Match Thread | Real Madrid vs Man City (09/05/23)

Need to get KDB in the game and that will unlock Haaland. Started well but ran out of steam a bit but no need to panic though we can do this!

 

[kashmir]

Tbh all our shots were well saved, they had one chance against the run of play and it was a great finish just been mega unlucky with the goal.

We say that nearly every match

 

[TinFoilHat]

Wouldn't bother me if we lose this by the odd goal as we'll batter them at ours.

 

[yankblue]

Not a chance they have been better

Agree to disagree

 

[geoff hammond]

What, smashing you into the advertising hoardings? If he did that to me, I'd have actually fucking broken the little twat's arm!

And we’d be down to 10 men

 

[City10.]

Done well to pass the ball around but we need to take more risks in the final 3rd. Keeping and passing the ball is only gonna take you so far if you don’t take any risks in the final 3rd

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

I hate how we always blame the ref. It's not the ref.

it's that we don't take our chances and we play at 1mph against a fast counter attacking team.

I mean, it's both

 

[Gogootz]

Going to be so much sweeter when we knock these tarts out

 

[RayCTID]

Shows our lack of the dark arts which is needed to win the CL. Should have taken a yellow at the start of their break for the goal

I agree with you but the way we were offciated we could easily be down to 10

 

[roy.or.r]

Seems Carlo has Pep’s number in CL knockouts.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Time to up the gears in the 2nd half. We always do

 

[SidJames]

Grealish should be busting a bollock to get on the end of that. Not tamely jogging in

He has improved drastically this Season.

Still I think he fails to deliver much in big games.

he literally stands on the touchline.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

I don't rate them at all, they've had one freak goal and that's it.

That's the thing about them. They know how to get two or more freak goals in a match.

We would have got a red for that at this stadium. It’s not a level playing field.

 

[BLUEisville]

Don't think too much change is needed, we're playing well. Need a bit more from KDB and Haaland. Need to ref to protect our players a bit more. Need a bit of luck.

And we can't concede, don't fancy making up a 2 goal deficit.

If the team leaves with a 1-1 or even a 1-0 on the back of this performance I think we're in good shape.

 

[phargrave]

I am wondering if Ederson could/should have saved that goal.

Or tried…..

 

[hertsblue]

I am wondering if Ederson could/should have saved that goal.

Yep, think their keeper saves that, it was very close to him, great strike but good height for a keeper and no where near the corner of the net

 

[Wellsblue21]

Alvarez for Bernardo for me

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Big second half here. Madrid are going to spend most of it rolling around and giving away snide free kicks and trying to get a rise out of us whilst praying for another counter attack.

We have to be wise to it, absolutely not concede another and take them back to the Etihad at the most a goal down but at the very least level.

Absolutely this. We cannot concede another. 2-0 and it’s a big ask.

 

[hilts]

We've been fantastic first half you melt

Fantastic is a tad over the top fella. We have kept the ball well and a couple of shots from outside the box. Pretty good away in Madrid but fantastic at 1 0 not really.
