Hopefully my blood pressure will be better now I’ve changed to a foreign channel.

Anyone who thinks he should save that give your head a wobble.

Courtois would have I reckon.

1-0 not too bad, 2-0 would be terrible 1-1 would be brilliant.

If they get a second and we don’t score the tie is done for me they are masters at shithousing through games they’ll do everything to snuff us out at the Etihad..

The replies to that…. Typical scousers

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Ok lads keep your composure and don’t fall for their shithousery. We’ve still got 90 minutes back home

Also it's tragic the LB/Ake situation. We're refusing to buildup down the left because of a lack of a left-footer. fuck man.

I have never seen this clown score from outside penalty area. It speaks volumes..

 

[wolviedinho]

We had 2/3 good chances and couldn’t score. Need to chance that second half.

 

[Zenmanc]

We've played well. I'm not disputing that. When the ref let's them do what they want all game, what is the point?

Hope we overcome?

 

[NatalieM008]

The ball was going like a rocket, he never had a chance.

I agree. For once Ederson is not (too) guilty.

 

[I'm Blue]

COME ON CITY!!!
Feed the viking and he will score

 

[blue whippet]

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.

You are partially right, the ref isn't the reason we are losing but he is crap. Carvajhal is lucky to be on the pitch.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Fuck off bellend.

No need for that rag.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Great post. I'm also worried that Jack will 'bite' and then receive a red.

Yeah, I understand it, he gets absolutely pelted every match, with very little protection.

But hitting out is exactly what the opposition want, don’t give them it.

 

[Mr HJ]

No surprise that the BT panel don't even mention the fact that this so called "professional champion team" get away with murder. The ref was all pally pally with Real before the game and is refusing to book them allowing about 4 or 5 bad fouls first. He had no option with Kroos that was hip high - You watch he will book one of us if they dare commit a foul in the second half.

As for our performance - away in Madrid it's been pretty good Courtois making one or two great saves again. We just need to keep going, stop them on the break earlier using their tactics of professional fouling and if we come away with only one goal down we are capable of beating them at home. Composure and belief - we can do this.

As for BT they are creaming themselves over Madrid - Christ on a bike, support an English team is it that hard?

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

What is up with Jack of late? Getting involved in silly skirmishes

 

[Blu1]

Just like Utd & spurs games this. They suck us in that we forget what to do with the ball. I’m really surprised we haven’t hit haaland much more & gone direct.

We are much the better team but tactics not helping us here. Need foden driving at them not Bernie going sideways tonight

 

[Heath Park]

Shocking refereeing.
Fix is in.

 

[Radagast]

Pep setup to hustle Madrid with Bernardo, Gundo n Rodri, they set back let us pass around, maybe Mahrez or Foden for second half, Alvarez for Haaland?!
