Match Thread | Man City vs. Brugge (29/01/25)

Can’t blame the players. The buck stops with Pep, he picks them.

 

[hertsblue]

We deserve to go out for having 29 days of the transfer window and going into the game with square peps in round holes again on both wings, RB and complete incompetence in not addressing the midfield issues

 

[heslops barnet]

Lose the ball on the edge of their box then bang 1 nil down. Damn.

Happens a lot

 

[Beanhead]

Still fancy us to win

Keep the faith

I don’t, not today. Only if he makes half time changes which he won’t.

 

[Goldust]

When you consistently try to play through the middle of the pitch and lose the ball with an overs 30s team with 0 legs you deserve everything you are going to get.

 

[robbieh]

Frankly if Pep is going to continue with this sort of football it's probably better he leaves.

Bernie had a great game on Saturday in the middle. He's been useless wide right for some time. Foden should be playing there.

Substitutes required now. If he doesn't make any he's lost the plot.

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

Huge gap in midfield when the ball broke because Kova had pushed up too far and Stones dropped too deep
Nunes done up like a kipper by their winger
No one tracking the runner from midfield

Gvardiol far too narrow leaving acres of space as he often is when teams attack

 

[red 2 hats]

Slow and predictable dirge

 

[deano ou812]

It’s like watching a legends 11 a lot just don’t have the energy or pace ..

 

[King Jay]

At least the moaners now have something to moan about.

Yup couldn’t wait long enough to hate on Nunes

 

[uwerosler28]

No defense but the crowd are actually abysmal tonight not generating a atmosphere of a must win game

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Start 4 30 year olds and we lose. Always!!! Get some young legs on the damn field Pep!!!

Do we a favour and stick to your Trump thread

 

[kevodevo]

45 mins to go - I’ll reserve judgement until then - I have an opinion but I’ll wait till the end - in hope ! Getting mugged again was not part of the plan though but 45 mins ! Let’s see - come on blue boys !

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Thought we were supposed to be treating this like a cup final???

Hang on...we are. Exactly like the last cup final we played in!! Woeful.

 

[thegoatsthegoat]

Oh and I would love Ederson to actually ever dig us out the shit when needed. Nunes was shite but it wasn't even near post which would be bad enough, it was central.

Is the correct answer.

 

[Twisted-wheel]

Zero pace in the team, like running in mud some of these

 

[phargrave]

It’s so fucking obvious. The opposition are literally waiting for the bad pass and know they can kill us on transition. Everyone can see it.

So can every team unfortunately

 

[madloaf]

Nunes is dumb, thats his problem

His concentration is the problem. So frustrating.

 

[kanovic]

Pep is picking these players & 99% of football fans can’t understand it never mind most city fans who are baffled.

Pep is becoming a bigger issue than these players. Nunes, Gundy, Kev should not be playing end of. Certainly not starting in a game we must win.

Savio & jack on the bench whilst pensioners are playing is shocking!

Beside savio no one on our bench would do better..
