Match Thread | Real Madrid vs. Man City (18/02/25)

[Mr. Shush]

As much as I love Stones, you can't keep a player around who can't string together more than a few games because of injuries.

This. This take i get routinely shouted down and down voted on Reddit. But you simply cannot rely on him. I love the guy but he just cannot stay healthy.

Had to mute the comms with McPointy on it, wanker.

 

[heslops barnet]

Vintage Stones, sadly.

Good performance on Saturday and another injury on the Wednesday.

We need to move him on in the summer, unfortunately.

Been like that for a long time

 

[Dax777]

No the problem is that none of Dias or Stones are ready do drop when they see we have no press on the ball

That too

 

[deano ou812]

Can't believe how many people thought we had a chance on the pre match thread

You always have a chance part of the reason we love football you just never know..

 

[Gabriel]

Pace through the centre of defence was an evident weakness last season and one we ignored until January; we’ve still no idea if it’s even been rectified. Going out tonight, presumably, will hurt, but there can be no more ignoring warning signs and no more sentimentality.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Madrid allowing us loads of possession around the halfway line knowing that we’re just going to play square and backward passes. If we get too far up tge field they’ll hit us on the break.

 

[Silva&Silva]

Dirty fucking fascits.

 

[Infinite blue]

Remember spurs away FACup, Gillingham play off. Nothing is done till it's done!

 

[Mad_fer_it]

More school boy errors at the back. Why the high line against the fastest forward in world football? Just drop off give yourself a chance. FML

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

That’s great but could you answer my question please lol

I've no idea.
They will probably change it to suit Madrid anywau

 

[BlueMonkey79]

You might regret that post mate

I very much doubt that! We are pap against decent opposition this season.

 

[wattle]

No worries. we need to score 3 or 4 and see where it brings us. Cant give a flying fck about Stones. Always injured so not te be trusted. Unfortunately but reality.

Nothing changed yet. Come on City.

Wow!!!!!

 

[blueste41]

Nothing’s really changed. I felt we needed to score 2 because they would definitely score at some point. Good to get it out of the way early doors.

Well now we need to score 3 so that's a change?

 

[Bluewars II]

Where are all the posters who were optimistic about our chances tonight, bunch of jokers!

 

[stan bowles]

Stones has never been able to play three games in week. I don't get why they keep forcing these players to do more than they can. Been story of season.

The others have had to cover for Stones during his numerous injury absences. Now with Akanji out, Ake still plagued and DIas only just back it was reasonable to expect Stones to be able to hold his end of the bargain up. But no, a non contact injury after 6 minutes has done for him.

 

[lee one pen]

I very much doubt that! We are pap against decent opposition this season.

Let’s see

 

[mancityscot]

Such a shame we’re off it this season. I hate these fuckers, would love to completely annihilate them here

 

[Silva&Silva]

The Allies 1-0 Real Madrid.

 

[Tomblue]

Been said time and again but the commentary is so bad. No wonder no one pays for TNT anymore.
