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

[Damanino]

I wasnt too optimistic before the game, we had no reason really, but didnt think we wont have a shot on or off target in 40 mins.
fucking hell.

they want the 3-0 more than us the 2-1 says it all.

 

[Blueknows]

A game we need to win.
0 shots on target
0 shots off target

At least we're having a go and going for it ffs

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

It was always going to be a tall order, but I just wanted us to compete. RM are toying with us.

 

[I'm Blue]

Seeing that **** get sent off would cheer me up abit

 

[blue cigar]

Crazy just how bad we are. Guardiola not making any changes either

Guardiola? Who's your team playing tonight?

 

[jamielowndes]

I'm listening to 5Live - please tell me that McCoist is on TNT - would be nice to know that things COULD be worse

I think its Mcmanaman. I took the alternate option of seeing how far down my ear canal I could fit a rusty nail.

 

[Woody2792]

Start waving that chequebook for a midfield in Summer. Adam Wharton?

 

[M Gaudino]

They’ve been set up to look terrible. It’s on pep I’m afraid. It’s all wrong

we played 5 centre backs and played ultra cautious last week and it went well.

away tonight…..lets play different tactics

foden is doing fuck all

 

[No.8]

If they were that good, they'd have finished in the top 8 of the league phase and wouldn't even be in this playoff round.

You don’t think this is a good RM team???

 

[forlorn hope]

Are we the only team in the world that when losing the first leg sets out to defend in the second.......?

 

[RiversideBlue]

They are just more up for it than we are. More desire, more effort. It’s inexcusable really.

They're just better than us

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Few dodgy decisions gone their way… so much for the Referees vs Madrid

 

[madloaf]

Trying to see if his pace was enough to stop Vinicius. It isn’t.

We need his pace in the middle.

Who's pace? Khusanov? He's situationally unaware as well as nervous as fuck. He's just not ready.

 

[AColdNightInStoke]

We are piss poor.

 

[Saddleworth2]

why is Savinho operating in the middle rather than the wing? We have no width.

 

[RegisteredToSeePhotos]

This is on pep’s selection. Bernie and Gundo have not worked all season, why did he think it would work tonight? Bernie and Kova or Kova and Gundo but not the ones he has selected.

As if people wouldn't have moaned about those Kova/Bernie or Gundo/Kova combinations.

 

[Lost in space]

Dirty **** targetting foden again

 

[Brad mcfc]

We may as well take Bernardo, Gundogan and Foden off now. It wouldn’t make a difference.

It would go from 11v8 to 11v11

 

[Ajm1985]

Rewatching their second and can only assume Dias & Ake are still carrying injuries.

 

[TShed]

Both injured. Just is what it is this season.

If they are then should not have travelled and be working on being fit for scousers same with Haaland
