There's alot of good sides…" reddit

How these roles work
Blamed (Causer)
Fans named this player as the direct cause of a negative outcome. Examples: "Maguire gave away the penalty", "Ten Hag's formation cost us". Scores are amplified when the causer is blamed clearly.
Sympathy (Victim)
This player was on the receiving end of something — a foul, a bad decision, being dropped, or let down by teammates. Fans feel for them rather than against them.
Credit (Beneficiary)
Fans gave this player clear credit for a positive outcome — a goal, an assist, a key moment. Includes players who enabled something good to happen. This is the co-winner of a match moment.

You think you know better than Pep, do you? Savinho is horrible at pressing has no physicality to his game when on the ball. He would win no duels. And Foden has been on the bench for a reason.

I don’t think people realize how instrumental he is to our pressing. Semenyo is a ball winning monster as a winger. He has room for improvement but I hope people see why Pep loves having him out there even when he’s not scoring

No time left to show that when they showed Bernardo Silva striking Collins and only getting a yellow
This match will be remembered for many different reasons if you're a Brentford fan. Keith Andrews will be wondering, and rightly so, why the hosts still had Bernardo Silva and Matheus Nunes on the field when City should have been down to nine players. Still, Doku had another important performance when it counted; he's been keeping City in the title…
Tremendous applause to our boys for a well-deserved 3 points even though we made it needlessly harder than it needed to be, by doing the same unproductive things, over and over again. We need to introduce speed and an element of surprise to our game in the final third, instead of the awful, slow and ponderous sideways, sideways-backwards passes. Ou…

Fan Narratives
Doku Delivers as City Cruise to Victory
Emerging
Controversial
Nearly a thousand fans are celebrating Jérémy Doku's breakthrough performance as Manchester City demolish Brentford 3-0, with the Belgian winger opening the scoring in the 60th minute and showing the clinical finishing that City supporters have been waiting for all season. The discussion centres on Doku finally fulfilling his potential with a composed right-footed finish, marking a turning point in his development at the club after years of promise without consistent end product.
Foden's Quiet Brilliance Overlooked in City's Rout
Emerging
Controversial
Fans debated Phil Foden's display against Brentford, with many arguing he played well despite not getting on the scoresheet and receiving little media attention compared to goalscorers Doku, Haaland, and Marmoush. The discussion centred on whether Foden's performance represented a genuine return to form—confidence, desire, and chance creation included—or merely a solid but unremarkable contribution overshadowed by his teammates' finishing.
City Fans Celebrate Dominant Win Over Brentford
Manchester City supporters are expressing euphoria over their commanding 3-0 victory, with posts praising the referee's handling of the match and celebrating Guardiola's side's clinical performance. The mood is one of unambiguous celebration, though some rival fans appear frustrated by City's dominance.
Bernardo Silva Escapes Dismissal Against Brentford
Emerging
Manchester City fans and neutrals are debating whether Bernardo Silva should have been sent off rather than cautioned during City's 3-0 win, with many arguing he consistently gets away with physical play that would earn other players harsher punishment. The discussion also questions why Matheus Nunes wasn't dismissed despite picking up a late yellow card alongside multiple other City players.
City's Second-Half Dominance Masks First-Half Struggles
Emerging
Controversial
Manchester City supporters are divided over the 3-0 victory, with some praising the relentless attacking display after the breakthrough, whilst others highlight sloppy defending and individual errors throughout, particularly criticising Rayan Cherki's ball-losing tendencies and lack of composure in possession. The consensus is that whilst the second-half performance was convincing, the overall display revealed defensive vulnerabilities and a need for sharper, more direct football rather than the sideways, ponderous passing that nearly cost City dearly.
City Fans Overshadowed by 115 Charges Backlash
Emerging
Neutral observers and rival supporters are using Manchester City's 3-0 victory over Brentford as a flashpoint to air grievances about the club's ongoing 115 financial charges, with many dismissing the result and labelling the team as cheaters rather than engaging with the actual football. The conversation reflects wider frustration about the uncertainty surrounding the charges' resolution and scepticism about City's sporting legitimacy, despite their dominant on-pitch performance.

"Lmao Liverpool and United fans twerking for City is the most pathetic thing "
All the Arsenal fans crying and shitting their pants in fear in this thread seems more pathetic to me
I see more Arsenal fans moaning, like yourself. You already won the league no? So why are you here
The most pathetic thing is seeing 80% of the comments in anything City-related being desperate Arsenal fans, despite being in a CL final and leading a title race.
Says a lot about how annoying your fanbase is, that people would rather 'twerk' for 130 FC instead of you.
↳
Ding ding ding. The rapist loving fraud manager doesn’t help either

You best not moan about City’s charges then.
Imagine the default answer every time is complaining about fanbases.
It’s probably to do with the fact that you genuinely think teams lie down against city and it’s nothing to do with city’s football ability,
↳
It's not a question about the players, but the fans lmao. Just look up city pool

It’s banter mate ffs you’re always looking for conspiracies you buggers.

I don’t think that at all, actually, quite aware that City are good at football

"Doku entering he's prime at the right time 🩵🩵🩵"
Yeah absolutely and he played so well against Everton too scored 2 goals and set up 1 think. Too bad our defense had a nightmare game including Donnarumma. 😭 If only we somehow won that game.
Man has always been good, happy he his perfecting his goal scoring
Sorry you meant wrong time, cuz the league is won mate. We are preparing for the parade. Even if we lose tomorrow you will still not win this league with this defense, you are lucky not to concede goal today just because of Thiago’s mistake who chose to shot instead of pass
Not the right time when you needed two more wins to win the league
@samimt77 Did you forget we scored 3 so Thiago scoring one wouldn't have changed the outcome. And we will see how that parade works out for you at the end of the season. Is Arsenal favourite? Sure. But we aren't out of it *yet* .
@pratikroy227Even if we lose tomorrow you would really struggle winning against Bournemouth Nd Villa who are top teams compared to Burnley and Palace. After tomorrow if we win it’s done and dusted
That's exactly what you people said about us struggling with Brentford but we won city forever❤❤@samimt77
@samimt77 We will see about that how we do against Villa and Bournemouth. We have beaten them when it mattered before we will if we have to. But if you think you can just lose a game and it will be okay you will regret it.
@samimt77oh enough we don't want problems
@psytaurusyou dont need 2 more wins, you need to win all your game, City is still in the title run
