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

[Bettys Bell]

I am sick of the TNT commentators, they have been willing City to lose, no commentary, just bleating on and on about how crap we are and advertising other sports in the future. They are gloating, and it makes me sick

Totally agree it’s all negative punditry.

 

[Dax777]

Happy Jack doesn't know how to shoot.

He can run.

 

[stan bowles]

Get savinho, o Reilly and grealish and go for it

And McAtee. Just take some fucking risks and make them earn their win or draw or whatever rather than give them the pre-season friendly we had in the first half.

 

[deano ou812]

There is no magic switch we aren’t suddenly going to back to what we know,the results have us were we are,were we to get through we’d get picked off by any amount of sides,we aren’t one of the top dogs anymore..

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Well this is awkward

 

[Lauz9888]

Have to get Nunes off (out of the club would be preferred). Stones at RB, 3 at the back and Foden in the middle behind Haaland

Even Stones at RB and Nunes as the extra bod in midfield would surely be better?

Well they're right to say it.. we've been shite.

7 leads given up in games.. does that sound like City?

And when we need FIVE midfielders in.. 29 days into the transfer window, we don't even have one in!

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

We're gonna win this 2-1 with a last minute winner.

It sounds more like you have been smoking shit off tin foil, rather than making a hat out of it!

Let's hope you are right though!

We can still win this, we have a full half to do it. If we play the same as the first half we won't do it though. So let's hope we change things a bit.

 

[SWPISHOME]

We deserve to go out, Before tonight we've deserved to go out, That first half performance is our worst 45 mins this season, Pathetic.

Other than Bernie busting his nuts there's nothing positive.

Best to go out tonight instead of getting a battering off a good side. We are bobbins.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

We need to get Gvardiol as far up the pitch as possible and Foden and Savinho alongside Haaland and trying to get in in behind.

This walking football to suit the OAPs we have in midfield doesn't work, Pep should know that from the 15 games or so this season he has tried it and it hasn't worked.

 

[HolisticJim]

Just astonished Nunez hasn’t learned from PSGs first goal. Just defend ffs.

But he's not a defender.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Mute the sound. I do. It helps.

I lasted 16 minutes, a personal worst

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Here come the Scouse cunts

Na first decent team we come up against would maul us over 2 legs.

 

[Beanhead]

Happy Jack doesn't know how to shoot.

Neither do the other two these days.. and Jack can actually run.

 

[malg]

Not exactly going to plan so far. They're making it difficult for us with their low block and we don't really seem to have any ideas to break it down.

Not quite sure why Foden is stuck out on the left when he has been our most dangerous player and top scorer the last few weeks. It's not like we don't have other options for that position. Not a big fan of Stones pushing forward either as it means the FBs have to stay back and can't then make the forward runs to create space.

I'd be tempted to bring Grealish and Savinho on for Gundogan and KDB and let Foden play the KDB role. Drop Stones back into defence too.

All is not lost. Just need to be a bit more creative and cover better against breaks. We can still do this.

Certainly not all lost, but if we come out with the same 11 then it's not looking good.

 

[sir baconface]

Such an easy tactic to beat us. Sit back defend and counter. That's all teams have to do to get at us / cause at problems

Someone at the club might eventually twig.

 

[King Jay]

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

I don’t even think that’s the problem. They just have zero goal threat.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Silly pass ftom Kovavic to Gundogan who then turns in the box and loses it.
We are then over ran and Nunes should have slowed the attack down but attempts a ridiculous attempt at a tackle.

 

[madloaf]

It’s not even hard or skill. Nick the ball and surge 3-4 players forward and we have no legs to recover. Must be 30 goals conceded this year that are identical

To have stones that far up, clogging the space as well. I'd rather our whole back 4 just sat 40 yards from our goal. Make them fucking think about it and also never get countered.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Just astonished Nunez hasn’t learned from PSGs first goal. Just defend ffs.

He can’t learn…he is stupid.
