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

[Gabriel]

Hard to see the gap being closed on them in a two-year rebuild let alone one.

 

[A57 the snake]

The backbone of this team has completely died. How many times this season has this team just given up. 1 shot all game so far. Useless twats

They’re not twats . They’re my club I’ve been through worse than this all over the country and Europe.
Embarrassing post.

 

[Bluearmy]

This game is well gone. No point in subs.

We need to rest Gundogan and silva for their inevitable 90 minutes on Sunday ;(

 

[Beanhead]

Dreadful subs.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Simples.....

.......they currently have better players than us in a bigger and more settled senior squad.....like we had 2 years ago.

We did to them what they are doing to us, but things will change !!

 

[M Gaudino]

What is the point of bernado silva?

thing is he only turned 30 in august. what has happened to his creativity and goals.

 

[paulchapo]

He should never be allowed to start again. Fucking bag of wank.

Yes it's sad to witness, he was magnificent in our treble season.

 

[Blue warrior]

When does it become a case of holding the manager to account rather than buying a new team?

Some of our previous sides were nowhere near as good on paper as Pep made them. However, the complete opposite is now the case.

We’re not even a good side anymore. We’re distinctly average yet there are still quality players throughout this side.

No doubt pep has made some weird/poor decisions and perhaps needs to evolve his style/tactics.

We definitely need to improve the team in the summer tho imo.

 

[Besteamintheland]

Are there any city fans on here tonight

 

[BlueRhubarb]

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

I’d back this Madrid team against most sides over two legs of knockout football at the business end of the season.

 

[paulsimpson]

Its the only thing that .might actually make us fight.. just a limp dick team this season..Foden..he's fked off..bernie et al

Haaland is a great loss here tonight and as we know his mere presence causes chaos. I'm more concerned about injuries right now

 

[avoidconfusion]

I wish someone would just fucking shoot. Just twat it from 30 yards like Toure would have

 

[Brad mcfc]

Rest some and bring on a few fringe players ready for Sunday.
And fuck this off

Yep

 

[The Black Shed]

The players don't want to get injured, hence lack of pressing, tackling, etc. Game's up so why bother getting hurt

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

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

Would love to see Khusa smash him or Bellingham

 

[walker_is_faster]

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.

I really hope Pep will not play those players.
But we will see.

 

[Goro]

Why did I waste my money to come here
Have enough leaving this hostile place

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Foden has been our worst player and that’s no mean feat.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Why are we leaving Dias back from corners? Khusanov would make far more sense.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

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!"

Pep has looked baffled by what he has seems this year. We’ve all seen it
