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

The only good thing coming out of this is that surely the club will be under no illusion no other reinforcements are needed during the rest of the transfer window.

We got a shit load of reinforcements. Pep doesn’t play them. We started with gundogan ans bernardo and he couldn’t wait to get akanji on

 

[deano ou812]

We haven’t learnt a thing from last season and we still have players that need moving on,losing to a bunch of mercenaries is embarrassing enough..

 

[mexico1970]

I have no confidence that Edison can save anything any more.

 

[BigJoe#1]

Do get pissed off with all the time wasting that goes on (I know we do it too0. I reckon if you go down with cramp you should make your way off the field and get treated on the touchline.

 

[VOOMER]

When we sign a player, like most I watch YouTube videos to get an idea of what they're like
I can't remember the last time I saw any defending in one of those videos.
If the word 'back' is in your position, you should be able to DEFEND!

We are a slow team, from front to back.

 

[King Jay]

Need another RB next to Nunes and have to give Khusanov a chance. A high line with those players is impossible

 

[kanovic]

What a mess at the back we are.

It’s like we should buy some defenders….

 

[Heath Park]

Saudis are pretty good.
Heat is killing us...

 

[69FACUPfinal]

We're winning nothing next year.

4 goals against Al.Hilal

Embarrassing.

Defence is non league

Maybe this might be a wake up call to the new coaching set up that they need to be teaching defending?

 

[Gray]

You can not win anything when you can’t defend properly.

 

[urban genie]

The right side of defence is our weakness, yet we took off our left side and kept dias on and replaced nunes with akanji.


If we knew Rodri couldn't do a full game why was Reijinder taken off or Nico not on

same old glaring inconsistencies

saying that we should have been out of sight at half time

 

[Coatigan]

Commentator saying cant be much added time. Wtf is he on?

 

[HypnoticBlue]

And just like that, we’re back to November 2024.
Shite

 

[york away to this!]

At least these commentator cunts will be happy...

 

[madloaf]

Relax lads. It's a friendly.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Can't we play against others like they play against us?

 

[Legal Alien]

It’s like we should buy some defenders….

Well we still need a proper right back

 

[come-on-barney]

Saudis are pretty good.
Heat is killing us...

Tactically a mess, nothing to do with the heat.

 

[BigJoe#1]

Im going all in and saying same old shit next season as.last season

We never ever learn.

Those three defensive substitution fucked us over.

 

[blue whippet]

I fell asleep at 1-0. Just woke up at 3-3, then they score

Wtaf has been going on?

Ha, that's probably the least stressful way to do it. Sadly very little has been going on defensively which has been part of the problem.
