Match Thread | Real Madrid vs Man City (09/05/23)

We're miles better than them and just haven't attacked at full tilt for whatever reason. KDB and Bernardo MIA, Haaland not in the game.

We have better players. We weren't miles better.

We spent most of the time passing around in non-dangerous positions. And they didn't bother wasting their energy chasing us. They conserved their energy for quick strike moments. So far, I'd saying they've won the battle of ideas.

A very very solid performance to be honest. KDB and Bernardo need to up their game. Moment of absolute magic for the goal

This.
Get Kev on the ball.
They are allowing the likes of Dias or Walker to carry the ball and marking our creators out of the game.

 

[WestGorton]

Not worried, we will twat these at the Etihad.

I think a one goal defeat is ok to be honest. But two...

 

[MadchesterCity]

Was Casemiro with freedom to foul last semi, it's every fucker this year

 

[Blue warrior]

Just hope we don’t royally fuck this up and lose our heads and end up getting pumped.

 

[jimharri]

1-0 is certainly not irretrievable next week. On that basis, I'd settle for that now.

 

[pride in battle]

There was one point where gundo passed it back twice for no reason when he could have gone forward that summed that first half up

We've been fantastic first half you melt

 

[SidJames]

Keep the faith Blues.

We have lost a bit of our composure after having shit kicked out of us.

Hopefully Pep will use this to motivate them.

Only 1 -0 down to a Worldy.

Remember if this stays like this, these bastards still have to come to our place and away goals no longer count.

I think we could do with Foden energy.

 

[Worsleyweb]

We were terrible. Walking football. Exactly what they want us to do. The ref was terrible. Call me a fanny wipe all you fucking want but thats how I saw it. Hopefully an improvement in tempo and intent in the 2nd half.

Fanny wipe talking shite

 

[Blue Maverick]

Ancelotti is no fool. He knows that Camavinga has the ability and pace to nick it and carry it at a pace neither Bernardo nor Mahrez can match. We just have to be careful that we don’t get caught with too many ahead of the ball in that area again.

Not played badly, but even if the scoreline remains the same tonight, it’s important we keep our discipline and just stay in it.

That’s why I’d put Phil there he’s faster than he looks
