Match Thread | Marseille vs Man City (27/10/20)

Does anyone know why Marseille made a point of not taking the Knee ?.

Dose not reflect well on the Club.

Everybody should be taking the Knee.

No exceptions.

Maybe they wanted to make their own stand over the French teacher who was beheaded by an extremist last week ? Just as important to highlight this as the death of George Floyd.

Much better,but then that doesn't surprise given we have Foden and Torres on the pitch.Gundogan doesn't seem on the same wavelength where fluidity and moving the ball is concerned,should be hooked for a more adventurous and tenacious Bernardo.
Rodri done well sitting back and mopping up.Sterling doing well but his decision making and use of ball could be so much better.

COME ON CITY!!!

The premier league teams are still taking the knee. Some EFL teams are still doing it. QPR were one of the first not to take it and Les Ferdinando said that it was no long get necessary.

I like that interaction between Foden and Torres and Gundo and Torres.

All the Premier League players support it ?

I think it looks bad.

Especially at a time when France is having inter-racial issues.

No idea why some people have a problem with taking the Knee in support of black lives.

Fucking hell,it is not like asking for a Kidney.

Just says i am not a racist fucker,and support all black lives.

Not commenting on this again.

Back on thread.

I think it’s a bit diluted because it’s all an exercise in being seen to do something rather than actually doing something.

also seems a little odd given empty stadium.

premier league were plugging their anti racism campaign at the weekend telling people to report anyone being racist. Well in an empty stadium there’s hardly anyone to report. Timing seemed odd.

No messi at city now then. Barca President left the club!

Seeing how you went off topic, Fabinho (spelling) injured for the Dippers.

 

[remember arthur mann]

impressive pressing so far

For some reason Gundogan and KDB switched sides after the goal and I think Gundogan is just better on the right as well

Gundogan was pretty dynamic in the first half. Certainly a lot less backwards and sideways passing than usual.
