Match Thread | Man City vs Real Madrid (07/08/20)

[Homar]

The match is reflecting our season. Teams need very few chances to score against us. Zidane has clearly identified Fernandinho as the weakness in that back line and they have the pace in attack to exploit. We’ve probably been the better side on balance, but we can concede at any minute.

I want an extension to half time. I’m not mentally ready for the 2nd half yet. Half time is nice.

take off your blue glasses - he’s the number one ref in europe.

Yeah UEFA's #1 ref. Say no more

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

He's an underrated player

Some player isn't he Benzema

That is what annoys me tho...we know he has the knack to score goals, but we should be more aware that this fucker has the top abilty to score from crosses and his movement is spot on

The back line and rodri...someone should be looking to block his runs when the cross is lookkng likely

Give him a free run and it is likely a goal

we are not offering much of an attacking threat when we get into good positions.

Midfield is too slow and easily bypassed and KDB hasnt been in the game enough.

Gundogan anonymous as per usual

Sometimes I wish it was Wycombe away on a wet cold Tuesday night. Can’t say I’m enjoying this.

Surely, during a huge game on a City fans forum, blue glasses are a fucking minimum?

 

[Neville Kneville]

Picked up pace last five minutes, we lack aggression in midfield. Ref obviously doesn’t know pulling shirts is a foul

Give the officials a chance, they will take it.

Kevin ran the show, Walker was outstanding. Raheem too wasteful despite the goal, Foden too inexperienced for this kind of contest. Our defense ...same old same old and that what worries me the most moving into the second half, luckily their defense is too sloppy so we can score and that would out balance any goals we may concede.
