Match Thread | PSG vs. Man City (22/01/25)

[Mancity1980]

How have we gone from a team that it was almost impossible to get the ball off to one that constantly gives it back to the opposition?

I think the lose of Rodri has a lot to do with that.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

We have been poor but where was this PSG team in their other chumps league games

Did you see who they have played.

 

[Blue tiger]

Nunes. There are no fucking words.

Absolutely useless. That pass at the end off the half was ridiculous. Has no football intelligence, keeps hold of it too long or just doesn't see a pass quick enough.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

We need a serious convo abt AKANJI

We need to talk to, Manuel

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Glad it's offsides but sorry thats where VAR is ridiculous to disallow such a goal.

Why offside is offside

 

[daveiw01]

PGMOL would still be drawing lines and finding a way to give it….

Indeed, is the EPL the world's worst VAR setup? Often feels that way.

 

[Cobwebcat]

We need not just one but two CM.

Been the case for a while. We will get them.

 

[come-on-barney]

I know Bluemoon hates Rico, but surely we can all admit now that he is a better option than Nunes?

Not sure either are good enough, there lies the problem.

 

[RobinHood]

GOD BLESS SEMI AUTOMATED OFFSIDE TECH

Thats a goal if it was down to drawing lines in the Premier League.

 

[Bluemoon115]

Is it Gundo time yet?

 

[johnny crossan]

Jack needs to be out there on the left - for Sav or Phil, both are losing the ball for fun.

 

[Damanino]

remember Sporting game? we came out so bad after HT team talk.
went in with 1-1, was 3-1 down in 10 mins or so.

2nd half of Juventus also awful, after 0-0 HT.

hope Pep now does some different Pep talk.

 

[East Level 2]

I thought we were back?

We were. Against the might of Leicester, Salford and Ipswich.

 

[TonyM]

Kolorov, Foden, Gvardiol and Akanji imo have been quite poor.

I'd replace Foden with Grealish. Can't replace the others.

 

[hertsblue]

As it stands if we win v Brugge we still go through

Big If though, they are a decent side and like 95% of teams v us, will walk through our midfield, will have more pace , energy and intensity than us

 

[CΛL]

God knows how Nunes ever played in midfield for anyone

 

[.db.]

Both sides look very much like 24th and 25th level quality in the table from this showing tonight. Very poor.

 

[Ajm1985]

First 10 min mixed, second 10 good, third 10 poor, fourth good (Savinho must flick it over GK, few corners, avoided chances for PSG), last 5 minutes poor.

Not vintage City, but far from shit. We been dangerous few times, KDB, Savinho and even Haaland chances could be it.

Its a tough game. People think PSG had poor results in UCL so they shit, but they strong team, youth, strength leading league comfortably, fighting for their lifes in front of great crowd.

Savinho, Kovacic, Foden, Akanji definitely could do better. Nunes been working hard, need better decision making.

Spot on

 

[jimharri]

The second half of the derby was one of the worst I've ever seen from a Pep team. So cowardly

It's staggering how anyone can say that this is the worst performance of the season. It's not in the top (bottom?) 3, in my opinion.

 

[burning blue soul]

So what you are saying is you are biased against Nunes (so much so that you can't spell his name right) that no matter what he does, you will always judge him more harshly instead of actually judge what you are seeing in front of your very eyes

You're telling me that Nunesssss isn't wasteful with his passing in this game?
That's what you're going wirh?
