Match Thread | Real Madrid vs. Manchester City (10/12/25)

[Blu1]

O'Reilly and Doku have been our only threats in open play.

Oreilly has done a lot more than doku for me

 

[I'm Blue]

Just hope we don’t have a second half collapse which is our standered lately

If we’re not fired up against Madrid away then god help us.

 

[roach3]

So these cunts are rattled no replay of the cherki foul just then, bellend almost in tears
When his team mate tried to cheat for a pen
Worried for Bernie here he’s way too slow and ineffective but I’ll bet cherki comes off before him. Big earl got em rattled aswell good to see. And the thug for once not getting away with it.

 

[Mr HJ]

They were bound to have a fast start so credit to the boys for sticking with it. Nico G has really been good and is not afraid to put it about against Spanish opponents. Rayan starting to get under their skin and was very unlucky with the follow up strike after a great counter.

One thing that was a certainty was Rodrigo scoring after the commentators went on for about 10 mins how he hasn't scored for 32 games.

I think Doku could have a big role this second half he has the beating of their fullback. We just need to be careful we don't lose shape when we bomb forward as the switch to their left back seems to be on a lot. Bernie needed to be tougher on their goal but can't fault that half.

We must go for the third as I can see them having chances. Come on boys finish the job...

 

[Debaser]

The rags of Spain, same as Bayern in ze farterland

Worse, especially what their history is and who it's linked to.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Just Bernie & doku not in it for me. One of them to come off.

Well done city great come back

Doku has been great in possession and he has had his defender on toast. The problem is he hasn’t found a teammate yet with a pass. It undoes all the good work.

 

[ysmsa]

Just Bernie & doku not in it for me. One of them to come off.

Well done city great come back

Doku has put about 6 balls in whilst we've had a picture!

 

[Tolmie scores]

I have no idea how we are in front. We have been shockingly bad.

We need to do something about this midfield. Bernie has been absolute turd and having Cherki and Foden floating around isn’t helping. Real aren’t even any good but our own poor play in the middle is killing us and helping them.

Real are absolute horrible cunts to play against. The diving, the moaning. It’s fucking atrocious.

I mean missing the Ballon D'or winner is a tough ask..im just fearing Colin Bell 2..with Rodri

 

[oldius]

The beautiful game is lost on this team - a bunch of prima-donnas throwing themselves to the ground at every opportunity and wittering constantly in the referee's ear.

 

[Alcatraz]

He is absolute class. Love to watch him.

Yes, but he can’t defend and that is leaving us exposed on the flank. Mind you, Doku could be doing more.
As a midfielder or even attacker NOR is doing a great job as he does so often

 

[Revolver]

Not sure what a draw means for us tonight in this league format but would take a draw. Bad memories of them coming back and sooner or later their play acting may get rewarded.

 

[WallyA]

Looks like a 4132 press with Bernie and Foden quite high.

Problem is that once it gets by passed by the wings our midfield is light.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Can't quite believe we are ahead after that 1st 30 odd minutes. Just shows that Real are there for the taking and a bit brittle. Scored with our 1st attempt on goal too.

 

[Blue warrior]

Still 2/3 goals in this just not sure which side will get them

 

[Coljj]

Remind me please blues…if these disingenuous cunts ever play Arsenal under Arteta, don’t let me watch it!

Done them 5-1 on aggregate last season and passed the mentality test in that tie.

 

[Blue Mist]

If it's not been said this ref needs investigating. 2 totally bent penalty (one not given) decisions

 

[Ajm1985]

Sick of people moaning about Nunes. While he’s been a bit erratic, he’s done more positive things in this game than half the other players on the pitch for both teams.

Confirmation Bias at work for them.

 

[01cravend]

Same message twice in 2 minutes pathetic

One was an accidental reply and deleted. Why you so emotional about it?

 

[Blue Bogey]

Want to see us start controlling the game now keeping possession…city fans shouting ole for every successful pass and that will wind up the Madrid crowd which in turn will make the Madrid players lose their minds.

Shockingly bad? Madrid have had 1 shot on target ffs.
