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

[AirbagsOptionalTheReturn]

Doku has been fantastic, the guys in the middle need to move more and make different runs. Should be 2 up as well, Erl should have buried the headers imo

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Kovacic was awful in the Everton match, made a few mistakes, one cost us a goal.

Yeah see this is the double standard.

KOVACIC makes mistakes but everyone blames Doku or Savinho or Rico or Reijnders or Nunes or Semenyo or someone else..

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Big cherki fan but he’s been off it for 2-3 games now. Need him to unlock a chance

 

[BlueMonkey79]

This team looks like its ready for a beach and some sunshine, rather than putting in a title charge.

 

[ALDN_Ko]

Cherki had a shit half along with others

No movement in front of him. I’ll give him that grace

 

[vicblueman]

Clearly got the ball

Was it
Time for me to go to specsavers then or take my bluetinted glasses off

 

[coolcity]

Watching his first touch makes you realise just how good Mahrez was. You can see why he started at Bristol.

Everybody was drooling over Semenyo when he came and slagging me off when I said I don't rate him. I still don't and would play Savinho ahead of him every time.

 

[phargrave]

Honestly, I quite like Savinho, but I don't want a chance dropping to him rather than Semenyo

Can’t be any worse surely..?

 

[Gabriel]

Silva and Guardiola are wasting energy squabbling with the officials over petty concerns, when the bigger problems are of our own making.

 

[DMA's]

Why he should play inside

I think swapping him with cherki could work in this game

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Haaland a total spectator. Hopefully he can stumble onto a Doku cross some time before the end of the game.

He stumbled on two crosses which he pissed away already.

 

[borassic]

I'm listening to the commentator's Clive Allen & Alistair Mann on the City website. Is the game their for the taking?

Absolutely, we’ve battered them

 

[Coljj]

Has anyone said draw is good result and arsenal will bottle the league?

It's just about pushing it to the final day for me so they have to lift it at Selhurst Park.

That or they win it watching on TV with us dropping points against Bournemouth.

Either way doubtful we win our last 3 games and improve our goal difference by whatever is needed.

 

[Taylor]

The ref has been dreadful, we just need to move the ball to the wing quicker and commit.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Cherki is awful in the middle third of the pitch, he just stands still with the ball then plays it square, he has no idea how to dictate the game. Get him in the final third or take him off.

 

[TFC]

Fucking giant half coming up here

 

[waspish]

Thank fuck I rarely come in here on a match day.
It's like watching one flew over the cuckoos nest.
Fuckin full of absolute Mary Ellen's.

Yeah it’s great! Have a go moan like fuck call every player out as being dogshit it great fun! That madness song would be apt!

 

[ShedDweller]

It’s the usual standard of officiating…

 

[jimharri]

Only started coming on the match day thread this season it’s brill can moan like fuck call all the players and pep out as being shite! Game over back to being sensible

The match threads are truly an, er, experience that everyone should witness. If we don't win today, wait for the post match thread!

 

[thyer64]
