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

[Blueknows]

I just hope we play for pride now and try to keep the score respectable.

I'd like us to just go for it , no sign.of that so far ffs

 

[hertsblue]

Looking forward to next season

Why. Unless we have a huge clear out, get better coaching staff in,a new number 2 who can tell Pep when he is wrong, it will be the same crazy high line, brittle and unfit players.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

We will do well to get to half-time one down.

Our tactics are befuddling and the midfield is stagnant.

 

[jimharri]

Regardless of what folk think of him he's an outlet. Pace..
Put pressure on them upfront. Direct.

Irrelevant with our midfield and defence.

 

[toutmaster]

I hate to say it but pep again this set up is not right so so stubborn

 

[ninjamonkey]

Ancelotti must be sat in disbelief that Pep has played right into his hands with this terrible formation.

 

[Chak19]

Also what is the point of Bernardo Silva anymore ?

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Do we have any fucking runners

 

[MMA]

Irrelevant with our midfield and defence.

Ball over the top....

 

[skillman]

Bernie is painfully slow in everything he does.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Gundo….

 

[Eoiyflem]

Mcmanaman snd camel gob need to get off Khusinovs back the pricks

Are they lying? He's being targeted, exploited and needs help

 

[loio]

Easier decision to sub him then then.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

If it’s any help put the mute button on, it’s more bearable!

I’ve got the sound turned right down…help a lot

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Gundo has reverted to pre-Newcastle Gundo unfortunately...way off the pace

 

[Tolmie scores]

Usual 70% possession but doing nothing with it where they look like scoring each time they get near our box

Yeah but they force us into central areas and just crowd us out. They dont need to chase the ball. They are so astute and Ancelotti is a class act. Possession stats mean nothing tbf

 

[wattle]

This is shit pep. Flat back 4, no shape, no threat going forward, holes in midfield, Foden doing nothing, Khuzanov being left on his own v bellend and cry baby. Really really poor from pep. It’s like watch wolves play Real Madrid

 

[69FACUPfinal]

It's not bloody Rondo practice. We need Kev, Doku and Jack. Someone with a bit of gravitas.

 

[simonr555]

Gundogan should be absolutely nowhere near our team. A liability every single game he’s that slow. He can’t even pass ten yards to a teammate

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

Gundogan and Bernardo like playing with 9 men
