You shouldn't need to put a tin hat on mate. Anyone without their blue tinted specs on should be able to see that Ederson is no better at shot stopping than Claudio Bravo. He's only there to play sweeper and kick the ball a long way every now and then.
Yeah that’s just not at all true. Ederson is leagues apart from Bravo in the shot stopping department.You shouldn't need to put a tin hat on mate. Anyone without their blue tinted specs on should be able to see that Ederson is no better at shot stopping than Claudio Bravo. He's only there to play sweeper and kick the ball a long way every now and then.
Ridiculous post. Goals against 21 . Your welcome.You shouldn't need to put a tin hat on mate.

Come on then, let’s see the screen grab??It’s like the final last year.
I, and many others knew the game was over as soon as the team sheet came out.
Just like the other night, knew it was over as soon as they started peppering our goal at 89 mins. I said to my mrs in front of the telly and to my mates on a group chat “we’re losing this game”.
But that’s not a leadership thing. It’s down to an experienced player doing the wrong thing in a situation that he will have been in numerous times before. Sometimes we have to accept the players make mistakes and that’s not down to the manager or leaders.Which is why we needed someone to take the heat out of the situation. Booting it back to them only invited more pressure on. As well as Jack did when he came on and I know he's not a defender but could he have done more to stop the cross coming in for their second?
It's gone now anyway ( thankfully it wasn't the Final) , I often wonder do the players get as annoyed as the fans after something like this happens, I suppose Sunday will tell us more
Thanks for letting us all know!!!Had to put Lavinda on ignore. His posts were making the forum unbearable.
Cue mock offence and the old cancel culture move.Had to put Lavinda on ignore. His posts were making the forum unbearable.
Cancelo is just not good defensively...there's really nothing to debate...on the first Real goal he breaks the line for no obvious reason even though he is facing Dias, Laporte, etc. and keeps Benzema on after the attacker had left much too soon...a simple rule of thumb is that if you break your defensive line to keep an attacker on you better be sure you track and mark the runner...Cancelo did neither...he kept Benzema on then floated about aimlessly and casually...inexcusable at any level, but in a CL semi final, criminal...took the same casual approach he took against Kulusevski in Spurs game that led to Kane's header...an excellent attacking fullback but has no business being on the pitch in big shutdown moments...But if you look at how we have conceded crucial goals, they often come down our right. Think Chelsea in CL final, United when they broke and Fat Shaw scored, Spurs this season at Etihad and Madrid 2nd at Etihad-all pretty similar.
Has a whiff of Pigenho that one.Had to put Lavinda on ignore. His posts were making the forum unbearable.
Eddie is an average shot stopper at best and not the best decision maker...hopeless on pens...You shouldn't need to put a tin hat on mate. Anyone without their blue tinted specs on should be able to see that Ederson is no better at shot stopping than Claudio Bravo. He's only there to play sweeper and kick the ball a long way every now and then.
We've made it difficult for ourselves though, hence the typical City comments.Despite that we have been outstanding again this year and if we go on to hold on for the league I’d absolutely consider this another great season.
I trust Pep/Txiki/Ferran to do the business once again this summer in terms of getting the correct personnel in

You could have said that about RM after 89 minutes, no shots on goal ?, but any team fights to the end as we have shown in the past, those last 15 minutes of extra time were horrendous and the officials allowed it to happen, their actions were questionable only allowing 5 minutes and 35 seconds of play is ridiculous, as we saw when KDB and Phil being dragged down by his shirt by the same player, and no booking, when he should have been been booked on the first foul. The officiating throughout this competition has to be questioned, its not right.Oh come on. We were home and hosed but for Cancelo and Ederson.
We could have played another hour with what was left on the field and we weren't scoring.
No leadership on or off the field at that stage
Sure the officials were shite but they are not the reason we imploded.
2 goal lead with 89 mins on the clock.
Just let that sink in for a minute.
He's alright defensively at left-back imo, but at right-back he always concerns me. Ever since he got sent off against Brighton last season, and probably even before that. It's like the change of angle confuses him and he doesn't know which way to point. Really good player, wouldn't ever get rid of him because of what he brings, and is well in the argument for being the best LB in the league this season, but I hope we sign a right-back this summer so that he never has to replace Walker again.Cancelo is just not good defensively...there's really nothing to debate...on the first Real goal he breaks the line for no obvious reason even though he is facing Dias, Laporte, etc. and keeps Benzema on after the attacker had left much too soon...a simple rule of thumb is that if you break your defensive line to keep an attacker on you better be sure you track and mark the runner...Cancelo did neither...he kept Benzema on then floated about aimlessly and casually...inexcusable at any level, but in a CL semi final, criminal...took the same casual approach he took against Kulusevski in Spurs game that led to Kane's header...an excellent attacking fullback but has no business being on the pitch in big shutdown moments...
