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

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

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

This wins the game.

Akanji was our best player for me.

 

[Shuffs]

Ontop, they've really not shown that much.

Pep will get his wrench out at HT and fix it.

Plenty of encouragement in that half

 

[samuelyeboah]

Defensive line. defensive line. defensive line. offside trap. every time, someone's breaking it. someone's not alert. someone drops too deep. every time

That **** needs a fucking factory reset. He's a product of today's society. How the fuck he's not been banged amazes me.
I'd give the **** a dig and I'm the wrong side of 50.

Feel oddly relaxed about this. We’ve been the better team, I think we’ll get the goal second half. Or not. Can’t expect to win it every year.

We've been on control. But not better. We've been slow and sluggish

 

[pride in battle]

Fucking idiotic

Kick to the south stand and third tier our singing section you knob

How the fuck is this bellend even there. The stadium was full of tourists before the game too and loads of Madrid in the home end. I was kicked out because of a scuffle with Madrid fans in the home end I had nothing to do with too. So fucking annoying that pricks like him are taking my place

 

[burning blue soul]

This game is like every home prem game this season. Concede early against a counter with their 1st attempt and we then press them to death without a breakthrough.
Usually come out on top, but they are a good side, no doubt. Got to keep that back door closed or the game will be gone.

Need Pep to work his magic now, need to up the tempo a little more but not be reckless

 

[Beanhead]

Jack is playing well, but think we will see the count Doku on if things stay the same for too much longer. He will either create of force a second yellow on Danny boy.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Haaland is offering nothing

He’s not splitting their centre backs or creating space so let’s not use that myth

Alvarez would offer much more threat in the 2nd half

Kev is creating a bit but looks slow & offering no defensive cover. Put Phil in middle & doku on for me

How are you blaming Haaland?

he has hit the bar, put a good ball back into the middle which nobody got on the end of and also had some good play to put Grealish through but Jack had a poor touch and couldn't put it back towards haaland

He's been one of our better players and looked a threat but our final ball has been lacking

 

 

[christened at st marks]

Phil RW what does Pep expect

 

[daveiw01]

Boos?

I'm good thanks.

 

[Kippax77]

Pep's masterclass tonight so far, is start slow stay cool and i will make Akanji look like Platini

 

[Blue warrior]

Rodri looks like he needs more rest to me

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Real Madrid supporters had nothing to fear with this ref. He is 100% behind them. As for us not doing to badly could do with a little extra bit of good fortune with our chances.

Politics. Two Spanish sides crashed out yesterday, can't have a third crashing out today. We have to turn this around ourselves as this ref wouldn't give us anything

 

[Legal Alien]

That was terrible defending by Walker for the goal.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Think Doku would be a good option after an hour.

We need to start pinging some shots in and speeding our play up a bit.

 

[JULES]

I`m still confident we will win this, their luck will run out
