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

[Gaylord du Bois]

If we just upped our intensity we could fucking muller these wankers tonight!

Upped ? It's fucking organised chaos as it is !

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Bernardo Silva needs to step up if he has more to give

 

[The Mighty Marmoush]

Bernado seems to easy to push off the ball these days, have noticed it over a lot of games

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

How the hell are we winning? All this talk about Alonsos job being at risk, the true sackable offence has been Peps setup here. Woeful tactics from him. This setup is worse than the starting 11 he put out against leverkusen.

He better change it second half. Drop Bernardo central next to Nico so we can actually have something resembling a midfield, that one change will make a world of difference. Need to stop throwing everybody ahead of the ball and then attacking at walking pace, it's just suicide without any benefit. I want to see us attack quicker but without throwing everybody forward.

All we need to do is sit in position and not give them space to attack then we can hit them on the break and finish them. That is also all we needed to do at Fulham though and we did the exact opposite.

And you know more than pep?

 

[Blu1]

Haaland needs to be all over rudiger in 2nd half. Defo Red waiting to happen

 

[I'm Blue]

Slippy ****.

 

[Allnightlong]

Like to see a replay of Doku getting knee to the head. Defo not accidental.

 

[Ric]

I'd get Reijnders on for Bernardo in the second half.

 

[Kippax77]

The most worrying aspect of that 1st half is how the ref didn't/wouldn't give our penalty in real time.
A perfect view but somehow thought NO

 

[RobinHood]

Stevie me - Rodrygo great, our goal shit.

 

[TinFoilHat]

City....

Tearing fascists apart again.

 

[mcfcpride]

I think we are extremely lucky to be ahead. The momentum was on Madrid’s side for a majority of that half.

 

[TShed]

Wish Pep would now pack the midfield so they can’t get any control

Which is a lot different than this first half which surely would throw Alonso and his second half plans

 

[Kippax77]

I'd get Reijnders on for Bernardo in the second half.

All day

 

[eyalluvitt]

Worse, especially what their history is and who it's linked to.

Nobody is worse than nitid in my eyes

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Looks like a 4132 press with Bernie and Foden quite high.

Problem is that once it gets by passed by the wings our midfield is light.

This is something of an understatement

 

[WallyA]

I'd get Reijnders on for Bernardo in the second half.

That's the wrong sub.

Phil is on a yellow and he needs the sub.

Subbing Bernie out for a weaker midfield player will make us worse.

At least Foden is higher up and on a yellow.

 

[Allnightlong]

Haaland needs to be all over rudiger in 2nd half. Defo Red waiting to happen

Thought Cherki would have been taken out after the nutmeg

 

[Blu1]

Bernardo Silva needs to step up if he has more to give

That’s the issue he’s not got it in him now

 

[Ajm1985]

Bernado seems to easy to push off the ball these days, have noticed it over a lot of games

He also gets his body wrong side - he did it for their goal
