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

[Beanhead]

This is worst we have played in years, include resources.. decades. It’s that bad. We haven’t had a meaningful touch and the worst part is we have given up.

 

[paulchapo]

The drop is unbelievable. From the 4 in a row and treble to this?

We all can take a downturn but it looks like no one can be motivated anymore.

That's the worry. We've had injuries but those aside our form has dropped off a cliff.

 

[pbueno16]

Just make some fucking subs and look forward to Sunday. No sense forcing those who started today and will start Sunday play 90 today.

 

[skillman]

Is that Foden effort our first shot.

No. We scored loads in the warm up

 

[ProofMCFC]

cuz i can fucking analyze the game beyond one single player. he shouldn't be on. But that's not the reason why we're losing. But go on, blame him. Fraud poster.

Where did I say we’re losing because of Gundogan. Just fuck off lad

 

[Brad mcfc]

No point making subs now

 

[Alexia_Ko]

What’s the point in making subs?

Preparation for Liverpool!

Ffs!

Funnily enough every time we lose whilst resting players we also lose the next game too

 

[Sear the Slide]

Ah well leave us free to concentrate on Plymouth

 

[chris85mcfc]

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.

The tram lines in his hair look cool though don't they?

 

[Chak19]

I'll bet you he's going to say everyone on the bench was not fully fit.

 

[Roachy]

Mbappe is such a great player but that goal started with a shit corner by us at the other end! Why is Foden the one trying to stop him? What are Ake and Gvardiol doing there?

This game and the first leg have illustrated just how far we have fallen back.

We might get top 4 and even have a chance of the FA cup but this side is done at the very top.

Yep, I think even the most happiest of clappers and naysayers can see that now. If not they want their heads feeling.

 

[Lowtower]

Khusanov has been good tonight, clueless camel gob and McShiteaman expected some sort of Maldini performance from him

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Look at Madrid’s squad planning vs ours

The mediocre signings in the last couple of years led to this downfall.

Such as Nunes - a midtable player if ever there was one

 

[BlueMonkey79]

There is a fairly good chance, and some won't like this, that we are watching Pep's final Champions League game as a manager.

Nah. He'll easily walk into another top European club.

 

[Tolmie scores]

We’ve had a shot. It was from 47 yards but it was a shot.

And because it was so shite even Madrid fans booed irmt.. they wanted to see a game. What a genuine load of sht bags we are this season

 

[Mr. Shush]

Game is dead, tie is dead, and yet we still cannot bring substitutes on, which is a huge reason why we’re in this mess. What are we protecting them from?

This. Sub already. Game was gone at halftime.

 

[M Gaudino]

still no changes...pep seemingly happy with this turd

surely you rest players you might want on sunday. grealish, de bruyne, doku, Lewis could all come on

 

[Mr Partridge]

Why? Are they changing the name of the competition next year?

Still waiting for Pep to resign after losing against the rags at home said by one poster.

That didn't happen.

If losing against a much embarassing and awful team like the rags didn't make him to resign.

What makes you think this will be any different?

If everyone is confident that we're getting in the CL next season then fair enough, I'm happy with that.

 

[Cuban heels]

Wack
Someone at least

 

[Eoiyflem]

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.

Nobody expected to win for fuck sake. Getting completely annihilated, with ZERO shots, zero effort, zero tactics, zero fight, zero changes and a complete and total capitulation on the pitch and on the sideline deserves to be called out.
