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

[.db.]

Almost unwatchable with all the buffering this

 

[Paladin]

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

At least it's at least one decent team capable of stopping Liverpool winning it.

 

[Coljj]

The other thing with Stones fitness record now is that the recovery time must be double the average player.

 

[Beanhead]

Yes

So basically.. it’s not the end of the world.

 

[WestGorton]

Four seasons on the row we get them. Bloody cup competitions eh

 

[RiversideBlue]

Come on City. Win it for the real fans, not all the miserable bastard's on here.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Can we take Bernie off for Doku now?

Things arent that bad yet

 

[B\connellblue]

The defenders were both caught out despite their being 1 attacker, 1 CB made a pointless attempt at the ball, the other made fuck all effort to close it down and the keeper came out. We play a high line but immediately going to Pep when the players were at fault is inane.

No it happens far too often and that is on the coach.

 

[pbueno16]

So our sweeper keeper shouldn't be in a sweeping position? Got it.

It's Mbappe up front. You don't gamble coming off your line when he's running down the ball at full tilt.

 

[noseve]

I honestly don't know why people thought we had a chance tonight.

Because we did - we still have a slim chance.
Because they haven't won any of their past 3 La Liga games
Because they've lost to a relegation struggler this month
Because we're coming off a 4-0 win
Because we thought we'd have two top strikers running at them

What a bastard this is, though...

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Will end up with Lewis at left back when Ake breaks down. What the hell's happening with these defensive injuries!

Stones and Ake have always been injury prone

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

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

That's the spirit.

 

[lonestay]

That was ages ago!!
He didn’t injure himself playing for his country. Leave the lad alone.
Thebway some of you go on you’d think John Stones decided oh I think I’ll get injured here. HE FLAMING WELL DOESN’T AND GIVES 100% WHEN HE IS ON THST PITCH.

Well he does give 100% when he is on the pitch , it's just he can't stay on the pitch these days

 

[ninjamonkey]

Khusanov might end up slapping foden tonight if that's the level of help foden is going to be offering him tonight. Bernardo needs to be on the right to help, foden is the last player in the squad you'd want helping out.

Yep.
Love the lad.
But he's finished now.
Can't stay fit.
Unfortunately add him to the list who need replacing.
With kev and silva

 

[hertsblue]

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

We seem to have a complete lack of competent coaching staff left at the club. Zero structure to our defending, same schoolboy errors most weeks and baffling tactics re the high line which costs us so often, awful set pieces and probably the most injury prone and unfit team in the PL.
Pep needs a strong number 2 but we seem to lack that now

 

[super_city_si]

Fuck knows what peps done with the front line

 

[ThreesKompany]

Foden in the middle vs. the right seems to make more sense.

 

[Mancity1980]

Stones made of glass

Limestone

 

[skillman]

Love Nico. Everything is one or two touch and every pass has a purpose.
