Match Thread | Man City vs At. Madrid (05/04/22)

[Blu1]

Ake our furthest player forward then is ridiculous for kevs cross

The lads are certainly putting a shift in.

Were playing well. Just have zero cutting edge.

They are infuriating to play against. The low block we usually play against each week in the prem but they really know what they are doing and have real quality and pace on the counter.

Totally agree. They have 2 or 3 players always looking for the break and forward pass.

If Sterling was on the right, he'd have gotten round the defence a few times already.

You can see he's in form and confident, he's just not as good on the left.

 

[Jung the foreman]

We need to get Mahrez on the ball more often.

 

[trotsky]

A Glorified Crystal Palace are Atletico

I hope not!

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Be nice if someone showed for a through ball.

Where are you going to play through them? They aren’t going to allow that. We have to go wide, shift them over, then try to get the ball to the opposite side.

 

[Josh_D]

They don’t even pressure you until you’re super close, thus drawing the City defenders up so if they get it, they can quickly break while the lads are further up.

I see the usual doom and gloom merchants on here this evening. I swear, some of them hardly ever post anything positive. Definitely "glass half empty" folk.

 

[dublin-blue]

Hate to say it but against a team like this you need a big lumpy target man to whip it at all game
