Match Thread | Brentford vs. Manchester City (05/10/25)

[Beanhead]

The Octopus had Xavi’s composure in comparison to Nico

I forgot all about the octopus. I brought into the nick name despite hardly seeing play prior to us signing him. And told anyone that would listen that he would kill it. Suffice to say I felt let down.

Rinse repeat Monaco coming up GET SAVIO OFF FFS

 

[citymad]

A real drop off in quality this half. Hopefully we can hang in there.

 

[HolisticJim]

Everyone and his dog can see we need to change something. Why is Pep such a dick sometimes and just gets so stubborn that we end up losing.

Fkin change it Pep ffs

 

[oxopop]

Getting more scrappy and that suits them more. Fucking get on it City!!

 

[Mentis]

I don't mind a long throw, but fucking hell, get on with it. You shouldn't be allowed to take 30 seconds over a fucking throw in.

Yes, I know someone's injured. More a general point.

Thought towels were banned, too

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Absolutely mad how at some point during a match we seem to collectively forget how to control a football and all of a sudden the whole team is stumbling over everything and giving the ball away at every opportunity. Was exactly like this v Spurs. It's like some kind of virus.

 

[samuelyeboah]

this fucking manager. SUBS BENCH. PEP. THEY ARE RIGHT BEHIND YOU. LITERALLY NO BRAINER

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Ch-ch-changes.

 

[lee one pen]

We are no where near good enough. This is pathetic

 

[theholysmurf]

They’re looking to build up the injury time, all the teams are doing it now. It’s a dirty tactic but I get why they do.

 

[Zenmanc]

Does Pep get a bonus for unused subs?

 

[super_city_si]

Pep doing the “this is fine” meme

 

[mattyads]

Honestly…how on earth have we got to be at this point at 70 mins again.

It should have been done and dusted by 30 mins.

 

[01cravend]

Doku stripped down but just sat on the bench lol

 

[handsofstone]

If we drop points it's on Pep for horrible game management

How can he sit there and watch us lose momentum minute by minute?

 

[YaYa's Left Peg]

We can't play through press, over 400 spent on summer + winter transfer, and no improvements

Bollocks

 

[GornikDaze]

Doku looks ready

 

[Blue-Ghana]

We’re not even controlling our possession now. We’ve become careless

It's not carelessness, we can't handle the press

 

[urban genie]

jezza and cherki on for savinho and bobb

give them something to think. about
