Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Brentford (17/12/25)

[ayrshire_blue]

Total control.

That's it. That's it right there. Feels something close to where we've been and where we should strive to be. Controlling teams like Brentford - and I mean that with all due respect.

 

[Gumzy97]

Foden and Cherki just work, both special technical players. Seems they are getting along off the pitch as well that always helps.

 

[jollylescott]

Phil's playing with a lot of confidence

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Foden has to shoot there

 

[Chak19]

Why is Bernie shouting there ? calm down mate.

 

[Gobshiight]

Do Brentford know they're just one game away from a semi final?

 

[super_city_si]

So unlucky foden, brilliant feet

 

[malg]

When’s the draw for semi ?

We got Chelsea.

 

[waspish]

Any other player would of dived then when Foden was caught in pen area

 

[heslops barnet]

When’s the draw for semi ?

After bar codes game

 

[give it to gordon]

Half n half scarf.....Chelsea?

 

[Dax777]

Rico was open all the way :(

This.
They’re thriving off each other. It’s what they both need and they’re ours for years to come.

really don't know how after today's performance some people's conclusion is that they don't like savinho. tons of promise and effort and spark in this one. looks like start of last season's.

 

[pudge]

I backed Savinho to score and have two shots on target in the same bet that I have Reijnders to have just a shot on target... bastard

If they get 3 points at the weekend they won't care.

Not a figment of my imagination as it’s not that good tbh
I thought the FAC incident was an good example of inevitable

I was wrong about the word inevitable, my bad i apologise but im surprised by that wording, it says almost inevitable which is just nonsense. What the fuck does almost inevitable mean:-) something is either inevitable likely or possible, fucking FA dont help themselves. Plenty of goals are not scored with a one on one.

Anyhow imho and plenty of others on here he would have gone through on goal with a one on one with the keeper and would have got a shot off. Which according to those rules you quoted is a goal scoring opportunity.
The Henderson decision is totally irrelevant.

I feel its actually inevitable that we wont agree on this:-)

 

[Gibblue]

There’s a noticeable spark back in the team.

I could be chatting rubbish here but think Cherki brings a bit of confidence to Foden and others to try playing it forward and trust each others control for layoffs and one twos etc

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Delightful Phil

 

[Gumzy97]

I liked that celebration from Savinho bit of arrogance he needs that.
