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

[Bluemoonie92]

Wasnt expecting much from tonight but that was beyond pathetic. There is nothing about this team atm, always looking for the safe pass yet we cant even do that. May aswell have 2 paper bags in midfield, would have been just as useful.

There’s been a lot of crap performances to choose from this season, but this is the worst of the lot

Nope , if we had managed to keep hold of that 3-0 lead v Feyenoord we wouldn’t be in this shite

 

[Goro]

Well good thing I’ve written this off in my mind
Haaland injured maybe Claudio can play more

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

Barely laid a glove on them …. expected much more than this after Saturday.

 

[ProofMCFC]

If it makes you feel better, Gundogan was only signed because Barca cut him at the last minute so it's not even like he was a planned move, just an extra player that became available.

So... just Savinho was considered enough.

Yeah even worse…

 

[bluemoon32]

Dias does move of his talking off the pitch these days.

He hasnt become the player i thought he'd become

 

[Gone for a Burton]

We are piss poor.

Ever thought that silence is golden.

 

[Damanino]

huge pep talk needed in HT. we need to get some pride at least in this game. at least come back to 2-2. if we lose this 3-0 or 4-0 or 5-1 or something, that will be our worst result in Pep-era in the knock out stages.

 

[sh249]

One of Pep’s worst ever halves. Utterly inexplicable.
Bernardo on the left. Savinho through the middle. No-one wide on the right. Just complete nonsense.

 

[willipp]

This is a really tough watch. We are so far off them in every aspect of the game I really don’t know what to say. This is really fucking grim to watch.

 

[Mr. Shush]

Get Kovacic, McAtee, Grealish, and Nunes on. Game is done. We're not reeling back 3 goals. Preserve bodies for Sunday.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

As has been shown all season, we can't press and still have our back 4 on the halfway line.

ITS THE BASICS OF FOOTBALL

F

I envy any city fan that had any hope going into this game tbh. Not being defeatist in the slightest but losing last weeks game was it for me. Game over. Done. This is a game I’d normally be pretty nervous for but all week I’ve not even given it a thought.

Madrid ain’t losing a home tie when they’re a goal up against a team that’s in as bad a patch as us. Add in Haalands injury it just wasn’t to be.

Peps team selection tonight seriously questionable, but I don’t think our squad whatever way you look at it is good enough at present to compete against this Madrid team. If we’d have have won last week id have some optimism but that late collapse ended it for me. Complete midfield refresh in the summer and go again next year.

Think most people that had hope were those that thought Haaland would play.

 

[svennis pennis]

Games like this do expose the lack of flair in our side. You see Real Madrid letting individuals flourish in a side, it’s a very different approach to us now. We’ve been unbelievable for the last few years, but on days like today we look turgid, slow and boring.

 

[citysince88]

I'll be honest and no doubt I'll get pelters. As much as love the bloke. If pep decided to leave at the end of the season. Some new, fresh ideas from a new manager may well be something we need.

 

[robbieh]

Where on earth is Savinho supposed to be playing.

I was wondering. He doesn't seem to be on the wing.

 

[Fordyboy46]

If we don't see any sort of reaction this 2nd half I will be very pissed off

 

[heslops barnet]

Just refuse to come out & let’s go home

Travelling fans wouldn’t be happy

 

[Ajm1985]

I'm amazed that Dias (who I love) has a high rating in comparison to the other 2. He's clearly unfit, was at fault for the first and showed very little energy for the second

 

[super_city_si]

I’m fully expecting a lewis for khusanov sub at half time.
