Match Thread | Real Madrid vs Man City (09/04/24)

[Shuffs]

Not just this game , but the amount of times we lose the ball in midfield at the moment is worrying.....dawdling and trying to turn when in no space.

We'll get through this, but need to be smarter.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Who's this Aussie bloke trying to sound like he knows what he's talking about.

That first goal someone in the defensive line needs to come out and challenge when they see Grealish isn’t keeping up with him. The second goal, Akanji is just completely stitched up. What is he doing there.

Both dirty and diving in one.

Bellingham is a massive ****.

Hes Made for the rags later on isn't he!

I think it shows that City have played twice since Madrid last had a game.

It doesn’t at all. It shows we have fuck all control
In a midfield that’s killing us. Rodri Kev and Gundo 12 months ago to Rodri Kovacic and non existent Phil so far and it’s killing us. We need to be so much better.

We are so painful to watch at times. I get we need to be careful of their pace but we are giving it back to them anyway passing it at snails pace. The reluctance to have a crack or pass it quicker is frustrating. They look vulnerable at the back

One of their counteracts came from a blocked Grealish shot in the box. That could have been an equaliser for us.

He really isn’t. He’s moving a lot and making runs in behind, and honestly most strikers would’ve given up even doing that after months of barely any service.

He's had at least 4 1v1 vs Rudiger that if he beats the duel we are left with a very favorable situation. He lost them all. There are moments when you see all our players pressing, and he is barely making an effort, almost to the point of walking.

 

[Damanino]

move quicker, pass quicker, dont hold onto the ball is what can hurt Real here. too much sideways is making Ancelotti happy imo...
Rudiger is tested more by weak shit lower table La liga strikers than vs Haaland so far this is nonsense...

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

This is pretty much the UCL finals. Any team that goes through from here would lift the trophy.

May as well take haaland off seeing as he isn't getting any service

He needs to put himself about and make something happen.
