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

[I'm Blue]

I swear every blocked shot has rebounded straight to one of their players.

 

[the plasterer]

No need to worry, Pep will tell us how well we played and all be OK

 

[dannyboiblue]

Our style of play is outdated now far to slow and predictable

 

[East Level 2]

Ive just finished work.

How bad has it been?

Four in a row, domestic treble and 100 points. So not allowed to say we've been utter shite.

 

[jamielowndes]

Why the fuck would Haaland stick around with this type of shite.

He signed a 9 year extension while we were far worse.

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Why the fuck would Haaland stick around with this type of shite.

Because he’s got a very lucrative 10 year contract

 

[hogismuir]

My point is asking what has happened to Haaland in the last two games, it isn't ridiculous as his finishing has been shocking the last two games. Christ. It's not a massive fucking judgement

No striker in history scores like him. All strikers have off games. If it was like 6 games or something you'd have a point. I think his exploits have made people over critical. You expect every shot he takes to fly in the net?? Most strikers go several games without scoring at some point. He's not a robot really you know.

 

[Allnightlong]

Not as if Leverkasen are playing anti football. No diving etc….

Nailed on

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

It's past its sell by date for me.

It's not, we just don't have the kdb, silvas, mahrez, dinho types to do it anymore

 

[citeh94]

Poor

 

[paulchapo]

so poor this. Shows how much work needs doing in this squad

We've spent about 200 million in two windows on this lot.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Fuck knows what Pep and his assistants do in training

I've been saying/ asking that question all season.

 

[argyle]

O'Reilly with the England curse.

Comes back and now cant control a ball.

 

[jollylescott]

Rule number one: Don't pick a team as if you're playing Huddersfield in the second round of the Carabou Cup.

 

[jprkas]

No. What I'm saying is that Rodri was underwhelming in his first season. Marmoush and Reijnders likely aren't going to win the Ballon D'Or, but they're going to need time to acclimatise. I'm just being pragmatic about it given how many players have improved in their 2nd full season here under Pep. Marmoush signed to a team that had just navigated a crisis and spent part of this season injured.

Excuses , Excuses when will they stop.Can't compare most of this shower to prime D.Silva, Walker, Kompany, De Bruyne etc etc

 

[pennblue]

This ref is a tit

 

[Frankie lad]

It’s just like Saturday.Time to get back in but creating nowt.

 

[Big_Alan]

Same ref as Saturday

 

[Chak19]

Cherki's shooting has been atrocious.
