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

[King Jay]

Cos he's gone past Trent 3 times?

Under normal circumstances he has 2 assists

 

[Pepmanc]

Good job they have a lot of injuries

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

Guehi doesn't know what day it is.

Donna could have actually dived a bit instead of a falling over dive for the 2nd goal. Could have reached it.

 

[stan bowles]

Savinho 1 decent game but no end product, lets be honest he froze v Newcastle when the ball hit him and Haaland stealing a living atm as clear as day he is saving himself for the World Cip

Haaland shouldn't have started. Marmoush had the shirt and the form to stay in.

 

[Legal Alien]

He isn't a left back. He's a brilliant midfielder and that's where he should be fucking playing tonight, proper piss take.

He's being asked to play in midfield when we attack and LB when we defend.
Guehi needs to cover

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Winning this tonight

Stranger things have happened. I feel like if he makes some changes we could do, but as things are at the moment we aren't looking great.

 

[Mancity1980]

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)

You don’t think this is an usual setup to take to the Bernabéu?

 

[BlueMooner87]

Savinho had an average performance vs NEwcastle nd gets to start while Marmoush who been banging goals in and looking dangeorus rotting on the bench again

Khusanov over Nunes just doesnt make sense. Same for O-Riley over RAN

I dont understand why marmoush doesnt get opportunities ahead of savinho,

 

[mcfc_ms]

Doku was running at Trent every time. Not done it once since they scored

He’s clearly their weak link, and we’re not even trying to exploit it

 

[youngbob]

And what about the second one, can you still be a top team? Let's just hope this is not the good half!

Yes. Top teams lose football games sometimes.

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

Just like the Spurs game we make average teams look there best

Maybe it’s against the teams in white where are arses drop out?
Let’s hope Swansea don’t get promoted

 

[skillman]

Bernardo slows everything down. We were rapid and fluid without him on Saturday and now he’s back in, we’ve resorted back to being tepid and recycling every fucking attack. Painful

 

[Micky Blue]

We will probably make a sub in the 70-80th minute when we are 3 down.

Only 3 down?
You’re optimistic.

 

[Ryan.98.]

Valverde is bumming oreilly senseless here

 

[ufo]

But we had a good start tbf

 

[Cassandra]

Thought kicking the ball away after a free kick had been awarded was a yellow card offence.

 

[SMB75]

They should refund the travel money again

 

[Gumzy97]

Peps been brilliant for us. But why does he overthink these big European games.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Absolutely fucking garbage from Pep.

The last time we played a midfield of Bernardo and Rodri we got murdered on the break by United.

Fucking ridiculous.

Overthought it and set us up to fail yet again

 

[madloaf]

Yes. Top teams lose football games sometimes.

We're the worst top team I've ever seen.
