Match Thread | Manchester City v. Al Hilal (CWC) 01/07/25

Sun is coming up and we’re being held by the Saudi Stoke City ffs

 

[Ezy]

5 am here ofc extra time

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Their keeper has a worldie, ours doesn't make a save (and actually fucks up for their first goal). Standard.

We should have enough to win this in extra time with the subs now.

 

[super_city_si]

Make some fucking subs

 

[Dax777]

Hahaha this fucking ref, how hasn't he give that foul on Doku.

I think he is claiming the game ended just as the foul was happening. Which is insane.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Fuck sake, of course we get extra time at 4am. You can't have bobb, foden, cherki and marmoush on the bench and not make a single attacking sub.

Bobb on for savinho, then cherki or foden on for reijnders

 

[Goro]

Anyone phoned in sick to work yet?

I did, literally sick of seeing how unluck we are lol

 

[HelloCity]

You've gotta love the match threads!

Genuinely might be the worst I’ve ever seen.

 

[Cuban heels]

Surely we have a better squad than these boys ! Pep needs to freshen it up , Foden Marmoush and Cherki have to come on against these goat herders

 

[Mattyc55]

Savinho better not be our starting rw this season

 

[VOOMER]

I wouldn't be so sure.

Haha don't, the moaning is sending my head west.

 

[glauberbertistossedshirt]

Anyone phoned in sick to work yet?

Yep did it preemptively

 

[blue whippet]

Foden and Cherki must be wondering wtf

We definitely need a bit of creativity on now. We are looking very formulaic and yet, despite the defensive changes still suspect at the back.

 

[DiscoSteve]

I think he is claiming the game ended just as the foul was happening. Which is insane.

Didn't a welsh ref do something like that to Brazil in 74?

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Think he did give a foul but blew for fulltime

if he gave the foul a red card must follow. Doku was through on goal.

 

[kanovic]

Extra time, get in. Who needs sleep anyway!

Only 10:03 pm here lol

 

[AshtonBlueMooner]

Looks like I won’t be getting back to bed after all.
Come on you blue boys, at least put this bloody game to bed now.

 

[gray740]

Whoops I think I might have woken my neighbours!! Was shouting for Doku to keep running… go Jeremy, go Jeremy. Quite loudly!! Oh heckle meckle I’m in trouble now I bet.

He would have blown the whistle as he was about to pull the trigger anyway.

 

[super_city_si]

Savinho, Bernardo, Haaland off.

Foden, Cherki, Marmoush on.

I’m down with that. Hope pep is too
