Match Day Thread Manchester City FC v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 6th December 2025 - KO 15:00

As you know Man Utd have big problems with tickets being ‘hacked’ which leads to hundreds struggling to get in …

… Man City regularly have away fans in home sections, sometimes in blocks of ten or more.

The better the technology the better the criminals are at replicating it.

We’ll end up going back to paper, I’m sure of it.

 

Yeah I do!

 

Cant help but feel if Mayenda had had the 2 1 on 1 with the goaly Issy had, he would have scored both times.
He has to be given a chance soon.

 

Not at Burnley he didn't. Brian the bulldozer would've scored the second in my humble.

 

He did so well to nick the ball off the defender. Not many players are sharp enough to do that to City defenders when they are last man.

 

I think he might get his chance when the Afcon lads go away but it will be from the right imo. Mundle will be more in contention from the left with Le Fee central.

 

He’ll he so frustrated, not getting a sniff

 

i would like to see isidor or Mundle / Brobbey / and Treore or Mayenda start a home game some time soon. We need goals to win a game or two in the next few games to maintain our momentum and Brobbey in particular needs more support to be effective imo.

 

I personally think we are very effective and have been in every single game bar yesterday.

We got beaten by a very good team, nowt to worry about and certainly doesn't mean we have to change anything imo.

 

This was a comment on fb from a city fan in response to Adrian Durham saying "questions need to asked regarding Sunderlands performance against Man City".

 

Not a bad read that bit I don’t need a city fan to tell me Durham is talking ****e there!

 

I just thought it was a decent comment from an opposition fans point of view.

 

I'm sure Durham has a downer on us to goad some of us to phone in. Might be wrong though. He is a complete prick though.

Post match reaction:

 

It will be interesting to see what Dermot Gallagher has to say on Ref Watch about this tackle.
Maybe Nordi should have rolled over 4 times - like Gvardiol did

 

The city player was definitely going quicker so hit Mukiele with more force. Should be a consideration imo, not just where on the leg the challenge hits.

 

I know mate, was tongue in cheek as mcuh as owt from me. I watched the match and we were decent and 3-0 flattered them. For any pundit to say serious questions need to be asked because we got beat by Man City is ridiculous!

I saw headlines like Man City cruise to victory, I don't think they cruised anywhere. They worked hard for the win and 3-0 wasn't rhe cruise it sounds on just hearing the score!

 

VARs reaction to that and the O'Nein tackle tells you everything. Both were reds imo but one of them imo was a player who was a couple yards slower than tbe opposition player because he has hardly played and in all honesty is likely a bit slower than a lot of Man City players anyway! Still deserves a red but there was no malice or even recklessness in it imo! Then there is this one it is flying uncontrolled at speed really catches Mukilele, luckily is leg isn't planted as he could have injured him and unlike Lukes it isn’t him stretching for a ball without even realising the opposition player has been so fast he has beat him to it! He sees Mukiele and goes for it anyway!

100% dangerous play and should have been a red!

 

I’m not sure I’d agree there. We didn’t do much wrong but Man City were superb, really impressed by them
