I won't miss that Camavinga in the 2nd leg. Proper dirty twat.

Is he out? Thought it was Tchouameni who's now suspended?

 

[paulsimpson]

I thought they looked like we'd tired them out. Fresh legs saved them.

By the time we had scored our 2nd I thought the puff had gone a little bit from them. They put a lot into the first 60 mins and we were generally on top from there. It had to be a special volley from Valverde to draw level. Pep has said post match " what can you do?" about that goal . He's quite pleased with the result and our mentality as we showed resilience and didn't panic whereas 3 -4 years ago our minds would have not coped with the way a game can change

I think with Haaland even when he's not at his best he occupies both centre backs which creates space for everyone else. Yeah he could have been stronger today but I think his goal record for us surely gives him a bit of slack. To me it seems like centre backs are given a free pass to wrestle/ kick or whatever they want just because of the size of him.

Rudiger, one of the best defenders and most horrible cunts in world football spent his full 90
Minutes fully on Haaland. We then scored three goals away from home, imagine that?????

 

[dublin-blue]

Can I just point out how good the referee was the whole game.
Will he ref the second leg does anyone know? He let the game flow and took no crap the players.

Great result for us today especially after a shakey first half. Happy with that.

We'd win the league at a canter if we we're reffed like that on the regular. Excellent job for both teams

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but shoutout to the referee. What a performance.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

One thing I do like with our change of play this season is that we have started shooting from outside the box more often.

 

[madloaf]

What really sums Bellingham up is he turned down playing for the best team in the world where he would have worked with the best ever manger who would have improved him and then he might have become as good as he thinks he is Sadly for him he never will be. Anceloti is a good manger but not in the same class as Pep when it comes to coaching players

We probably need to be steady on the Bellingham is shit chat until after next week less the jinx hits hard.

He's a nice footballer - but he seems like a right moany fucking diving ****.

It's lovely to be reffed without someone with an agenda and an earpiece direct to the liver building.

Nearly said it during the game but didn’t want to jinx it : )

 

[the blue panther]

That Bellingham lad - he looked better when he was 17.
First time this season he's had to play against the big boys and he did fuck all except dive and whinge.
Is he Spanish now?

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Bellingham was fucking awful.

They will work all week to get something out of him wouldn’t be surprised to see that Joselu start next week too

 

[cleavers]

Maybe just go to bed mate, lol.

Good counter argument that, it's my analysis of what I watched.

tnt were praising it all, but they were virtually cheering the madrid goals (as per usual when they have City on), they love a good game for the nuetral, ie chaos, especially if it's City.

As I said, I see it as a great result, but it wasn't a great performance, and had they had their shooting boots at top drawer, we could easily be out now, luckily they weren't, and some of ours was.

They got 2 fortunate goals no doubt, but on our side I thought Kovacic (who I like) was pretty poor in the role he had, and he left Rodri too much work. Foden was poor in the first half, certainly better in the second. Haaland I thought was poor all night, he just doesn't work hard enough in some of the bigger games (ignore what mcpointy was saying - he was just spouting shit all night).

We (fans) shouldn't expect to go there and have total control, or expect to win (and I didn't), but we're a better "team" than we were tonight imho. Just thought that we gave the ball away far too often in dangerous spots, control is being able to keep it, even under pressure, even against the best players.

 

[Frank the Yank]

After the superb start the first half was sub par. Too many give aways resulting in chances for Madrid.

Much better second half where we controlled the tempo of the game but Madrid still very dangerous.

Have to give kudos to the ref. Yeah he could have booked a Madrid player or two but he let the players play and didn’t get suckered into giving falling over shithouse type fouls. More should ref like this then it might disappear from the game.

 

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

Some of the crap he came out with, how do they get these jobs, my fucking Cavoodle has more insight than this silly ****.

What the fuck is a Cavoodle???

There's a big void left by the green haired Pogba to be filled.
I see this is where he's being directed

 

[marco]

cant wait for the 2nd leg. if the Etihad had a capacity of 100,000 it would be sold out

 

[burning blue soul]

He is, but he won't miss the 2nd leg,
Tchouameni will.

He might get injured this weekend....

Haaland is often a trap.
He is a monster that scares them, and that creates gaps that other citizens take advantage of.

 

[burning blue soul]

It's definitely a player whose name has 4 syllables in it...

 

[murcian blue]

Considering we played with 10 men, with Haaland anonymous, it’s a decent result

Haarland was taking 2 or 3 of there players out for most of the match
