Real Madrid (A) Post Match Thread

Did really well in the CL but fucked the game management up in the last ten mins.

Let's not overreact. Im embarrassed as anyone but we played a really good game over 2 legs other than that.

Not sure Sterling has a future with us anymore or that he was ever really good enough. We've been short on the wing since Sane left.

Need 2 strikers not 1 and need a replacement for Dino.
We're good other than that.

Let's hope we can go on and win the league now.

I agree with most of your post but the Raz blame is bizarre.. blaming Sterling for not turning the tie back in our favour after we mismanaged a given is wholeheartedly unfair. He wasn’t even on the pitch when we blew it.

It’s not just this game though, it doesn’t cope with pressure and never really has. Also, Eddy is starting to cause concern.

Eddy for me has been a concern. I have voiced to many. He rarely saves much really..good at chipping to a full back..hes not commanding...looks nervous at crosses. 1 v 1 's ill stop there. Love a non goalie union fella to tell me different.. what he has got..balls of steel and determination that drive to be a 1st team goalie..amazing
 
When were actually not that good,we will win this cup,coz thats how it seems to go,best teams never actually win it ,well more than not
 
This just hurts. Somehow more than the final last year.


Reffing was awful. But we put ourselves in a position to have to complain about that. Refs didn't score 2 soft goals in stoppage time, or concede 3 at home.

Defence just sold us late in the game. They were perfect for so long and it just collapsed at the death.

I'm not singling out anyone or blaming anyone in particular because it's easy to overreact in the face of something like this but wow this sucks

Lastly, shoutout to Jack Grealish, playing possessed from when he came on. He looked like he was prepared to die, and a goal line clearance is the difference between this result and him becoming an overnight hero.




I've said this before and I truly mean it. No matter how much UCL failures hurt (and fuck, they really hurt) this is bonus territory for me because we were never supposed to be here. And im never going to demand sweeping changes as a result of it. We are still favourites for the league and we likely have Haaland coming in next season.

It's a knockout tournament, shit happens. I wish there was a better explanation, but there is no correlation with our UCL exits. We just find new and exciting ways to fuck up.

CTID. And they're definitely trying to kill me

Do you not think the lack of concentration and game management was a team effort?

Of course it is a contributing factor, but we’ve got a defence that regularly buckles when it is put under pressure. For the money spent it should be rock solid and it is definitely not!

Pep is so far from fucked it’s untrue. He had us set up to win it and we almost did. We outplayed them at home missed so many chances and gave away 2 awful goals. Not on Pep. Away from home we were leading 5-3 in the 90th minute and we had the biggest meltdown since Birmingham away in 1998. Players let themselves down, not Pep.

This will hurt Pep as he played it right but our players forgot to play for 7 minutes.

I didn't say it's on Pep, I said he was fucked!

Haaland and Alvarez are a start. If we want to win the big one and see out the league more easily we could do a lot worse than offer united 30m for Ronaldo and give him Whatever wages he wants for two or three years. The best player of the last 30 years was lined up for us in the summer and we turned him down. Criminal

Don't think I can agree with you there now, sorry. We do need more than one striker though. In future when scouting players our first question should be @ can they shoot on target?' whatever position we are going for. Too many outfield players hit the second or third tier when it seems impossible to do so.

That was peak Joe he faded badly at the end. Were stuck with Eddie unfortunately. I'd even say De Gea in nets we don't lose that game.

100%. I struggle to name a game Ederson has won for us with saves. I can name about ten this season de Gea has for them

He’s not good enough at stopping shots. Simple.

As much as we cry out for a striker, people should be conscious of the reduction of chances we create, hopefully a clinical striker negates that, but make no mistake, less dominance is inevitable in terms of creative opportunities..

Not necessarily. We created just as much with Aguero leading the line. Actually I feel like we created MORE than we do now in the Sane-Aguero-Sterling days, it was relentless. Also, quite often our false 9 is not in the game, neither as a creator nor a finisher. There’d also be a load of chances created with a striker that weren’t possible without one.
