Good ? Get a grip

Yes, a draw is a good result. I'm confident we'll do them at home.

Unreal stadium once it’s finished. It’s understandable any player in world football (Bellingham) fancying some of that.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Yes Ferdinand is a **** but every single one of us would react exactly the same if Madrid had just scored against that lot.

I know what you’re saying but his supposed mate Joleon is sat next to him, a bit of respect needed imho, instead he’s celebrating like a complete fool & trying to sound like he’s commentating on the game, then laughs (he’s a ****) unless Joleon did a knee slide with his bollocks hanging out when Kev scored

 

[lust overlord]

We were loving it the other year when Linekar posted a similar video of him and Ferdinand jumping around celebrating Messi’s free kick to put Barça 3-0 up against Liverpool.



It got a number of posts and a lot of laugher on this site at the time.

We need to stop being so sensitive as a fanbase.

Nowt up with that from Ferdinand, let him celebrate. I’ve done it in Rags faces in the pub before now, looking a right shithouse haha! He’s actually the fairest Rag pundit of the lot when it comes to City, don’t mind him.

Yep.
I'm cool with ferdinand,neville et al wanting us to lose,adds to the fun when we don't.

Rain and in the 50s according to this :-)

I’m pissed and happy and not reading the thread back beyond ten or more posts but if there any blues out there not happy with that performance they are fucking morons.

Yep. Some are there. Thick spoilt twats.

 

[Tokyo32]

really happy with the result, a bit concerned that we weren’t creating enough clear cut open play chances and relied on that de bruyne strike to get us back in the game but players will be getting fatigued about now. all to play for at home

How many open play chances did Madrid create?

 

[The Black Shed]

Carvajal is a cheat. We need to embarrass him next week.

BT producers have turned down the audio on the shithouse blues in the nosebleeds

Wankers was enjoying watching Ferdinand getting serenaded

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Just a quick point on Hallands movement for Kevin's goal: He knew the defender would follow him which opened up the space for Kev to hit it.

Watched on mute and hence no influence from comms or anything.
Thought the ref was fine

Thought the ref was fine? No offence, but how? You think it was fine that Carvajal booted and barged Jack around for the entire first half, embarrassed his own players feigning an injury to try and get Jack punished, and had four official fouls but no yellow card?

Or how about the part where he gave them multiple free kicks throughout the second half for every little nudge? Or when he gave Ilkay a yellow for his one and only foul of the match, which wasn't even close to what Carvajal got away with?

The ref was a fucking joke mate.

Walker a general

 

[DMA's]

Akanji deserves a mention imo. Playing in an unnatural position he once again was excellent. What a shrewd signing

 

[jamesha]

Stones , MOTM by a long long distance , player of the season without a shadow of a doubt, fucking immense.

Eccles is that you???

 

[hello]

Sorry to ask a stupid question, but if Gundo or Bernardo get booked in the return leg would that rule them out of any potential final we may make? Know it used to be the case but not sure if that's still the rules or not.

No only red cards count for final these days

 

[Dribble]

I don't know how to feel about that... Yes, we got a draw but it was a pretty poor showing.

The fact that Pep didn't make a single sub is so bizarre that dare I say it borders cowardice.

Pardon? Mate, we came away from the 14 time & current European Champions with a draw, & a second leg to come at home.

We're only at halftime, & we still control our own destiny & now have home advantage. If it were the other way around, we'd be pissed. However we won the home match, & were winning the return when Real scored three in ten minutes to knock us out.

We've done brilliantly well tonight imo... \0/

 

[WestGorton]

Eithad will suit us better (with it not being a goddamn sweatbox). Home support needs to be intimidating. Sloppiness needs addressing, but again, I put that down to the intense heat.

Agreed

 

[willipp]

Walker a general

Walker was brilliant. You could see the intensity and concentration on his face and he was just outstanding.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I'm still baffled as to why Pep is so reluctant to make subs when he can see players are struggling physically, which I assume was the case tonight. So Mahrez, Foden, Alvarez, Laporte all pencilled in for Everton then?

It’s to do with rhythm and Pep planning out the upcoming games. I think we should have all learnt by now that Pep does this more times than not.
