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

I do genuinely think Pep fully believes (from reading his books and listening to interviews) if we have the ball and keep it well that is how you win football matches, everything else just 'clicks' the problem is against teams built to counter it doesn't work that well when you can't defend as it just looks ridiculous.

 

[I'm Blue]

Looks like Pep overestimated us giving us a 1% chance of winning

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Foden has been awful just standing around. What is going on

That high challenge in the first half probably hasn't done him any favours.

 

[Damanino]

just get a shot on target shall we?

embarrassing if we dont even test their keeper once all game. fucking Las Palmas and Valladolid gives them a bigger test than us and those are on the level of Wolverhampton or lesser...

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Let’s be honest. Had we gone through, Atletico would have battered us anyway.

35 mins to go.

Not our year mate, roll on next season.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Never seen a Pep side struggle to string 5 passes together until this season.

 

[Zenmanc]

This is disturbing what we have become so suddenly.

Have you just been thawed out of the side of a glacier?

This should be Gundogans and Stones last game for the club,.neither can be trustee anymore for different reasons .

So when stones gets back, even if it’s for 4 games, you wouldn’t have him the squad?

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

This is criminal from Pep. Watching this shit and sticking with it!

He knew the game was over as soon as Mbappe scored. This is pure damage limitation now. We don’t look like doing that currently either !

 

[snorky]

Lets wait for 60 mins to make subs eh?

:(

 

[Fordyboy46]

Savinho is playing?

He's not

 

[sirrmattmoo]

No need to to be aggressive

Rag

Honestly,Real Madrid will not have had an easier champions league game than this in years.

Neither did spurs at our place , or numerous other shite like Feyenoord.
We’ve fell off the cliff with a tired out , given there all , injury ravaged squad.
I’ll take one bad season out of 8 , shame many on here can’t see the fucking wood for the trees.

 

[Beanhead]

Phil jogging back. Fuck off and do something.

 

[avoidconfusion]

Nearly 60 minutes played , 60 minutes of us getting annihilated on the pitch… still no change from Guardiola, he is just on the wind up now isn’t he

 

[Damien10]

Nico is all by himself in midfield.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

I despise Bayern. I want this lot to KO Dippers, then Bayern beat this lot.

 

[MellowJoe]

Right, when you're ready City, have a shot for Christ's sake

 

[YaYa's Left Peg]

Feel sorry for Nico having to partner two 'Walking Football' players in midfield!

Good save
