Match Thread | Manchester City vs. B.Leverkusen (25/11/25)

[samuelyeboah]

feel like even with eddie gone we continue to concede basically the first chance of every game

 

[denTTony]

H/t, can we change another 10 players

 

[supercity88]

This is absolute shite. Honestly, one of the most disgraceful halves of football I have seen from us in a long time. Whoever sanctioned these players needs a long hard look at themselves because they're dross.

Why they're out there as this combo I have no idea either. Reijnders, Marmoush, Rico, Nico, Bobb, Savinho. Pathetic. Add Ait Nouri to the list too.

 

[CΛL]

I've been listening on the City website...it sounds like a few fouls haven't been given for us...is this ref as bad as Saturday's or maybe they're related?

Honestly if we were winning I think we’d all say he was a good ref, our players have been soft shites

 

[bellsouth]

I think we'll win this 3-1 due to a rocket up the arse at half time.

or due to bringing on the proper team at half time?

 

[bluemurray]

Well judging from the comments on here, sounds like a great match!

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Fucking abysmal 45 mins and wholly predictable with that starting XI. We’ve seen that performance so many times over the past decade, usually in the 3rd round of the Carabao Cup against utter shite. We are now doing it in the CL.

That 1st half should end some City careers…

Reijnders the friendly midfielder…turd.

Rico...LOL. We’ve got an U9s midfielder playing in the Champions League.

Savinho and Bobb…the deadly duo.

Marmoush…that’s why he’s not been playing.

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Jo is better.

Lol. Is that possible? I thought Jo had naturalised as a Brazilian he was that bad

 

[Luke The Blue]

Right Pep, you have shown the board how shit Savinho, Bobb and Marmoush are so make 3 changes at half time.

Haaland, Doku and Cherki on

Mate Savinho just got a new contract. That fucking kills me. How the fuck is anyone in the club saying he deserves a contract?

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Reijnders is awful.

Expected so much more from him and plays like he has no confidence whatsoever

If Savinho was a #8.

 

[HelloCity]

Worth pointing out we’re playing a 2nd XI (apart from one).

Not sure a game like this was the right time considering we need to get top 8 to avoid the play off.

Would be better to make 3-4 changes tonight and then 3-4 changes vs Leeds rather than them all at once.

Also not fair on the fans who have turned up to a CL game expecting to see a good side put out.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Im absolutely livid with this line up. We need a win here. Pep could have played this team in madrid as well lose that one anyway now we'll lose both. A lit of pressure on the other two games and that will be just trying to get into the top 24.

 

[Gibblue]

The way our keeper gets targets by every team on every corner, it is baffling to see opposition keepers calmly collecting slow corners unchallenged. Up the aggression lads please, you will find the fans in the stadium rally behind a bit of passion and energy and fight

 

[denTTony]

Second rate performance from a second string team

 

[flook]

My mrs had a shit Brazilian last week.

you know the rules

 

[Cobwebcat]

There must be a reason for this. I just don’t know what it is.

 

[01cravend]

I

I don’t think that’s accurate mate. Flekken is insane at keeping the ball out of the net. Was the best at it whilst in the PL imo.

Yeah highest save % in the Prem last season

 

[OntarioBlue]

Instructions unclear: Savinho has just hit one in to the River Mersey.

Fuck, that’s a big miss. The Mersey must be about 5 miles away !

 

[BlueMonkey79]

More than likely no subs at half time because when the fuck is there ever

And that’s why we never see a response from players that play shite.

I couldn’t give a fuck. Make an example of them. Let them know that what they have just served up is UNNACEPTABLE for Man City!!!!

 

[PeterBarnesShorts]

As bad as utd were last night!…painful but true.
