Match Thread | Monaco vs. Manchester City (01/10/25)

Stones' link up play and passes......superb

 

[Gobshiight]

You guys know Kane has 4 goals in 2 games in the CL and 10 goals in FIVE league games he’s also got 3 assists.

Mbappe has 5 in 2 CL games 8 goals in 7 league games

And Haaland is better than both :)

Could not give a fuck what kane is doing or that prick mbappe .
We've got haaland.
He's head and shoulders about any other striker

 

[Blu1]

Need more from reijnders, not seen that player I thought he was since wolves game. He just looks a bit lost & reminds me of Nunes

 

[Blueknows]

Yep, definitely a conspiracy against City and not some social media intern trying to update 9 games at once making a tiny, completely harmless mistake that's already been corrected.

Just pointing it out always seem.to make mistakes when it's us

 

[TinFoilHat]

Haaland is ruthless as fuck when in the mood.

That aside, good control, typical Pep CL away type performance that half.

No drop off now. Get the points and fuck off.

Are you in the dressing room as I can see Pep saying that.

 

[I'm Blue]

Think we've played well in possession but abit slow at times in the final third.
Like to see us go up a gear early on in the second half and put this game to bed.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

I don't think we are going to win the league this season but... I do think we will at least be in the Champs League final, just a hunch with how we have started this season. Erling on fire and that defensive display against Arsenal.

If we could get some games where we are solid defensively AND the mid, wings and attack are on fire.

I just want to avoid Real ( after the league stage), Arse, Dips and PSG and I would agree with you re the CL!

There is something about us this season that we might do something positively unexpected that would be Typical City....

 

[N1985]

Think we've played very well could be 3 or 4-1 up. Doku struggling but he's ran his bollocks off for a month straight.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Stones seems to be ‘managing’ himself

Blooming heck. He’s covering for about three of them who keep disappearing and he’s covering so much of the field. Twice at least he has started moves that almost resulted in approaching the goal. .

Flipping heck you moan that he gets injured. Yet you can’t give him credit for doing well.

 

[super_city_si]

If haaland stays fit he’s breaking all the records he set.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Erling disco pants are the best...

Beat me to it!!!

 

[ninjamonkey]

very good half, fully deserved lead. doku quieter than his recent self so hoping to see more from him

By design. The gameplan has been centered around getting foden in the pockets with both fullbacks joining him on either inside channels, doku and Bernardo have been asked to just hold the width. Neither can be expected to be more involved when they're not a major part of the plan.

 

[Micky Blue]

What is it with Spanish referees

Dunno about this guy but the other one (the twat who continuously shafted us) was from Madrid I believe and allegedly didn’t like pep’s views on Catalan independence.

 

[Chak19]

Worst defence we faced this year.
Still not safe from a counter attack, we need another one

Wolves were worse, rags not much better.

 

[northendenton]

What is it with Spanish referees

Dislikes Catalans?

 

[TinFoilHat]

I can see us scoring again
Problem is I can see them scoring again too. 4-2 CITY is my shout. We need to involve Doku more.

Another 5-3?

They make mistakes for everyone, you just only get worked up by the City ones.

 

[mattcity5]

He was in the 1982 World Cup squad aged 24.

And the 1986 World Cup I think.

Exactly, what a weird but unsurprisingly negative post that was in the match day thread. They just can’t help themselves.
