3-3 Amazing game in Madrid
-
What a game in Madrid
-
Wow
-
What a goal from Foden
-
He’s not the force of nature he was last season, just an average striker for a club that has a ton of the ball every match. Have other teams found him out or is he just going through a down period of form?
-
What has happened to Haaland these days?
-
Not ideal as things stand.
-
2 deflected goals for Madrid
-
Now 2-1 down
-
Man City dominating.
-
Man City winning season after season is actually not very good for the business model. If they were rigging the competition they are doing a bad job of it.
-
They are still in a decent position to stay up from here.
-
They have not been desperate saves from Onana. He’s been pretty comfortable.
-
It’s the way they play. Allow shots from distance then attack on the counter.
-
No, Man City would win the league. Like they did when Emery was Arsenal manager.
-
I think he’s a very good player but he’s more a secondary striker than the guy to lead the line.
-
When it happens week after week it stops being luck.
-
We say this every week with United. Clearly the chances they are allowing are not actually as good opportunities as they seem.
-
There must be something in the way Man U defend. They give up a lot of chances but they must be difficult chances that they are giving away. It’s the same story every week, a lot of ‘chances’ but not actually that many goals from them. It can’t just be luck.
-
The crowd doesn’t even sound upset. It’s just expected now.
-
I agree it’s essential to rotate. Usually when you rotate though you try to keep as strong as possible throughout the season. This match seems to have been a case of ‘well some key players are out so bugger it, let’s just take out some more and make this match a rest match’. Again, I don’t necessarily disagree, we were likely to lose anyway.
-
We dropped Bailey as well, he would have started in our best 11 but was brought on late to try and rescue something from the match. We had a few injuries and suspensions so it seems the manager essentially decided it was not going to be worth putting out our best 11 and to write off the fixture instead. I’m not saying I disagree with that decision but I can see arguments both ways. There is a psychological impact of essentially ‘throwing in the towel’ and that is difficult to gage compared with the physical advantage of Bailey, Torres and Tielemans getting to play fewer minutes.

The RJW63 Official Jack Grealish Appreciation Thread

Guardiola’s ‘pep’ talk he other week seems to have done the trick -
They got rid of the one child policy a decade ago but it hasn’t really changed anything. Just like South Korea or Japan (or indeed many western countries) birth rates are below replacement levels.
