Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Brentford (17/12/25)

[King Jay]

Think the reason khusanov doesn’t play so much is his rashness with giving away challenges.

Can’t get into form when you play every 5 games

 

[pudge]

Shocking attempt that from Bobb, should be burying that

 

[Blu1]

Our back up players are just not good enough. This compared to our squad 4 years ago is such a drop off.

Feel for Nico G he needs a break

 

[01cravend]

Start forgiving the shortcomings if Tijani keeps playing these Dave pre assist balls

 

[I'm Blue]

Aye. I wasn’t trying to be snide or anything, just that most of our usual night matches are at 8.

Nearly caught me out to be fair.
I only checked cos I thought it could be 7.45pm ko.

 

[Chak19]

Another great pass from Reijnders, another waste from a winger.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Linesman playing a blinder for us. Flags every time.

Helped by Schade being offside every time ;)
That would infuriate me if it was a City player

 

[pennblue]

Bobb.... Should do better

 

[theholysmurf]

Bobb has to do better there

 

[skillman]

Ah unlucky Bobb. Skinned him, poor finish

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Bobby boy perhaps should have squared that, much better though

 

[super_city_si]

Nice move. Unlucky Bobb.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Couple of nice passes from reijnders so far

 

[heslops barnet]

Poor by Bobb

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

We are looking OK at the moment.

Young Nico O'Reilly is quickly establishing himself as someone Pep Guardiola can fully rely on, whichever competition it is - there is no rest for the 20-year-old tonight.

After scoring a dream goal against Real Madrid last week, I asked Guardiola about his reliability to City and the manager replied by calling him "the best left-back in the UK".

 

[bridgeno1]

That weird rectangular graphic thing they show at the end of replays is really annoying me.

 

[dannyboiblue]

That's a red that fuck me

 

[OrigamiNinja]

We really do have a lot of average quality squad players. Mix them in with the regular starters and they’re serviceable but when theyre all in the XI, it’s a tough watch.

Fucking hate Hinchcliff. Prick
