Match Thread | Manchester City v. Al Hilal (CWC) 01/07/25

[Sleeping_Easy]

How?

Nunes goes off and that side of the pitch looks bereft of ideas in the attacking phase

 

[Gaz76]

Half an hour to get a goal, we simply don't do penalties

 

[gray740]

Fuck this midget ref.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Bizarre this referee

 

[01cravend]

Hahaha this fucking ref, how hasn't he give that foul on Doku.

Think he did give a foul but blew for fulltime

 

[RobinHood]

He finished the half after the foul on Doku. Cheating twat

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Anyone phoned in sick to work yet?

 

[Alexia_Ko]

We aren’t going to move forwards relying on tired players. Pep needs to come to his senses

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Savinho, Bernardo, Haaland off.

Foden, Cherki, Marmoush on.

 

[Coatigan]

You've gotta love the match threads!

I think it has been quite fun. Don't see what all the fuss is about!

 

[pbueno16]

Shame we have Haaland and Reijnders who make good runs through the middle and no one makes the pass for them. It’s not like the players around them aren’t gifted enough to make those passes or can’t see the runs. Just take a risk ffs

 

[york away to this!]

Come on you blue bastards...

 

[I'm Blue]

First half I was loving life.
Second half same shit as last season.
Though when we went behind last season we crumbled.
So a slight improvement : )

 

[Frankie lad]

Remind me not to get excited when we get a corner ever again.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Whoops I think I might have woken my neighbours!! Was shouting for Doku to keep running… go Jeremy, go Jeremy. Quite loudly!! Oh heckle meckle I’m in trouble now I bet.

 

[MCFC1993]

We have learnt from this game that,
Pep hasn’t changed and is still obcessed with the uncles
That the high line is the tactic.
We will not take our chances
We get counted too easy

So we're the better team and should be out of sight.
Playing the best side we've faced so far, who would compete against most European sides.

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Hahaha this fucking ref, how hasn't he give that foul on Doku.

He’s been good on not falling for the play acting but has missed some absolute blatant fouls. Very frustrating.

 

[stonerblue]

Some very tired legs out there on both sides, Phil and Cherki for me to come on

Marmoush

 

[YaYa's Left Peg]

Pep obsessed with the same old shit way of playing. Thought we had turned a corner but how fucking naive of me

Tomorrow at work is going to be a write off
