Is anything that I put wrong?

Id say its probably worth waiting until the end of the season before really sticking the boot in. We could quite well win the double and are in a great position to do so, that is the bar for this team, not how we did in certain matches.

This season looking at the top teams we have played. In the champions league only Real Madrid really. How many wins?

In the league we have played Arsenal twice, Liverpool twice, Spurs once. How many wins? We played Villa away and lost but thankfully Emery turned out a reserve team at ours and we beat them. That's the top 5 teams.

I would say 1 win in 9 games shows our inability to see off good teams is a regular occurrence

So we're all just imagining we're top of the Prem are we in a season where Arsenal and Liverpool are flying and we're below our best? Of the teams you mention, only Villa genuinely outplayed us - being outplayed with a full strength side hadn't happened for many years before that.

I wouldn't say that's putting the boot in. More like stating the obvious.

33 total shots to their 8 is lack of creativity? poor finishing was the problem tonight. 9 shots on target one scored.

How many were good chances though? 2 or 3 from what I recall, including the goal
. The keeper only made 9 saves and I don't remember any of them being particularly difficult

As brilliantly as we played, it was clear that we struggled to break them down. A far cry from the 4-0 and 4-3 games of the last two seasons

I understand what your saying, Arsenal have taken 4 points off us and the dippers but you wouldn’t think so by looking at the table, the league has 20 teams and to be champions you have to respect 19 of those teams. Last night the footballing gods were against us or else we would of won 2-1 or 3-1 easily
 
Maybe some perspective ,we go out ofthe Champs league fighting like champions adn unlike so many clubs our season is not over , we still have trophies to win , some of us can remember when we were doing cartwheels when we got to 40points , i know expectations have changed with the investment we have enjoyed, but lets not forget where we have come from. This is a wild ride under Pep and we are so lucky to be where we are , we won the lotttery and then appointed the best manager the game has ever seen.
As Cheesy says.....................its great to be a blue :)

Proud of the boys to be honest.

Tactics poor by pep for me especially the start of the game but he’s been off all season. Strange subs too.

Not replacing Gundy & Mahrez costing us this season which is insane after winning the treble.

The players gave it their all but some are too old or just not good enough.

Nobody is imagining anything. Unless I've forgotten us beating top teams. In the league you can get away with not beating the top teams as long as they drop points which is what has been happening. In the CL however you are never going to win it with an inability of getting over the line and winning games.

Thankfully in the league we have been able to beat the other sides and those around us have dropped points too. I guess my point is we haven't been able to beat any team of note this season and that makes it almost impossible to win the Champions League.

People are plaiming City for moving the ball around!!! But, what can you do when a team like Real Madrid put 10 players infront of their goal? It is really difficult.

This cowardly Real madrid managed to do it twice against us. Even In the first game they scored twice from deflected balls.

Is it luck? I am really sad. It is just the feeling that this must be not fair.

We scored three magnificent goals first leg and Madrid had two very very lucky deflections - we battered 'em at their place. Last night, without being at our best, we battered 'em again. No other side on the planet forces Madrid to park the bus. We're still the best side on the planet with a good mid-twenties average age. Yes, Pep will freshen things at the end of the season in certain positions and we'll go again.

Ederson did save one today, and showed Bernardo and Kovacic how to score one under pressure ;-)

Today it was mainly our penalty takers that let us down. There should be a dedicated set piece coach that gives this proper attention, it's amateurish not to prepare properly. RM clearly knew which side Kovacic was going to put his penalty.
I agree Ederson normally hasn't the best save % for penalties, (perhaps Ortega could be brought on for the penalties to do a bit better?)

There is a set piece coach, do you watch training every day, how do you know they don’t practice or analyse penalties.
 
In a nutshell, we played Real Madrid off the park.

We could have and should have put at least one of our other chances away but we sadly didn't.

That doesn't change fact that we were absolutely streets ahead of them and limited them to only 3 shots on target.

It took a 'guess which way' penalty shoot-out for them to go through, helped by Bernardo's brain fart penalty kick.

If you look at the 120 minutes of actual football - my goodness we're a bloody good team and play some beautiful football.

The better team sometimes doesn't win - but if football is about entertainment, I was entertained big time last night by our boys. They were amazing.
