Match Thread | UR Diamonds vs Man City (19/12/23 @ 6pm)

Not exactly a vintage performance, but we're leading and that's all that really matters. The pitch and their tactics aren't helping, but we'll need to play better against Fluminense if we're to win the competition.

I know I’m hoping for way too much… but the fact commentators pronounce Nunes name like Scouse Núñez really tilts me.

It’s really not even close to correct. For one it’s a different fucking language.

They obviously thought the Woy playbook was the way to go but it’s fucking dull as fuck, I wish Pep would just allow a full back to bomb on from time to time on the overlap if just to break up the monotony of it all.

I get it why he doesn't do that because City's opponents score on 98% of their shots on goal.

Nunes runs at the defence. Positive player.

Yep, liked him today so far. Trying to make things happen all the time.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

I use more energy going for a piss than Jack in 90 minutes

How many treble winners medals do you get for that?

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Kovacic off for Bobb please Pep. This kind of game just doesn't suit his strengths.

 

[Blue Mist]

That goal was straight from the training ground, well worked.

 

[bluemoon32]

Get buzzer on, inject some pace into our game

 

[deano ou812]

Great to get the goal but let’s not kid ourselves, Urawa are fucking terrible and we are not much better.

From a quality of football standpoint this is so dire to watch. There is zero jeopardy in our play these days. Wingers who can’t/wont beat a man. Full backs that can only pass back to centre backs. Our most progressive player is our CDM. It’s a fucking snoozefest almost every week.

Fans want KDB and Haaland back to fire us to another title. I just want them back just to make us watchable again.

It’s all to safe from the wingers and lack of ideas or energy,compare that too the days of sane and sterling on the wings rapid as fuck or even the young lad Hamilton ..

Kovacic was useless, just take him off and put Alvarez in then.
