Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Brentford (09/05/26)

[NptonBlue89!]

Not seen Haaland run across his man once and that cross has made it to the penalty spot every time, Haaland is gambling at all, neither is Cherki, neither is Semenyo.

Haaland as a CF is in the middle waiting for the low cross it’s cherki steenbok or reinders job to attack the penalty spot what’s Haaland to do play CM and attack it if get doku to mix his crosses up look at sane sterling for example

 

[coolcity]

We're doing OK but somebody needs to get hold of Bernardo and tell him to shut up or he's going to get sent off.

 

[Enzo's Mascara]

The smiling dutchman has to be hooked. Masquerading as a City player.

 

[M Gaudino]

2 Cup finals and moan and moan,unbelievable.

we arent that team anymore but then neither is anyone else. the standard has just reverted to the pre-2016 standard and we are there abouts

 

[NeilMcnabTwoFooted]

I think we have to be honest. We aren’t a great team anymore.

nobody’s claiming we are that’s hardly an insightful opinion, regardless we are capable of better than we’re showing.

 

[TB369]

This team is such a far cry from our centurions or treble winning team. They aren't capable of any consistency or making the most out of the opportunities we create. The best this group of players can achieve is a cup to be honest.

 

[cookster]

We've got one of the best offensive weapon in the league (Doku) but don't know how use it.

And wasting the best striker in the world.

 

[dhruvblue]

They wanted Grealish at AM when he had the creativity and IQ of a shoebox

his fanboys lost plot long time back

They think he was capable of playing position once graced by Kevin and David silva or even Yaya.
They took it as personal project to defend him even if means taking shots at Pep

 

[B\connellblue]

Well Peps got 15 mins to come up with a plan because this is shite.

He's had since fucking Monday and this is what hes managed.

 

[jimharri]

Marmoush would have bagged 2 in that first half.

Just saying

With comments like that, it's little wonder you're seldom seen on here.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Can’t tell me this officiating and 115 aren’t connected.

 

[WallyA]

Think we need to get Semenyo central, replace Savinho for Cherki and put him RW to create like Doku.

 

[pee dubya]

2nd half suckerpunch incoming.

One of those games where the other team is really organised, defending deep and you're kind of relying on a mistake, bit of magic or a break of the ball.

 

[wattle]

Abysmal half of football and wholly predictable with that line up. I love Pep, best coach in history IMO but that selection has delivered EXACTLY what was on the tin.

Reijnders…still dogshit.

Semenyo…turd.

Bernie…runs around but braindead.

Haaland…isolated.

Cherki…walking football.

Doku is again the only real positive.

Get Casper off the fucking pitch now, not after 75 mins. Put him in the bin and get it sent to landfill as a matter of urgency.

Utter bollox

 

[heslops barnet]

Not seen Haaland run across his man once and that cross has made it to the penalty spot every time, Haaland is gambling at all, neither is Cherki, neither is Semenyo.

Haaland waits for the ball instead of anticipating and running towards it…….

 

[burning blue soul]

Dear Team,
When Doku receives the fucking ball on the fucking left; can fucking one of you, ANYONE for fucks sake, stand at this fucking point and wait to score a fucking goal!!!
Regards,
BB fucking S

 

[coolcity]

Semenyo has been coached, hasn't he? Part of the machine now, and unrecognisable from the player that arrived.

Whole dressing room needs a rocket, as does our manager.

Get a grip

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

We need a right winger. Semenyo is pants.

I hear we have an academy player on the way up named Phil Foden.

Anyone know anything about him or if he's ready??

 

[hertsblue]

The drop off from few seasons ago is huge.

Shows had poor the PL is with us second.
Not one of our players gets in the PSG team, half of them wouldnt get into their squad.
Our tactics: give it Doku and hope one of his hundred crosses reaches one of our players. Failing that let Bernie or Reinjiers hit it 30 foot over the bar.
Just waiting for the customery fuck up at the back to score with their first shot on taget.

15 shots, 4 in target. Every single game. No other teams are close to us for being next to useless in front of goal.
Peps coached the goals from Semenyo and Haaland and just zero creativity or goals elsewhere.

 

[homerdog]

I would hope it's not for the team, but the refs not been controversial

Are you watching from the dark side of the moon?!
