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

I refuse to believe Foden deserves playing time over Grealish, Doku or O’Reilly. Doesn’t now and hasn’t for weeks.

 

[.db.]

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

Villa away last two seasons.

 

[deano ou812]

Bar odd results there’s a lethargic feel in games now,and especially from looking at the coaching staff on the bench just don’t seem bothered anymore..

 

[SWP's back]

Still do this lads. Just to smash in a quick five.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Have you ever seen anyone play on the wing and offer less than Bernie does? Can’t beat a man. Doesn’t pass forwards. Doesn’t score goals. Utterly pointless.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

All on Pep

Mans a genius but seems the genius has.left the building but left the lights on

Explain what you'd have done differently and what difference it would've made .

The forum is waiting.

 

[Brewster's millions]

We’ve been genuinely poor all season - for a reason.
So I’ve no fucking idea why some people on here think we will rock up and beat Madrid away like they’re Southampton.
Maybe that makes sense to you.

I didn’t expect us to win today, very few people did I suspect, but I would think that we’d be able to play players in their proper positions, have some sort of game plan and maybe even have a shot in 63 minutes of football.

We haven’t done any of that.

 

[Kippax Kidd]

Foden has turned into Rashford..

Similar vibes alright

 

[Rory Bluelow]

Madrid have been superb but this must rank as one the worst City performances in recent years. We could easily ship a few more goals..

 

[Dewey6]

Playing the most obnoxious c*nt in football into form is icing on the cake.

Why do we play defenders at all if we want to play like this, just have 4 midfielders across the back and be done with it!

 

[Dax777]

Bernardo is not a threat here. Bring Doku on :(

 

[Beanhead]

Foden watching how great players play, he could have done that from the bench.

Foden has grace until Christmas but some players peak young. If he isn’t showing signs of getting it back, then get rid. Not liking his form.. but that can be forgiven.. his work rate though.. it’s just not there anymore.

 

[WestGorton]

Still do this lads. Just to smash in a quick five.

I'm in

 

[Blueknows]

Utter shite I really feel sorry for our travelling blues…should get a refund off the players…sorry 11 statues that have turned up

Great 100% effort they should be fucking ashamed of some.of their performances this season not just tonight but rags feyernoord and both Madrid games poor is and understatement

 

[Damien10]

Get Doku on the pitch get minutes in his tank. He shouldn’t start against Liverpool.

 

[Tolmie scores]

Deserved nothing today. Or in the Champions League at all this season. Embarrassing performances in this competition this year.

And the league..honestly this is tarnishing Pep's legacy this apathetic approach to matches..whats the point.. play kids and try abmnd create something. Dont just trudge knee deep in shit ..so pointless

 

[Crooked_rain]

I wanted subs at half time but I wouldn't even bother now

Let this lot see the game out

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Get this season over and see what he does when we sign a few more and have fully rebuilt the team.

He's not suddenly going to chance his tactics next season. We need new coaching staff, set piece coaches,,medics and new players. Even with Rodri back I don't see next season being much better. Hope wrong but seeing no signs.

 

[Blue warrior]

Still a lot of surgery needed in the summer to try and get back to what we’re used to seeing and will cost a fortune that’s if we can spend what’s needed.

 

[MMA]

The tie's gone, may as well leave it except for injuries.

I know the ties gone mate.

But a proper twatting here could kill whatever glimpse of a team we have left..

He needs to change it but he wont.
