City Just pass the ball around too quickly. I don't think Modric or kroos are at the races any more. I also think it's evident why they need Bellingham. He'll give them more drive and energy in midfield. (And that's not eng bias) Edited May 17, 2023 by roverandout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The balance of that midfield isn't right, they have some really good athletic midfielders in Valverde who is not suited so deep, Camavinga who is not a left back and Tchouemani who is a sub. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrenbot Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I want City to do the treble now just to piss off all the United fans that have been going on about their 99 team being the only ones to do it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lraC Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I watched the game in a Spanish bar with one of my best Spanish mates. A bit like United in England, Real attract quite a few glory hunters from all over the country. I had a chat with one guy before the game, who despite my best Spanish accent clocked I am English. He along with plenty of others, ended up shell shocked. As I was the only English person in a pretty rammed bar, I felt a bit vulnerable, but to be fair, no problems came about. I guess telling anyone, who would listen, that the best English town team in the world are Blackburn Rovers helped. In the Spanish equivalent of the old Accrington Stanley milk advert quien estan Blackburn Rovers, was said more than once. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipl Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Whatever the dubious practices of the Man City marketing team in hard selling City to Abu Dhabi falconers as their ideal bird lure suppliers, that performance was a thing of beauty. But for Courtois, that would have been a 7 goal humiliation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeeeeeedie Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 City were superb last night. Unstoppable. Real could not cope with the intensity. Kroos and Modric looked their age. I heard a stat on the radio earlier. After 10 minutes City had completed almost 130 passes. Real Madrid had 13. City are strong favourites against Inter Milan, and they should be. I don't think that Inter will do anything other than defend like Italian teams and aim for a goal on the break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inter dicked around for most of the match. Their game plan was clear (to take it to penalties or wear down the opposition). After City took the lead, Inter actually showed they can play, and should have levelled what with City's nervousness kicking in. Inter might have got somewhere in this game and created an epic if they'd done that from the start, but since they chose not to, it was mostly a load of garbage for the neutral.

chaddyrovers Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Well done City. Deserved winners and treble done. It was tactical game and Inter was too defensive for me Stones, Dias and Ederson were City's best players 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inter should have started with Lakaku up front instead of that crock Dzecko. I reckon if the final was played a few weeks ago City would have absolutely battered Inter. Agree about the garbage re the neutral supporter. Total anti climax for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish is so predictable for City when placed out wide on the left. Wasted talent out there.
