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

[argyle]

Liverpool would not be on top of the PL without Virgil. When he got injured a while back they struggled badly and had trouble getting a CL place .

Exactly. Injuries have completely screwed us this year.

I've no doubt we'll be back next year after a squad refresh and Rodri back.

Marmoush, Foden and Savinho....I thought they might do something here tonight but I was sadly wrong

On another night and set up properly who knows...

 

[johnny crossan]

Do we really wanna be doing any qualifying rounds with the CWC this summer as well? Let’s get at least 4th if we can.

apparently straight in, no qualifying.

 

[Tomblue]

We don’t turn up more often than not in the big champs league games, should’ve won it more times than we have in my opinion but we usually do the rabbit in the headlights routine.

 

[kanovic]

We will see. He rightly or wrongly showed loyalty to players who have won everything for him. He must now see that this was a huge error. He gets this summer to sort it and push us on again. If he can’t, he will go.

That’s the issue main. I get the loyalty but he can’t be blind.

Madrid spending £0 in last summer window, we spent over £100m in januar window. Perez laughing all the way to the bank.

State of some of the comments here.
Madrid are just better than we are.
Hopefully we will get some parity back, but it wont be this year.

Pal these multi millionaires wouldnt piss on fans if we were on fire..respect goes both ways. They are not trying for a shirt we'd all die to play in.. fk em. Even v real madrid they don't really fight

And pal the same millionaires have gave you the best 6-7 years playing at such an intense level until of late

When a whole team is playing so poorly, it's difficult for any player - on his own - to look any good.
But they can't all use this excuse?
Spending as much time looking at my phone as I am at the screen, it's noticeable how rarely I've heard the names of the Madrid backs.
I'm not sure I've heard Rudiger's name, all match.

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

Rashford with trophies.

And a smaller nose.

 

[paulchapo]

theres no business case for giving kevin a new contract. the question is who plays midfield next year. its looking dangerously like it could be rodri-nico-kovacic which sounds grim

No we'll sign somebody, Phil has sadly proved he can't do a job there.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

We are lightyears away from ever winning CL again

 

[cookster]

Never said that I don’t disagree

But comments like

Peps clueless and other disrespectful nonsense

Fair play.

 

[wolviedinho]

Exactly. Injuries have completely screwed us this year.

I've no doubt we'll be back next year after a squad refresh and Rodri back.

What happens if Rodri doesn’t come back to his best or gets injured again?

Another season of shit?

 

[Ajm1985]

They have to be given the ball first

True. Savinho and Marmoush have had literally fuck all to work with.

 

[citymad]

The contrast between tonight and Saturday is unbelievable.

How shit must Newcastle be ?

 

[pbueno16]

Grealish is a crock if shit we all know it

Doesn’t have performances Foden, Gundo or Kovacic been dropping on us this season.

 

[Debaser]

We don’t turn up more often than not in the big champs league games, should’ve won it more times than we have in my opinion but we usually do the rabbit in the headlights routine.

Should have won it the year after the treble

 

[01cravend]

Remember not long ago people said we'd be better with Foden as false 9 and Haaland on the bench. Hope he plays every minute for the rest of the season

 

[I'm Blue]

We've actually started playing.........in the 85th fucking minute
