Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Bournemouth (02/11/25)

[deano ou812]

Well on close replay there's the arm hooked around Donna's arm for the pull to put him off balance .

He let go but still it’s a foul regardless should have been ruled out,it absolutely would have if it was us scoring it ..

 

[phargrave]

We always start great in the second half don’t we?

Now you’ve done it….

 

[1961_vintage]

12 players on the pitch??

Well if it's OK for Bournemouth?

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Thought we were brilliant. Fuck taylor

 

[Sky Blue]

He fucking hates us. But he's also very clever with it.

Not hiding his hate very well today.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

As many have said, best we've played for a while. Nice to see.

In other news, Taylor is an absolute fucking wanker and a disgrace.

Bournemouth players are big fans of him

 

[Blue Mist]

I like this Taylor that Bournemouth have got, perhaps sign him 9n January ?

 

[lonestay]

He let go but still it’s a foul regardless should have been ruled out,it absolutely would have if it was us scoring it ..

Definitely

 

[super_city_si]

Who do you leave out to have Gonzales and Rodri on the pitch together?

Bernardo.

 

[youngbob]

Gonna need to see Taylor's decisions on TV before deciding what kind of game he's had.

Anyway, we're playing well. Dangerous in different ways, atmosphere is up and the players are responding.

But I'm a bit surprised at how poor Bournemouth's back line has been. Hope we don't rue those missed 1-on-1s.

Expect Iraola will change his approach in the second half. Think they've left themselves very vulnerable against Haaland.

From us I think we just need to keep this tempo up and pull the game away from Bournemouth before they adjust.

Enjoying the game :0)

Keep up the intensity

Come on City

Looking forward to the 2nd Half

The pundits saying players aren't holding for long enough for it to be a foul does my head in, you can tell none of them ever read the rules, it's either a hold or it isn't, not a hold of more than x seconds

I'm going to say sorry to Donna, he was fouled, only due to him being 7ft tall did he even get a hand on it

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

It didn't come naturally.
You have to practice long and hard to reach that level of bias / corruption.

Truth is always the best .

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Hope the pundits rip Taylor a new one after this, plenty of noise made in the stadium about him. More songs about him than City almost!!!!!

Will they fuck.
They will tow the line for this farce of a league

 

[Beanhead]

Taylor will be our big problem 2nd half he’s in the mood to change the tide of this.

 

[roy.or.r]

Any streams?? Thanks

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Yeah pretty much posted at the same time.

It's just working, dont really need the wide lads, just put 3 technical players in behind and close to Haaland.

We’d need to see how it works against the low block, but Cherki seems the perfect player for those.

 

[malg]

We always start great in the second half don’t we?

 

[jimharri]

Excellent 1st half.....nico and Dias were amazing. Doku and haaland being a nuisance....I think cherki with 2 assists has been hidden weapon.

Well done all around, cherries are not 2nd by chance....they are a great squad.

They have an excellent manager. I'd love to see them get a CL spot. Not sure they will, though. As the season grinds o, you'd expect the usual suspects to get their acts together.

Cmon City!
