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

He denied a goal scoring opportunity so we couldn’t have complained if it had been red. Agree Hinchcliffe is painful though

Yeah.

It was 50/50 that for me.

 

[theres only one carlito]

Just been going on about our xg being 0.2 and only a moment of brilliance from Cherki being the difference , I'm watching the ht highlights I'm sure I've just seen 4 shots on target lol wtf

Hinchcliffe can get in the bin. Every single game it’s like he wants us to struggle, lose, or that we are some how lucky. Every fekin time.

 

[malg]

So, a couple of questions; are we excited about the youthful nature of this team set up?

And...

Does anyone like the flashy/ "tekky" side of the team inspired by Cherki?

For the second question, I'm not sure Guardiola's turned over that leaf to let them "have the courage to play".

I can see him going mad at that stuff, really, as it needs a time and a place and not everyone at it...

I agree with you.

Don't mind the odd flick here and there as it's good to watch, but I do think at times it can be overdone. That silly **** at the Rags springs to mind.

 

[Petethemancinleeds]

If Cherki could just volley the ball so it permanently embeds itself in Hinchcliffes gob ....

It’s one of those either way that could be argued. Shame big nose feels the need to keep banging on about it with such vigor.

I’m not there tonight so can’t get the full picture, and I’m going to say something I’ve not said for about a year and a half, and I’m going to whisper it, but ………….
Savinho is playing quite well

 

[manimanc]

Can't stand Hinchliffe commentating.
He is such a negative prick when he does our games.
And his bellend sidekick doesn't help either.

 

[Gabriel]

Once Rodri is back and up to speed, Gonzalez will play less. Better giving him the game time now.

 

[Blu1]

He plays Savinho

Let me correct myself how does pep pick either of savio or reijnders lol no way they would be in my team

 

[TKSG]

Im beginning to think that this Cherki guy may be quite good at football.

 

[hilts]

Ok, who’s been banging Hinchcliffe’s mrs?

If he's got an arse for a nose has she got a nose for an arse?

 

[Gordyola]

Not shit but that’s his job plus he could have been sent, I doubt he’s ever gonna get enough minutes to prove otherwise
Feel for the lad tbh

He’s young and will be a regular for City in time

 

[Revolver]

To be fair I don’t think I’ve ever heard fan of any other team state they like Hinchcliffe as co commentator

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Correct. Don't fall for the commentary propaganda. "Shaky start at City". Did he fuck. Usually our MOTM whenever he plays.

Of our 2 CBs, I have far more confidence in Khusanov than I do Ake.

 

[malg]

Himchcliffe can get in the bin. Every single game it’s like he wants us to struggle, lose, or that we are some how lucky. Every fekin time.

However, he did just say 'City fans like a bit of Cherki at Christmas'.......

 

[willipp]

Savinho has done alright to be fair to him.

 

[Blueknows]

Once Rodri is back and up to speed, Gonzalez will play less. Better giving him the game time now.

I think they'll both start

 

[bert38]

Sometimes these games are useful.

Cherki had been terrific. Scoring a quality goal.
Foden decent since he has come on.

Khusanov showing why he isn’t playing in the 1st team. Not good enough. Doesn’t look like he has it at all.

Khusanov def has ‘it’ but he reminds of Savic-far too interested in running around flattening people. He’s so quick he really doesn’t need to-otherwise like Savic he will have no future here.

 

[IronsideKozuch]

He's been good?

Hes done good few times today, but people still decide this is what they want to moan about, how much the guy costed, hilarious actually

 

[TShed]

Cherki he’s the business

If he carries on like this we’ve got a new David Silva / Kinkladze on our hands

And for once arguably not since YaYa a cocky twat who will wind people up big style can’t wait for the swamp derby would love our show pony to destroy the rags and take the piss
