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

[Gorton_Tubster]

We're not out of this yet. Well we are I suppose but you lot give up on your team so easy. Cmon blues

 

[Tricky_Trev]

The team is absolutely shite but Pep has matched them stride for stride this season.

 

[Blu1]

No offence, but you're overreacting. What you're witnessing tonight is what happens when a tired and old team meets a hungry young one. There's no tactic we could have gone with that wouldn't have looked something like this

Stil thank we can set up to make it harder for them

 

[Crooked_rain]

Right, enough negativity, we are more than capable of scoring 2or3 goals in a half as unlikely as it looks right now.
Come on city!!!!!!

Stranger things have happened

I'd be surprised if we create two chances at this rate

 

[Rory Bluelow]

My expectations were pretty low going into the game, but that’s been a fairly chastening 45 minutes. We’re second best in every department. Just need to get through the the second half without any further injuries so we concentrate on domestic matters.

The worry is we could cop a real hiding, we look a little lost and absolutely no threat up front and fragile at the back. We could easily ship 4 or 5.

WTF…….???

 

[skillman]

Another Salah assist too. He’s on course to break Henry/Kev’s record this season. If only Kev wasn’t robbed of that extra one in 19/20!

 

[ninjamonkey]

Like turning up to a gun fight with a water pistol.

More like turning up to a gunfight with fully loaded assault rifles but your leader insists on trying to beat people to death with the butt of the gun instead.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Can’t give you the why. Pep's done a thing that has minimised the effective traits of a few of our form players

Sometimes you have to fleetingly think, “is Pep taking a bung”? Some of his decisions are bafflingly diabolical. If he decided to Lewis as a lone number 10, I wouldn’t bat an eyelid.

 

[Tbilisi]

Kushanov after a bad start looked good.
Damage limitation 2nd half, top 5 then FA Cup all that matters now.

No one talks about PSG, I bet the scousers dont want them.

 

[jayblue]

Put Savihno on the right and bring in Doku on the left. Put Foden in the middle

Why is Pep being so silly?

Because he's completely out of ideas

Fuck that, City can still do this, they could come on complacent, we could come out fired up.

 

[sirrmattmoo]

another massively overrated scorcese film

I’ve watched it over 3 sittings, it’s pretty bland

 

[heslops barnet]

No way Gundy & Bernie can come back out for the 2nd half

Both been piss poor all season…….I know injuries and all that but………

 

[madloaf]

Glory hunter

Glory hole hunter. No idea why I wrote that!

 

[Twisted-wheel]

Let’s be honest though RM are way better than us in every single position, however there is a way of losing a game and it by looking to your next man to do something, sign of a weak team when players start looking to blame others rather than do your bit

 

[BlueRhubarb]

Kdb is still miles better than any of them.

You clearly haven’t seen much of him this year!

 

[Eoiyflem]

I don't think I've ever seen a team have to make as many injury substitutions in my life. Same personnel as well. Absolutely ridiculous at this stage.

Rubbish the only oldie outfield is gundo

 

[Gaz76]

Dias to blame for both of their goals, I'm all for his will to win but he's being to gung ho and getting dragged all over the place, just stay in your position and let the others play there's FFS
