Match Thread | Man City vs. Real Madrid (17/04/24)

I think the goal was actually good for us, it looked like the Chelsea final those first 10 minutes. Playing like they were absolutely terrified. Good to get a kick up the arse early on and not on 80 minutes.

What is the point of playing Phil out wide? Have him in the middle or on the bench.

Haaland needs to step it up. He’s been so poor up top

He does not deserve to be starting right now

Maybe the players were as arrogant as our fans before ko thinking wed stroll it

I highly doubt that especially at 3-3.

Not sure I’ve seen people here be arrogant. Well, I’d have to say i didn’t really look at the pre-match so no clue how blues here were feeling prior

This melt

Who the fuck is this guy and why is he in our sector. Chuck him out.


Anyway, poor 1st half. Virtually no chances. We need to change things up somehow.

Oh and please for the love of god can we stop trying to play offside in Madrid's half, that's two goals we've conceded because of that.

We have been better, but those first 10 minutes were awful from us. Lethargic and like we were scared they would score.

If we would have started with this level of intensity we would be ahead.

Exactly this. Will never understand why we started like this. Ever.

After their goal we looked good. But we need improvement.

On a separate note, Kyle can't be keeping guys Onside. Come on Kyle! I asked for you, don't be a disappointment :(

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Madrid set up pretty well. Similar to the Arsenal game now where we’re struggling to break them down.

It’s ok starting cautiously but not lethargically.

Feel oddly relaxed about this. We’ve been the better team, I think we’ll get the goal second half. Or not. Can’t expect to win it every year.

It's weird but I'm feeling the same way. Win the PL, everything else is gravy.
