Match Thread | Manchester City vs. B.Leverkusen (25/11/25)

[OldhamBlue94]

I knew it would be bad looking at the lineup but fuck me this is woeful

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Think Sav is the shittest Brazilian we’ve had since Jo.

I'm not a big fan but that chance was cockd up by Lewis. He should have just held his position and played a 1.2

 

[Pepmanc]

This is what you get when changing 10 players. Playing Lewis in the number 10 role is unbelievable.
Pep has had a brain fart.

 

[USA_SkyBlue]

Absolutely awful first half. No goal scoring threat, disorganized in the back. Fucking terrible. Pep has to make changes at the half or we're dropping points to another mediocre squad

 

[Craig]

Well, that was as bad as we all feared it might be. No time to waste with the subs, get Haaland, Foden and Doku on straightaway.

You know he’ll probably bloody wait though!

 

[citytill1die84]

We'll win this with a few subs

[mattcity5]

Reijnders is awful.

Expected so much more from him and plays like he has no confidence whatsoever

He's dreadful defensively and then takes the wrong option so often. Feels like he slows it down or speeds it up at the wrong time.

 

[Ajm1985]

I actually think the last 10 minutes was fine, we started to break through the lines and move them around. If the second half goes like that we'll get a result, the problem is I think it'll take us 20 mins+ to find that level of urgency again.

I think they are there for the taking, we've just not got people in-form & confident to punish them.

 

[PragueBlue]

I've been listening on the City website...it sounds like a few fouls haven't been given for us...is this ref as bad as Saturday's or maybe they're related?

Been quite poor I think.

 

[Gundoggin]

Savinho must sell fucking loads of shirts !!!!!!

 

[HoneyMonster89]

It feels like it's never going to happen for Reijnders in front of goal. He's had so many near misses over the past few months.

A draw wouldn't be a disastrous result. Pep will need to make a few changes though. Possibly Doku and Haaland.

 

[xgorton]

How many subs allowed?

11 we hope.

 

[MCFC1993]

Well, that was as bad as we all feared it might be. No time to waste with the subs, get Haaland, Foden and Doku on straightaway.

Agree with that, attack looks impotent without them.

 

[heslops barnet]

You can’t change 10 players and expect a fluent team.

Pep must have?

 

[Blueknows]

I've been listening on the City website...it sounds like a few fouls haven't been given for us...is this ref as bad as Saturday's or maybe they're related?

Refs been decent tbf

 

[The Mighty Marmoush]

Oh dear, do we always have to blame the ref?

 

[christened at st marks]

Newcastle we were cheated, this is totally Pep at his arrogant worst he is past it with City needs to move on and a lot of very average players in the squad

 

[SWPISHOME]

What a complete waste of time.

This is down to Pep, the team selection was fucking awful and it's showing on the pitch.

Play your best 11, get the game won and then make changes.

Losing or Drawing tonight puts us in a bad position having to go away go Real Madrid next in the Champions League and realistically we ain't winning that game...

Ludicrous team selection, there's a reason most of those players tonight don't get game time, Rico Lewis, Savinho, Bobb wouldn't get a game for Wolves ffs.
