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

[Mr. Shush]

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.

Yeah, I mean there's only 13 games left in the league. Dias just back. Ake probably not fully fit. Who's left for this game?? Non contact injury. He's glass. Sorry but he is. Gone at seasons end.

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

Yes true pal, always a chance so I don't blame people for being positive it's good for the system.

 

[roy.or.r]

Tbh Madrid are the only team who can stop the Dippers from winning the CL. Every cloud and silver lining and all that.

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

I've not given up, still hopeful, we get a goal back and it's as you were,

 

[Eccles Blue]

Oh and thanks for coming John boy.

You sarcastic so and so!! Leave him alone.

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Bollocks. He's exactly where he should be. We've had a sweeper keeper for 8 years at this point.

Disagree, goal itself isn’t on him, it’s not his fault that ball got played over the top but he can definitely make it harder.

Can’t just say “oh he’s a sweeper keeper” and that gives him free will to just stand off his line when it’s blatantly obvious what the attackers gonna do.

 

[Citi-leaks]

Stones made of glass

Deffo a trait of those bright young players, who break through and play lots of games very early on in their career, then they get to 27/28 and are broken. You can see a good player in there, but the body can't do what the mind wants to.

Can I ask what the point of this comment is?

Digging out City fans for being optimistic about City on a City forum does seem to be ever such a tiny bit moronic.

City fans hoping City win...whatever next, hopefully for your sake, a cure for terminal stupidity.

 

[skillman]

Asensio must’ve mistake our Nico for an underage girl, there. All over him.

 

[SWPISHOME]

You sarcastic so and so!! Leave him alone.

It's a pity the medical staff can't leave him alone :)

 

[loio]

Nico is already fluent in football english.

 

[Bluewars II]

Who gives a fuck if they were optimistic?! If it bothers you, then that's a you problem you sad loaf.

Cool, then they can fuck off giving those of us who are realistic a hard time.

 

[I remember the kool kats]

I’ve not given up and I won’t give up until the final whistle is blown. THE BOYS IN BLUE AND FANS IN BLUE NEVER GIVE IN.

 

[paulchapo]

[TShed]

Sad little man who's happiness in life revolves around City winning. Wouldn't like to be his wife/dog/wall tonight

 

[urban genie]

someone neds to go wide right, we are too narrow again in the middle, we have learnt nowt from the first leg mbappe and Vjr are gonnna keep doubling up if we are gonna leave no attacking threat behind them.

 

[01cravend]

Fuck knows what peps done with the front line

Watched arguably our best performance this season and completely changed it.. Not a single player in forward line is in the same position as weekend

 

[Bluesince1979]

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

Gloss over it as much as you wish, he was caught in utter no mans land, again.
