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

[Gray]

WE ARE STILL THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.

I may have given up on this game but I’ll never give up on Manchester City.

i never will, but you have to face up to facts we are bloody terrible defensively.

 

[mexico1970]

Now we've cleared out midfield can we clear out the defence.

Just a goalie that can save 50% of anything hit his way would have done, Eddie doesn't seem to get his hands on anything.

 

[jaiguruKun]

We were not going to win it with that defence anyway so at least the players get a bit of a rest now.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Fast on the break and heavy on the dark arts, our kryptonite

 

[blue whippet]

Don't think the players and club are treating it like that.

And not should they, or us being doing.

 

[Heath Park]

Shocker.
How am I supposed to go back to sleep after that?!!

 

[deano ou812]

To lose to that team is nearly the equivalent of losing to a non league side in the FA cup ..

 

[Coatigan]

Game was there to be won in the first half. And the second.

 

[iTyler]

How did you concede 4 goals (and could have been more) to a team that sounds like your local dodgy kebab shop? Absolutely pathetic. Dias, Ake and Ederson need shipping out next.

 

[mind your car Mr?]

Needs it tbh

Don't think it's the players, it's the fuckin shit system of the suicidal high line combined with the walking football up front

 

[blue whippet]

Fast on the break and heavy on the dark arts, our kryptonite

Yeah, still struggle with that.

 

[TonyM]

They were tough opposition. Defended excellently and broke well but our shape was awful, especially once we tired, and we didn't make the most of our attacking options in regular time.

But to be fair thus competition is great. Hopefully we'll return in 4 years after loads of success.

 

[brettplane]

Night all, well morning. That was pointless staying up for, just to throw it away with kamikaze defending again. Nothings changing

 

[Lord Blue]

I miss Stones

 

[come-on-barney]

Unlucky. Now get home, go on holiday and get ready for the season - with £55m in the bank. Not a bad couple of weeks work!

It wasn’t though was it.

 

[york away to this!]

To be fair, they played that pretty well...

 

[BigJoe#1]

Shocker.

very easily.

 

[kanovic]

Hilal always seem to have an extra player on our right side. There's a gaping hole.

They scored off a corner, of one shot from the left where Eddie actually saved it

Koulibaly and Cancelo, among others, do not play non-league. That is frustration talking.

Behave, they have a decent squad and a decent manager
