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

[BlueMonkey79]

Been coming since we reverted back to the sideways boring plodding football of last season.

Screaming ****

TBF It's his job (they're not all pro City like us)... I'm pretty certain there will be a repeat performance IF city score.

 

[come-on-barney]

3 shots and 3 goals. We’ve had about 20!

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

This is for those fans who always underestimate the opponent.

Typical City never leaves you.

 

[01cravend]

Two CHs both missed their headers Eddy no fault

The header is slightly to Edersons left yet he's planted flat footed..that was easily saveable and he's just stood there after umming and ahhhing about whether to go for cross.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Meanwhile, side to side to side to side, pass back, side to side to side to side, pass back, to you to me, side to side to side to side, pass back. This is shit.

 

[roach3]

These comms are gonna explode if they get another

 

[King Jay]

Savinho turning into a pass back merchant

 

[vanchi]

shots on target 13-3, gk saves 0-10

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Savio is bench quality

 

[Coatigan]

3 shots on target. 3 goals.

Meanwhile their keeper made several great saves that kept them in the game first half.

Ees football

 

[I'm Blue]

With our strength in depth I had hoped the longer this game went on the better we’d look.
They look much fresher than us.

 

[kanovic]

A top keeper saves that.
Ederson should have gone at the end of 23/24

I don’t blame the keeper there. Two defenses and no one gets close enough on him

 

[ChicagoBlue]

3 “shots”, 3 goals.

 

[super_city_si]

The only saving grace is that the transfer window is still open and the league hasn't started yet.
Because all the old problems are still there.

Been a valuable exercise in that respect.

 

[pbueno16]

I’m not sure their keeper has made any great saves, to be honest. Just lots of average ones

Their finishing has been much, much better than ours

Half his saves are right into his gut. We’re creating plenty but it’s all low quality.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

We look like we don't want it.

 

[eyalluvitt]

3 Sunday league goals conceded by arrogance personified

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

How isnt foden on this pitch?

You rang
