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

[TFC]

They're just better than us

They are set up better than us. I refuse to believe this group of our players has suddenly forgotten how to compete.

 

[I'm Blue]

I’ll take 2-2 now.

Need a shot on target first

 

[stan bowles]

Good speed by Khusanov there. Ignored by the comms.

 

[Roachy]

I’ll take 2-2 now.

A shot towards goal would be a start.

 

[eyalluvitt]

All on Pep this. Got the right 11 starters on the pitch, but fucked us over with a mad set-up.
Couldn’t have made it any easier for them, or harder for ourselves.

Two absolute Sunday league goals to concede, embarrassing at this level

 

[Dax777]

If you are going to play Khusanov as your RB, you don't want him overlapping. Play a winger on the right. Why play Foden in a tuck in role?


Just stupid stuff from Pep!!!

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Are Marmoush and savinho playing?

 

[Blu1]

Why the Fook can’t we just set up to make it hard & look to counter

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

We’ve gifted them 5 goals this tie. Simple as that

 

[mancityscot]

Playing gundo and Bernardo reminds me of when we played these lot with Kroos and Modric in their midfield and we blitzed them. Pace and energy in the midfield so important these days.

 

[ProofMCFC]

Right but if they can't play then they can't play. So what do you suggest the alternative

Maybe not charge the fans out their arse! This is embarrassing it’s like peps not even bothered

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

I’ll take 2-2 now.

Blimey, I’ll take 2-0 now. They’re up for battering us tonight.

 

[skillman]

God. I love them both. But Bernie and Gundo are running in treacle against (yet another) midfield who are more dynamic and faster. Makes a massive difference and essentially means we’re losing before a ball is kicked.

 

[B\connellblue]

Are we going to go the whole fucking half without a shot.

 

[bigA]

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

We're done as far as this competition goes but let's show some fight at least. Leave a foot in on Mbappe, go right through Vinicius and take him out, someone put the boot in Bellingham around the knee area. We're going out, let's put one or two of those smug cunts out with us

 

[jamesha]

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.

They are not a consistent team. They have been up for it against us because of Guardiola, crybaby Junior over the Balon Dor and their victim complex over having Bellingham sent off.

If they played in England they would never win the league as they lack the consistency needed.

To be fair when they are on it they are very impressive.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Gonzalez likes waving his arms about doesn’t he?

His arms seem to move a lot quicker than his legs.

 

[ctwrd]

Yes because it's the fucking truth. You mustn't watch much football if you can't see it it's been glaringly obvious all season and that's without the injuries. There was signs last season that this squad.needed a major refresh.

You are making a big mistake there. Yes it’s obvious. It doesn’t need to be said every time we don’t win. It isn’t going to change. It’s boring. Enjoy the fight back instead of moaning constantly

 

[Mancity1980]

No it’s not. Grow a pair.

@jimharri has just posted he is not watching it. This has nothing to do with bottle, this is an accumulation of a poor season.

 

[youngbob]

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

Part of that preparation for the Liverpool game is being with the lads. Win together, lose together, train together, etc.
