Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Manchester Utd (14/09/25)

[spacecadet]

Second to every fucking ball- Somebody needs to get into this lot at half-time.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Cos rags keep diving and Taylor is ref

How is he the ref.
BBC made out it's a good thing having a local ref

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

A few have been very good.

A couple have looked quite terrible. Hopefully Silva and Reijdners can improve.

 

[hertsblue]

It's not ignorant.
Pep doesn't know are best back 4

Missing a dominant top quality CB.

 

[wolviedinho]

Work in progress this team.

Accept that and it’s not that bad.

We ain’t the old city, understandable and not realistic.

Watched the dips earlier and apart from calmer possession we no different. We seem startled on the ball and not pass proof.

Work in progress.

 

[WorthlessPoster]

Foden, Doku our best players so far. Lovely goal by Phil, another would do quite nicely.

 

[pbueno16]

Donna is fucking huge presence in goal

With how our midfield and defense have been porous as a sieve, I stopped caring about ball playing ability in a keeper. Just need someone who can control their area and be big in the frame.

 

[argyle]

Winning and much more positives than negatives.

Rodri looking rusty. Reijnders looks off the pace.

Foden looking excellent and Doku dangerous.

 

[Chak19]

Some nice passages of play including for the goal but overrall very poor, Donna having a nice half is encouraging but our midfield should be dominating theirs and it's not happening, Reijnders has been dogshite and offering no support to Rodri, and Bernie on the wing at this point is a rib.

 

[chesterbells]

Rodri needs Nico to help him

And take Reijnders off?
Bernardo struggled a bit too wide right.

Good half overall though!

 

[Brewster's millions]

Fuck it. Put Nunes on at right wing.

That full back of theirs has run off Bernado two or three times now.

Can’t be allowed to happen many more times.

 

[Don Karleone]

Donnarumma is the human version of Dhalsim.

Reminds me of Alice the goon

Donna is fucking huge presence in goal

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Rodri, Bernie, and Reijnders piss poor today. Rest playing ok with Foden, Doku, Khusanov, and Donna being great.

That first 15 minutes was dogshit though. Thankfully the goal made us better but then we regressed to poor again.

 

[blue moony]

Bwrnado silva looking more like bernard manning these days ...

 

[super_city_si]

We definitely need another. Can’t see us winning many games 1-0 this season.

Hoping Donnarumma is the difference there but we defo need a second.

 

[Gumzy97]

I think Donnarumma stature just puts off strikers / attackers he’s huge. Also will go through his own defenders to clear the ball

 

[69FACUPfinal]

I've seen 15 minutes ( unavoidably had to be out). It seems a tad faster, but still slow and for me midfield being over run. Just need help for Rodri in middle.

Phil looks good so hopefully he remains injury free.

It can go either way....

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Listening on the website...Txiki being interviewed at half time....how we playing? Khusanov sounds good.

Cos rags keep diving and Taylor is ref

Actually think Taylor had a brilliant half there. Can’t think of one thing he got wrong?
