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

[CΛL]

KDB doesn’t have the physicality for this type of game at the moment, looks like he’s a retired player playing in soccer aid

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Big half coming up. Come on City!!

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Hopefully Pep's giving them a much needed kick up the arse at halftime.
Someone should buy Pep a bull whip.

Hopefully he's flipping tables.

 

[bluemoon32]

36% possession, mad for a Pep side

 

[TheBlueCat]

We need to create an overload in midfield, sometimes I wonder why Haaland is playing in a game like this. His contribution is next to nothing.. I guess we are just praying he manages to convert one of the chances he gets..

 

[Coljj]

Akanji got done twice now with one-two's. The first time he got away with reaching in blind to poke it away.

If the pass was a bit firmer or the attacker was right footed he would been late and given away a penalty.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Far worse players on the pitch than Nunes but unfortunately he doesn't have the credit in the bank like the others have so it's easier just to go after him for some people.

Correct, but he threatens to do something really good and his final pass or decision has been poor on a good few occasions. He should be doing a Walker and getting on his bike, loads of space in front of him and he has the physicality to get up and down the pitch all day.

Wish he would show a bit of arrogance / balls and he could make something of his City career.

 

[Beanhead]

PSG are far better than they were out of possession, but far worse at attacking.

We can win here, but we need the first goal.

Exactly my thoughts.. have far more heart but far less ability.

 

[skillman]

Hope not. Savinho’s burst of speed is vital to making sure Haaland isn’t isolated.

 

[bluemoon32]

Come on Cityyyyyy

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Was he adjudged to be off side or was he off side
There's a big difference

Miles off.

Different postcode.

;-)

 

[OntarioBlue]

Looking at the table I’m not really concerned. A win vs Brugge guarantees us going through. We’ve played well here. If we had legs in midfield we’d be all over them

Doesn’t it just guarantee a play off ?

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Thats surprising, although i heard we are using a different version to the one UEFA is using?

We are. They’re going with a new completely untested system that theoretically is more accurate but didn’t exist when they approved the use of SAOT.

Classic Prem.

 

[sh249]

We were doing it last season, too, however. We now tend to play a front 4 that genuinely struggle to keep possession.

yeah. back end of the treble season we had stones, rodri, gundogan, grealish and bernardo keeping the ball forever. since then, we’ve switched to having more risk takers and fewer who can control things - and we’ve looked much worse for it.

 

[GLBlue1995]

Can we have the real Bernardo back?

Got a time machine?

It's semi automated, which should have come our this season, and it's very accurate. He was offside.

 

[skillman]

Exactly my thoughts.. have far more heart but far less ability.

To be fair, it’s hard to have much more ability than Neymar and Messi up top. And the younger version of Mbappe. Joke of players. Just lazy fuckers!

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Are any of you able to coach how to take a decent corner? If so get yourself down to the CFA asap. Taking a short corner and it ends back with Ederson about 5 passes later, is not on at this level. Happens far to often.

 

[wolviedinho]

Fuck knows what game TNT are watching. City have created more chances

The hate city game is the only game they watch. Iv changed over as it was starting to drive me mad. The over the top praise for psg v the hateful comments or no comments towards city is a disgrace.

No respect for the premier league champions nor the fact we won this cup not long ago.

 

[No.8]

The one positive is somehow it’s still 0-0. Can see City hurting them on the counter but they have to stop Neves and Co. dictating the play. Big 45 minutes coming up
