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

[stan bowles]

He’s been playing midfield and playing well, then for one massive game he gets shunted back to left back, what a crazy, reckless decision

Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to put the kid to LB in a game like this.

Siren ?

 

[Blu1]

No need to drop cherki, Nunes or ait nori tonight. They deserved to play

 

[waspish]

3 Madrid players in Doku! It’s mad how teams just park the bus when we have the ball

 

[Jwoody19]

Bodo glimt all over again this

 

[decmancity]

If pep has any bollocks make 5 subs at half time or just fucking hand your notice in, embarrassing.

 

[MMA]

Zero need to piss about with the team like this. Every time we find balance pep changes it

Get savio off now

Yep.
Erl off.
Dias off.
Stones , mush and beef jerki should have started.
Great team performance against the goerdies then pep brain farts and changes it all .
Mush suites us better there I've said it..

 

[dubblue]

They now realise we have nothing but Doku…zilch…nice one

 

[Roachy]

So disjointed atm, no creativity up front.

 

[paulsimpson]

Come on City.

 

[clarion]

The board brought him Semenyo and Guehi and he keeps fucking around with this team.
Disgraceful

 

[toutmaster]

Pep great over a season in a one off game he can cost us

 

[ThreesKompany]

Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to put the kid to LB in a game like this.

He played there earlier this season at Madrid.

 

[Metal Biker]

SO the game plan is get the ball to Doku who then crosses it in for Haaland, ja?

I think Real have worked that out.

 

[East Level 2]

Everyone needs to calm down a bit, writing us out of the competition already.

We've created loads of chances, there's an hour left. Just calm it down, reset, go again and we can still win this.

Loads of chances but our XG is only 0.15 so they can't have been very good chances. Just balls to where strikers aren't.

 

[super_city_si]

Wouldn’t mind Cherki for savinho and put Semenyo wide too

 

[Mr HJ]

Looking at the replay of their second we had six players all in a line not one going with the single runner who scored. Savinho just standing on the touchline is ok when we have the ball but when they have it we become all unbalanced. To be fair to Madrid they seem to be up for this and their passing is crisp and early to feet.

First 35 mins has been a disaster and to me looking at it rationally it is about being prepared and Pep coaching them to be too rigid in this double winger set up. I'm fuming that on the 2 occasions we have flashed it across the goal the opposite winger and our centre forward are nowhere to be seen.

We have no answer to it whatsoever.

 

[blue moony]

Haaland is not a big game player

 

[pbueno16]

Doku getting doubled or even tripled now. There goes our only attacking threat.
