Otamendi is dense, hope he goes in the summer.

Pep needs to get the lads on shooting practice
We do everything right but don't put the ball away
We could still be playing and wouldn't score
Frustrated as I always want to fuck these fuckers over big time and we didn't score wise

Raheem seems to have accelerated downhill, it's as though he's waiting for the Madrid game so he can perform on the bigger stage

Is he looking at a move

He hasn't accelerated downhill he's just going through a phrase where he can't finish and he's taking too many touches, if that brings you to that notion he's angling for a transfer, well good luck with that.

Sterling is out of form. Sitting on the bench isn’t going to help him. Pep is trying to play him back into form.

It’s not worked for 3 months.

Paperboy on the red card: “An absolute joke. How many times did they foul us?”

Ermm... 11 times. The same as you. Only Matic did about 7 of yours, hence the deserved red card.

Time will tell

Watching the highlights, we had a load of chances and put the ball in the net twice when just offside. Scoring would definitely have changed the rest of the game and the over the top negativity wouldn't be here. The opposition scoring from their first chance and us missing loads of chances, the marginal offsides. Story of the season. That's the difference with Liverpool at the moment, they score and the opposition miss good chances. Is it luck or the players? We create so many goal scoring opportunities and don't put them away.

Well the fans turned up. Shame some of the players didn't.

Yes, we achieved an objective, which was to get to Wembley, but as a one-off game there were lots of things to be annoyed about and criticise.

 

[Fordyboy46]

I wonder if the players have gone against Pep this season. There's no doubt our intensity and tempo has dropped off massively this season, and maybe the players have come together and decided they can't or won't match the last two seasons efforts.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

We battered them, scored twice but narrowly offside and had players refusing to shoot on open goals from 7 yards out.

It was anything but a poor performance.

Poor result? yes of course, losing the game 1-0 but it wasn't a poor performance and over the 2 legs we battered them and are in another final.

I give up, this place is shit if we dont win 5-0 every game.

Over the two legs we deserved to go through, but people are commenting on last night’s game which was 70 mins of nervy shite, 20 mins of good play. It’s an incredible feat to pass last night off as a good performance. It was a game that displayed all of our problems that we need to rectify in the summer. We deserve to be at Wembley but last night was largely poor.

Far more than 20 mins of good play, far more and for many on here the opposition getting the ball on the half way line is nervy and signs we cant defend.

They had 1 meaningful shot on target last night in 90 mins and one half arsed one that even Bravo stopped comfortable.

Nervy or do many need to grow a fucking backbone?
