Match Thread | Brentford vs. Manchester City (05/10/25)

[Bluearmy]

Hurting us? In what way? 9 shots to one (4-1 on target), over 73% possession, 0.8 to 0.06 XG (which I put no credibility in, by the way, no Brentford touch inside the City box, no save from Donna Summer, nearly three times as many passes as them. They haven't laid a glove on us.



*cue a Brentford goal in the second half!

We all fear whats likely coming....

Late(ish) out again.

 

[Zenmanc]

COME ON!!!

 

[Rory Bluelow]

We’re just missing a prime KDB or a Spanish Dave in this team this year.

Aren’t we just !

 

[jollylescott]

We're overdue to come out and pummel a team in the second half. I hope Haaland's comments after the last game have the desired effect

 

[city warrior]

I’d change savinho and Bobb for doku and Bernardo

So you would change a winger and play with only 10 players? Why not change one of them for a fit fan? I am sure he would do as much as Bernardo as a winger.

What was Nunes bought for? Not RB for sure I hope

Leave him alone. I think we had a decision on the pre match thread that Savinho would get all the ire this game.

 

[deano ou812]

Hopefully Rodri has just tweaked his hamstring and it’s 2 weeks out ..

 

[Dodge]

Fuck me, is it full-time? 1-0 up away from home with another 45 mins to put them to the sword. Coped well losing Rodders. Played 3 games in 7 days, Brentford haven't played ONE in that time. They look tanked, we look fresh.

Excellent half, comfortable 3-0 away win incoming.

Jeez.

 

[Mr HJ]

Phil has been very good but he has to not be as wasteful, that right footed shot was terrible - getting into great positions which is a top sign. Rjinders had his best 45 since Wolves and was unlucky with the volley. We really need an early second to put this to bed as if they get an equaliser it brings their crowd into it. Hopefully we get another goal then bring on Cherki for a bit of the unexpected!

 

[noseve]

My feelings are they will come out with much more agression. We need a really strong team start and an early break with another goal.

And keep the tempo up

 

[Zenmanc]

Playing Seven Nation Army seems odd vs us.

 

[.db.]

What was Nunes bought for? Not RB for sure I hope

He's played well?

 

[platty7]

Hamstrings can be anything from a week to three months. Depends how bad it is. I didn’t see it how bad did it look?

Over stretched for a loose ball . From experience those tend to be more of a tweak and not too bad .3-4 weeks , opposed to doing it sprinting and it going ping and being out for months

 

[malg]

Fucking hell, that's a head of hair on that fella....

 

[I'm Blue]

COME ON CITY!!!
Early goal please Blues.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

We’ve been excellent, let’s get a quick second here please.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

No Bernie please

I love him and he's been a great player for us, but at the moment we look better when he's not playing.

 

[its a Barm]

While it's stays at 1.0 i will continue to be a fanny wipe, get the second goal and I will relax a little.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Savinho ducking out off that 50/50 there...
