Match Thread | Real Madrid vs. Manchester City (10/12/25)

These are definitely reffed differently in Europe to anybody else.

 

[Semper aggressus]

They are playing off josko and oreilly any time either of them get it they’re like Bambi on ice

We’d be better off pumping it forward every time. Our best players are up front, get it up there, no fannying about at the back.

I honestly reckon old fashioned Wimbledon 1988 style up to Haaland with Foden, Doku and Cherki buzzing around would have Madrid in disarray.

As things are we’re going to get picked off at the back every touch.

 

[Gesario]

Instant yellow prick.

Yep That’s me

Gvardiol really is a walking mistake isn't he

 

[Coljj]

That's the 2nd time Gvardiol almost got us into trouble trying to turn on a dime.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Couldn't rock up to the Bernabeu in high-vis

But but but we play in Blue!! ;-)

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Some of our players are absolutely playing the occasion and not the opponent so far. Must be insane levels of adrenaline for someone like NOR, to be fair

Cherki, Nico G and Dias looking by far the most settled and composed so far

 

[Goater=Legend]

No doubt the Madrid players will make the same challenge and not get booked

 

[Blu1]

Every city player is slipping sort your Fookin boots out

 

[No.8]

Stupid card by Foden

Peps reaction said it all. Just daft

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

So the pullback on Nunez wasn't a yellow but Foden mistimes a tackle and is instantly carded?

Seems legit.

 

[I'm Blue]

Would anyone take a draw?

Now no.
Ask me again later : )

 

[East Level 2]

Would anyone take a draw?

Yes, if the next ten minutes are as bad as the first ten.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Is there any one among the outfield players who hasn't given the ball away unnecessarily inside the first 15 minutes?

 

[Gumzy97]

Peps tactics so far are playing into Madrids hands. We are so easy to break through.

 

[WallyA]

Madrid playing like a wounded animal, they've playing to prove something.

It looks like we are slowly realizing they are very serious.

 

[Blu1]

Doku is rushing everything. Calm down

 

[pudge]

Doku trying to put together a YouTube compilation tonight

 

[waspish]

Looks like Alonso has the team he wants with not to many glory players

 

[paulchapo]

Would anyone take a draw?

Obviously but we aren't getting one.
