***Madrid v City CL Official Match Thread***

[Nickyboy]

Get Savinho off for Cherki.

Id even Chuck on Foden too.

We can get 2 this half and give us something to fight for next week.

[Harry Dowd scored]

15 years two CL wins with Bayern & City, we can see why now can’t we, fucking fraud

[CTID Hants]

Just shows how bad we are, all this shit about 2nd in the league cup finalists we are fucking shite are we Tottenham in disguise

We're not in relegation battle..... not saying its great by any means but suggesting we are yids is ridiculous

[aaron bond]

One of those games where we knew what would happen as soon as the line-up was announced.

Completely changed the defence, lost O’Reilly from centre midfield, playing Semenyo in the middle where he’s not been playing for us and Savinho…

Another addition to Pep’s collection of CL fuck-ups.

This is a poor Real Madrid team, yet we’re even worse.

[zabbadabbado]

No idea what is going on with Haaland being treated like a celebrity fucks of to Disney Land before an important Pre Game. Gets more time off with a Cup game.

Plays like a drunk looking for his Keys in the Penalty area.

Like he feels inconvenienced by having to play a game.

Honestly i would leave him in Madrid we play better with 11 players than 10.

We never have any continuity because Pep rotates the shit out of the side continuously and has them all playing keep Ball in unfamiliar positions.

Can't help thinking playing the guy at left back who's been playing there for weeks might have helped. O'Reilly still in midfield mode

A midfielder at LB, a CB at RB, a.....whatever Savio is, at RW.

O'Reilly is currently England's first choice left back. It's not an issue picking him there. He's played there the majority of this season and is probably a shoe in for premier league team of the year

Not at this fuckin rate. Didn't you see the 1st two goals?

Point being, can't blame the manager for picking him at LB. He's been great all season

Has he?

I want people to see this, he doesn't track wingers and he doesn't stop crosses...EVER. What he has done well this season is not a LB job and just because he lines up there before kickoff does not mean he plays there, as evident from tonight's match.

He needs to play as a central midfielder and bring a defender on.

And for the love of god, sit Savio's ass down.

Play better football without Haaland

Haaland saw his manager fuck off to Barcelona and miss our press conference because of it, so he could talk bullshit on shit he doesn't know about. Haaland probably saw that and thought 'why not?'

The fact the club is letting Pep and Haaland do this is amateur

[sheblue]

Worst half of football since Alan Balls days.
Disgusting.

He is the very definition of a cheque book manager. And even then it is hit and miss. We should have won 3 Champions League minimum during his time as Manager. That side he picked Lyon i think when he had all our star players on the Bench thinking of the next round. The fuck up in the Chelsea final. Plus throwing away healthy leads in other last 16 rounds.

[PeterParker]

This is on the tactics, boys.
And saying the opposition is better.

I can’t blame a soul on the pitch today.
All on the manager and his experiments.

[branny]

Reijnders

[Kippax Sean]

The team as a whole have a shit attitude. Poor character and lack of respect for the fans. Should be busting a gut not prancing around. One or two exceptions but the attitude of modern players is disgusting.

[PeterParker]

Get ready boys.
This halfs side to side passing will be spectacular.

[zabbadabbado]

Semenyp being wasted by the genius who has decided to play him on the wing these days.

Despite signing him based on his exploits coming from central.

Would be better taking off Haaland playing Semenyo as a False 9 bring on Cherki.

[branny]

Have we actually had a corner where they've not been given a free kick yet?

[gaudy]

Reijnders on......cant wait to see him smiling when he balloons a shot 8 feet wide

[PeterParker]

bring on Cherki.

No chance pal. Read he did some dirty rabonas the other day in training.

[zabbadabbado]

This game needs Ake
