Manchester City (H) - 16/08/25 - Build-Up & Match Thread

[Templeton Peck]

Never a 4 nil game but if you're going to gift them 2

 

[prawnking]

Yeah, I’ll not judge the guy on an hours work. On debut. In a new country. Versus one of the worlds very best

Do what you want. People are just giving first impressions on a new signing's competitive debut, isn't this exactly the place for that?

 

[Alan]

A decent keeper and this game is only 2-0 though. Big problem imo

Yeah his positioning on the second and fourth goals is stoned as fuck.

 

[AndyWolves]

0-4 not quite reflective of the performance. Emmanuel needs to get his head right, though, and fucking quick.

Question is, was last season the anomaly or is it this season that's the anomaly. It might explain why no one has bothered with him until we did

Oh it absolutely is gulf in class is evident

 

[Hereford Wolf]

We are bottom but only one win from 5th

 

[prawnking]

Never a 4 nil game

Said every relegated team ever

It’s been totally reflective of the performance. To think otherwise will have us certainties to go down.

 

[MobNet Wolf]

Exactly this.

Tough shit for us really, about six more pressing problems in our squad at this time

 

[Alan]

Er, no. I disagree.

He was always on the edge. May just need to “warm up” or may be one year older and slower, and that might be that for him.

 

[MobNet Wolf]

Er, no. I disagree.

They’ve scored four easy as piss goals and we’ve not worked the keeper. But you go off about us deserving more.

 

[YoungWolf]

O

Tough shit for us really, about six more pressing problems in our squad at this time

kinda, but it’s also a problem I think people are underestimating

 

[Dire Wolf]

Said every relegated team ever

There would be absolutely no one in the footballing world who would be surprised if we were relegated. We are one of the poorest teams in the PL, and it's a question of whether one of the 3 promoted teams can be better than us. I think one will and we will go down. We are shit.

 

[Jinky]

Can we not have a verdict thread full of excuses?

“oh it was city” etc.

We’ve been absolutely humped. The best thing about today was the Jota tribute.

 

[YoungWolf]

xG of 0.4 to 2.3

Oh great seven more minutes

I quite enjoyed the Munetsi offside goal

 

[Dire Wolf]

On the plus side, my Super 6 prediction was 0-4. So that's good.

 

[prawnking]

Gonzalez must have spent about 2/3 of the game rolling round and yelling in pain
