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

[Beanhead]

He's moved inside, he's not playing full back anymore

Also, do we fuck, we've created fuck all

We have had a number of chances mate.

 

[Blu1]

If we start like we normally do we are winning this but that crazy slow start has killed us.

All they have is a counter attack yet we set up to help them

 

[jimharri]

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.

Same. I have faith in the team; just a pity that so many on here don't seem to.

 

[teddykgb]

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

They’ve already swapped Valverde to cover our winger on that side. I think Doku will be a dice roll to take but it won’t be putting Carvajal under much pressure

 

[Lowtower]

Missing Stones in his hybrid role, Akanji is a brilliant defender but it’s breaking down when it goes to him.
Jacks been excellent.
Walkers got me panicking.

First 10 minutes or so was a bizarre start to the game from us.

 

[DisturbedSwan]

How we’re 1-0 down I don’t know. Played really well that first half and dominated the match.

Boos at half time? Unbelievable.

 

[Josh_D]

We're going to need more beer.

Way ahead of you

 

[daveiw01]

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

 

I love him, and he's not been bad, but the ball does bounce off him a heck of a lot, losing possession frequently, to be fair

 

[xmusampa]

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

Haaland has had once of his better team gplauer games for months from what I’ve been watching

 

[BLUEisville]

Anyone fancy being a goal down until minute 90 and then 2 goals to the good to win it in stoppage time?

fancy it about as much as I'd fancy an STI

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

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

This wins the game.

But akanji has been out best player that half ok

 

[Mattyc55]

Phil gone into little brother mode and Bernardo is always superb out wide in these huge games.

Pep got it wrong so far.

 

[Frank the Yank]

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

What the fuck?? Must have been a tag during the naughts…

 

[69FACUPfinal]

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

Well they aren't so far defending well and usual dirty rolling around feigning injury tactics are working. They also have Modric to come on when Kroos tires.

Pep needs to change it and shake it up a bit. It would help if we could score from corners.
And why only 2 minutes injury time??
I have no TNT on tonight but I bet they were pretty delirious when RM scored.

I wish we had a decent bloody defence.

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

It wasn't

I was on a call in real time, only saw replay...

Needed straight calls from fellow blues, cheers.

 

[Kippax77]

He's moved inside, he's not playing full back anymore

Also, do we fuck, we've created fuck all

Kev and Phil in the same team?
Fuckin markin each other

 

[pride in battle]

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

Dick

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

They are tiring, we just need to keep going the way we were for the last half hour, turn the screw and risk taking if needs be. Get one and they will collapse.

Do all that AND keep it fucking tight at the back ffs!

 

[Chak19]

I just don't understand that start though, I thought we were past being nervous at this stage.

 

[Theengelbert]

It's weird but I'm feeling the same way. Win the PL, everything else is gravy.

Same, but I think mainly cos we’re playing well and I still think we’ll win
