Boro v Cov currently 0-0. Can't decide who I want to go through.

City 1 0 up against Real . Hope City win

Sproggy · Post by **Sproggy** » Wed May 17, 2023 8:26 pm

Madrid have been awful so far. Could be over at half time if they don't improve quickly.

City have been unplayable and brilliant so far

I’ll stay off as I’m recording Boro v Coventry.
City fabulous so far.

McNally having a good game for Cov.

City been breathtakingly good.

Makes our performance at the Etihad look even better tbh

They were in their stride when we played them… gives me even more optimism for next season

Sproggy · Post by **Sproggy** » Wed May 17, 2023 8:30 pm

Madrid not pressing, City have as much time and space as they want. When Madrid do get the ball back they're struggling to string 2 passes together. Modric looks like he's playing with his eyes closed.

Watching this makes me nostalgic for fixtures against the likes of Wigan Athletic.

Always looks impressive when I've seen him play for Coventry.

Bernardo Silva has been like a man possessed so far. Some player.

Tony Close.

Kroos can put his foot through a ball!

2 nil City.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Wed May 17, 2023 8:39 pm

Bernardo Silva is absolutely everywhere.

Winstonswhite · Post by **Winstonswhite** » Wed May 17, 2023 8:39 pm

Such a good header that

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Wed May 17, 2023 8:48 pm

That’s probably the most dominant half of football in such a big game I’ve ever seen.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Wed May 17, 2023 8:50 pm

City absolutely different level

Just so so good that half

Watching this game with McManaman on comms is like strolling around the Uffizi with Rammstein playing through your Beats.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Wed May 17, 2023 8:51 pm

What a first half display from Man City. Madrid can’t get hold of the ball to try and get it forward. City could be four nil up already.....and some people say they find their “tippy tappy” football boring.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Wed May 17, 2023 8:51 pm

City are pretty good

Sproggy · Post by **Sproggy** » Wed May 17, 2023 8:51 pm

About as one sided a game as you're likely to see.

Madrid all over the place. No energy, no press, no movement, disorganized at the back and unable to string 2 passes together...yet still trying to play it around at the back and getting overrun.

City just the opposite. Probably the easiest 45 minutes they've had all season. Someone needs to remind Ancelotti that he's not at Everton any more.

It's boring when they mess about with it at the back. When they play attacking like they are tonight it's good to watch.

Carwin261 · Post by **Carwin261** » Wed May 17, 2023 8:53 pm

Watching both games at once,think McNally is ready to play back up to our centre halves,if we let him go I reckon we might regret it in the long run,or if Coventry go up charge them an arm ,and a leg,because if they do they’res no chance we get their centre forward.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Wed May 17, 2023 8:58 pm

you saw last week that City were no where near the pace they could play at because of the roof and heat in Madrid, I knew they would be better tonight but **** me that first 45 was an insane level, Madrid couldn't breathe. Still 45 to go though and if any team on planet earth can turn that around it's Madrid

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Wed May 17, 2023 9:02 pm

I know they haven't won the big one yet but that has to be one of the best club sides ever assembled.

They absolutely blow past teams and can do it in any which way they desire - big and strong at the back, dominant & skilfull in midfield and absolutely lethal up top

gsyclaret · Post by **gsyclaret** » Wed May 17, 2023 9:12 pm

De Bruyne seems to have the touch of an elephant tonight every pass is over hit

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Wed May 17, 2023 9:18 pm

Coventry take the lead, fully deserved.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Wed May 17, 2023 9:19 pm

Cov or Luton in the PL would be good for us

That’d be the ideal scenario, Coventry or Luton coming up.

Sproggy · Post by **Sproggy** » Wed May 17, 2023 9:20 pm

Modric subbed on 63 minutes. About 60 minutes late

distortiondave · Post by **distortiondave** » Wed May 17, 2023 9:22 pm

Seems like a silly question but you never know - does a red card in the play off 2nd leg mean a ban from the final?

It would do, surely? Unless they appeal and it’s delayed.

Only if the team who’s player gets sent off wins the tie.

Appeals don’t get delayed these days, dealt with very quickly.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Wed May 17, 2023 9:38 pm

Would be great to have a big rival like Coventry in the PL with us next season.

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Wed May 17, 2023 9:38 pm

The Boro goal machine seems to have dried up, just at the wrong time.

Only won two of their last eight league games too.

Would McNally get 2 promotion bonuses I wonder if Cov go up? I think he looks good and this loan has been fantastic for him.

Has the linesman gone home? The ball was way over the line for a goal kick and nothing given.
