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

[r.soleofsalford]

What is the point of Reijnders if he is not even ghosting into the box to get on the end of these pullbacks from Doku?

Him and Cherki will be lucky to come out second half, both completely anonymous.

Reijnders adds nothing I’m afraid

 

[manimanc]

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.

Looks like they've achieved that.
Mission accomplished.

 

[antspider]

Doku has been our best player , still I bet he picks noughts over crosses

 

[noseve]

How the fuck does doku create more in the next 45? Semenyo does not work on the right at all

Semenyo has never been a stop-go player though - he needs a team playing with pace. He's not the first player we've bought who's output has reduced with time - the opposite to what generally happens at other clubs.
If Bournemouth had played with our style, we'd never have heard of Semenyo in the first place.

I completely lose faith in Pep putting that idiot in nets worst keeper since b4 Eddie

That’s a bit strong but I would be playing Trafford for these last few games.

 

[coolcity]

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.

Go and have a lie down.

 

[Nellies left peg]

Semenyo absolutely shite, even managed to tackle himself at one point!

He’s making that Stockport striker earlier look good

 

[jimharri]

Look on the bright side; we're not behind. Which is about as much as we could have wished for, given that performance.

 

[Kippax77]

Looks like they've all lumped on Arsenal to win the league

 

[Enzo's Mascara]

They not booing the players ffs. Fucking ridiculous comment.

Spot on..ref getting it.

 

[Blueknows]

Shite reffing. Again

Match report bbc

Boos at the half-time whistle from the home fans, aimed at the referee rather than the players. They're not happy with the lack of time added on and one or two other decisions.

 

[Blue and true]

Get a grip

I have got a grip. I'm addressing the evidence that's right in front of me.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Walking football again. Ref yet again a joke

 

[Gabriel]

They’ll be happy to keep the game disrupted, knowing we’ll grow increasingly frustrated if it continues thus.

Feels like a half for Foden.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

We haven’t half spunked away a lot of dough on average players.

 

[borassic]

Bernardo needs to stfu up as well

 

[waspish]

Maybe pep put Doku inside! It’s mad he scored two goals from inside and he has him spanning crosses into no man’s land

Haaland stood at back post like a lamppost, why doesn't he try attacking the near post sometimes

 

[ALDN_Ko]

Bullshit we had 5 players going in the same sapce
Every time … someone needs to stand on the penalty spot ffs

It’s like they don’t understand football, Messi’s best passes were always into space for players to run onto. It’s not like Doku is sending it to the back post. It’s literally going to the penalty spot and no one is gambling.

 

[hertsblue]

why do so many defend like prime Ac Milan against us

They dont, we are badly coached and have no cutting edge these days.
