Match Thread EPL Man City (H) - 8 Feb 2026 16:30

[Markeh]

got what we deserved

 

[Holle]

Here we go.

Our beautiful in game management bites us in our arse yet again.

 

[Farkmaster]

Imagine we played with something resembling this consistently during a game? That's why it's Slot's fault. We'd canter our way to another league title given the state of the teams in the country.

Again, very few teams can play like this much, and only against open teams.

It's our floor.

And there it is.

 

[Mojo]

FFS, hate that cunt Silva

 

[Modo]

And that's what could happens with a midfielder in defence

 

[Hansern]

Piss poor game management. Again

 

[SummerOnions]

Jones on way too late

 

[Holle]

Well I think that surprised none of us

No subs.

Unbelievable.

 

[binomial]

& now he makes the sub, hahahahaha. Just fuck off.

 

[Halmeister]

We are playing City for fucks' sake.

I'm talking about at home to Sunderland and Leeds you meff. And this City team is a shadow of itself. We didn't play for 45 minutes. Imagine we were just a bit better. It's not asking much

 

[Cerberus]

Giving them way too much space around our box. It was inevitable.

 

[Holle]

That's going to be a long five minutes...

And that is relevant in this thread how?

You and many others have made your point very clear in EVERY other thread almost every other day anyway.

 

[Barnie78]

OK. We have time. Go for the second, go for win!!!

 

[Halmeister]

Again, very few teams can play like this much, and only against open teams.

It's our floor.

And there it is.

But we don't have to be as slow and turgid as we consistently are either. Press, move the ball quickly, make the pitch big. We don't do any of that 90% of the time.

 

[binomial]

This isn't staying 1-1.

 

[Farkmaster]

Still no subs at the 82nd minute

The 82nd minute isn't the 82nd minute anymore.

 

[Modo]

No subs.

Unbelievable.

In Arne's defence...our bench is a bit shit

 

[dee]

Tekkers being done means we have no striker

 

[Farkmaster]

In Arne's defence...our bench is a bit shit

It's really shit.

 

[Holle]

In Arne's defence...our bench is a bit shit

How apt.

 

[BishBashBosh]

Yup the 3 points in this game was there for the taking had there not been an invisible first half display and stand off approach post goal. We clearly had the tools to have comprehensively beat these today.

 

[Holle]

It's really shit.

So is he.

 

[Halmeister]

And that is relevant in this thread how?

Everything is perfect. Slot is great. We can't compete with Nico O'Reilly and a 45 year old Bernardo Silva in midfield.

I can play those sort of games too.

We wasted a half being turgid, slow and tepid. We've wasted an entire season playing the same way. It's extremely relevant.

 

[binomial]

Our bench was shit in the cup final 2 seasons ago too. Believe it or not having some form of man managing skills can go a long way.

 

[Modo]

Jesus Christ Salah...

The bench did jack shit

 

[Halmeister]

Lol

 

[SummerOnions]

Fuck off

 

[BishBashBosh]

oh dear.
