scored two in last minute against us
We need to keep patient and it will come

 

[eastmanc]

Why did we start so slowly. We should be getting at them from the start. Get Foden of the right and get him in the middle we KDB.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Kyle Walker is a pathetic, pathetic player at this point.

Never have children.

 

[OntarioBlue]

We have to get Foden and Bernardo involved in the game. Akanji in the middle just isnt working.

 

[bert38]

Still no idea why we started as slowly as we did. There was a point where Ederson just kept the ball for 20 seconds, nobody moving.

They smelt blood, got their goal, and now we're struggling to create a clear chance.

We've enough to turn it round in the second half, but Pep, it's on you to change things.

Indeed-whether it was deliberate or nerves, it allowed them to settle.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

The excessive respect we’re giving them has undermined our own atmosphere. Fans up for it then everyone sees lethargy and caution from the off. Madrid wanted to prevent it becoming a bear pit and yet we did a lot of the work for them, it’s so fucking frustrating. Pep getting it all wrong so far.

 

[mancityscot]

Doku to keep running at the **** on a yellow.
Phil and Kev same team?
We've got this as these are shit

Phil needs to be moved inside, he’s completely wasted on the right.
We’re all over them but they’re defending well and excellent on the counter. Fuck knows how this ends

 

[phargrave]

Must not conceed another. First priority in next 20 mins.

That’s jinxed it!

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Haaland needs to step it up. He’s been so poor up top

He hit the crossbar from a nothing cross and created our best chance for Grealish. This place is hilarious.
