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

[BlueRockape]

This game is well gone. No point in subs.

Rest

 

[hertsblue]

Real Madrid aren’t actually that good
We are just very very poor

Dippers comfortably beat them and thr fact they ended up in the play offs shows they can be got at, esp with injuries in defence but Pep has got personal and tactics wrong in both legs

 

[madloaf]

That Ahsan lad from the 93.20 Podcast said a week or so ago that Phil has been playing "really really well"....don't laugh....

He's been on the beach all season.

 

[Mr. Shush]

Haha what are you even argue with me against? are you a crackhead?

Are you 12?

 

[BlueMonkey79]

I’m starting to question fucking everything here. It’s as bad as we’ve seen in a very long time. The players look completely uninterested.

I think they are taking matters in to thier own hands.

No way can a team drop off this much, as well as refreshing it with 200 million pounds worth of players in January.

We aren't even trying to compete anymore.

Flat track bullies spring to mind.

Players "How are we going to deal with their pace upfront pep? Drop deeper than usual?double up and force them into traffic? Press their supply line?"

Pep " were going to play a high line, 1v1 defending and offer no front press as usual"

Players "But isn't all that going to see us get battered pep? Pep? PEP!"

 

[noseve]

I hope the press have the guts to ask Pep about his substitution strategy.
Sometimes you get the feeling that when it's going tits up, he's thinking 'but why me?' as though he has no say in the matter

 

[wattle]

He'll mysteriously get injured for a month again, players are not interested.

I’m not sure that’s true

 

[MCFC1993]

Only saving grace is Vinicius is never winning the Balon d'Or with Mbappe there, no wonder the **** was crying last year.

 

[Zenmanc]

Feels like the end of Jaws before the shark buys it

 

[Tb1981]

What is the point of bernado silva?

 

[Goater101]

Foden needs to be dropped. This performance by him is disgusting

 

[Bluewars II]

Na keep him on

Get Foden off

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Take Nico off. Has to be rested for Sunday.

 

[Newmoston1212]

As long as we don’t let Vini Jr score, at least there’s the slightest of positive's

 

[super_city_si]

This game has to be a real wake up call for Pep. If he can’t see after tonight that certain players are finished at this level, I really worry about where we are heading.

How many times has that been said this season already?

 

[lancs blue]

Definitely something fucked-up going on behind the scenes.

Last Saturday everything was OK behind the scenes...
We're in transition, to compete at this level we need a rebuild - that's just how it is right now.

He can’t. He’s not seen it all season.

 

[MMA]

Lost cause now, running the risk of injury. Save them for weekend

Hahaha...
Save players from injury's..
They get injured turning their alarm clock off in the morning.


Just fuckin play them at this point.

 

[No1 was Colin bell]

Shocking this. Just get it over. Pep can’t even be bothered with subs.
