Match Thread | Real Madrid vs. Manchester City (11/03/26)

[King Jay]

Savinho and Doku are awful.

Always alone with no fullback helping them. Back to the basics

 

[Damanino]

teams need very little to put huge danger on our goal or even score. Pep unable to sort that since a long time. thats why we concede from generally very few attempts all the time.

 

[paulchapo]

Pep.overthinking the lineup again has disrupted the team and cost us.

 

[MCFC1993]

Ait Nouri on, Savinho off.

 

[mancityscot]

Team line up made no sense whatsoever. no need to go fucking around with whats been working for us in recent weeks

 

[AirbagsOptionalTheReturn]

We are making them look like a class team here. Not sure our balance is right- but saying that we could have been 2 up before they scored so it’s a weird one

 

[chesterbells]

Fletcher and McCoist shot their load here. Awful commentary.

 

[M Gaudino]

wasted the pressure we had first 20 with casual passes, and carrying the big unfit lump up front who hasn't played well for 8-9 weeks. madrid popping it about now whilst the ball bounces off the 4 forwards we've selected rather than getting the ball players on the pitch

 

[jollylescott]

Playing two wingers is disastrous

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Goals come too easily against us.

Odd line up away from home at Madrid. Not tight enough.

 

[Gumzy97]

All this talk in the media (and on here) about what we were going to do to Madrid. Riiiiight.

We just haven't turned up this Madrid team got bullied by Getafe and barley beat Celta Vigo. They aren't good.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

We are rotating and swivelling between a back 3, 4 and 5. O'Reilly appears to have a free left back role which is bizarre.

It’s not working. The midfield is wide open, which leaves the defence isolated.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Someone pre match said theyll miss Pep because fucks about with the team... This despite the fact it's cost us in 9 of his seasons here in this comp

I think he tends to over think sometimes…I said on the pre match pep will be the genius or villain based on how tonight goes…not looking good so far.

 

[Ban-jani]

Savinho and Doku are awful.

Doku has been our best player

 

[N1985]

We've got the players to put these to the sword unfortunately half of them are on the fucking bench!

 

[mattyads]

Semenyo off, and go to a formation we know has served us well.

 

[Ian Latham]

Like boys v men......they look terrified

 

[OntarioBlue]

Pep fucking up a European knockout phase? Never! Colour me fucking surprised.

How is this on Pep. He has probably picked as strong a starting eleven as possible. Weve missed a couple of decent chances and conceded two poor goals (they were both well taken but poor defensive goals)

 

[Tourist since 1971]

Real Madrid TV. Fucking hate TNT

 

[SiMCFC]

Least it will save me some money as second leg will be fucking pointless.
