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

[WallyA]

That initial 25 or so minute press from Madrid is the blueprint against us.

Press high while City are relaxed, win it, and do a long switch across the opposite fullback.

Nico O may not be a long-term full back but he’s starting to remind of Yaya with his runs and the positions he takes up.

He is absolute class. Love to watch him.

More like Dick Turpin, this ref.

Tossard doppelgänger

Poor first half & we're 2-1 up.
Pep needs to get that midfield tightened up

 

[Tolmie scores]

Cherki starting to enjoy himself...

Great touch then fks it up by trying to overdo though...he's a five a side player in some ways... we used to carry a few of these back in the day when we starved of good players...Kinki,,, Stephen Ireland in some ways...but we should be levels above that now..i think Pep is right to be in his ear...to be a top player use your skill then use the ball wisely..everything for a purpose

 

[OrigamiNinja]

I have no idea how we are in front. We have been shockingly bad.

We need to do something about this midfield. Bernie has been absolute turd and having Cherki and Foden floating around isn’t helping. Real aren’t even any good but our own poor play in the middle is killing us and helping them.

Real are absolute horrible cunts to play against. The diving, the moaning. It’s fucking atrocious.

 

[TKSG]

I think all playing well. Doku looks motivated. O'reilly on fire. Cherki doing cherki stuff. Let's be positive...it's half time away to Madrid and we are deservedly ahead Fgs.

Phil and Jude strengthening Palmers/Rodgers claim for the England 10 spot here

 

[Rory Bluelow]

Now then boys - no red cards !

 

[Ajm1985]

When he first joined he used to twat it in. No fucking about, no finesse - then he changed technique. Football is so much about stats and numbers nowadays that I assume there’s a reason but I’m like you, I’d rather see him smash it!

Didn't his pen against Bayern go over the bar? Wonder if that precipitated a change

 

[Gobshiight]

Cherki has been impressive so far. You can see he has the technical ability to demand the ball and keep it under pressure.

Would like to see more of that from Foden.

Yeah Foden will boss this game if he gets into it

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

English five live commentary saying it’s a harsh pen. Have all these ex players got Villas in Spain. Absolute wankers the lot of them.

Haaland should honestly have a penalty every game because referees allow this every time. Disgusting that there are people really thinking it is ok for a defender to grapple an attacker.

 

[tornandfrayed]

Phil foden is absolutely non existent here

That's your take from us leading at the Bernabeu after going behind.

 

[GSW Blue]

McCoist needs his belt and shoelaces took off him if we win this!

 

[jimharri]

How was that penalty initially not given? Answers on a postcard to....

 

[N1985]

Beating the Spanish rags 2-1 at half time and I have absolutely no idea how.

But I'll fucking take it

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Good half apart from a couple dodgy moments. These are rattled, just need to stay calm and clinical second half we'll get opportunities to kill them off.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Remind me please blues…if these disingenuous cunts ever play Arsenal under Arteta, don’t let me watch it!

The highlights reel would be funny, though.
