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

[SWP's back]

Side to side for 2 minutes lose the ball get caught on the counter repeat

Fucking epic isn’t it.

Attack as slowly as possible then lose it.

Not sure how Haaland is supposed to do anything with the service or lack there of tbh

Basic ball control and fending of smaller players would help.

Haaland off Phil false 9 and prey Kev is ok for 2nd half and get Kova off he is noway near this level

This. There is so much space available for us to play but we are not exploiting it. I agree with all your recommendations!

its sloppy and nervous. Only happy playing walking football passing sideways or backwards. Most forward passes are already to marked players who then lose possession and we're wide open to the counter with our back 4 almost all in the final 3rd. Foden not in game with rodri kovacic and bernardo so lethargic. its crying out for the kev/erling 2nd half show

Poor, lazy passes to marked players….

Id take a narrow defeat all day now..sadly you can see 3 or 4 : 1 here .. cant chase the ewualiser. If it comes great but..3 or 4 were fked

We're not built to sit back and defend. I'm not saying go gung ho, but we need to get hold of the ball and not invite them on to us.

 

[super_city_si]

We need a fucking GK.

This story is very tired.

What the fuck is this? You talking about Barcelona?

 

[RayCTID]

If we move the ball quicker we are more likely to be picked off.

 

[wolviedinho]

Two jammy scruffy fucking goal.

Tho we are defending like this match is being played in the local park.

We need to stop this shit or we will be dumped out by real.

We don’t have the players like Dave silva to keep the ball and it’s no surprise we get countered so much.

Feel like every match is Deja vu

 

[Zenmanc]

Everyone pissing and bitching in here (like usual) when we've played poorly but are behind on an OG (unstoppable deflection) and a fortuitous second goal.

Pep will tweak, hopefully peel paint and maybe the refs smack of Erling at the end there will wake him up that maybe he has to do a little more than hold up, hope the ball comes to him whilst staying within 3 yards of a defender who has his number.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Are the team in white spurs by any chance? We usually save our pants shitting for them
