Who are you putting on then? I am no fan of Rico but Nunes is in the doghouse and Khusanov is not a RB.

Rico is not a RB, whether Pep plays him there all the time or not. I would rather have one of them than Rico. With Khusanov at least he is fast and a defensive unit. Rico was never the solution or the lesser evil.
 
I was writing a post that I couldn't get on that I love Modric and wished he didn't play for those feckers. And sure enough he comes on and they score twice to win.

He's old but still influences, who have we got???

Rico lacks the real bite of a genuine defender and struggles positionally - the shame is that he was doing well tonight.

Yep, he can look good against a team where we dominate possession and, let's be honest, we don't have to do much defending. But against Real Madrid in the Champions' League? He actually had some good moments, but you can't just have good moments at this level, you have to be good in every moment.
 
I did say I fear the lack of full-backs and it is clear as day we are broken mentally and gone
Mistakes kill any team, but for this team, it's like turning off the life support machines and light out and its done

BOY, Ederson you never wanted to be here this season, so never don the shirt again after that
SICKENING

Stupid subs at stupid times for me sorry but once again peps lack of action & choices are becoming a regular issue.

No way Kev starts the 2nd half & no way do you play Gundy in that game

And no way Rico should be utilized in any manner for the second leg. He will once more be targeted by the Madrid attackers.
 
surprised Khushanov was not on in place of Rico even Nunes

That ball for their goal I’m still thinking get your head on it lad and if you get kicked it’s a fowl and yellow roll around and some time is wasted and kills the game instead he tries a kungfu kick with his little legs

We have settled for the self destruct button so often it’s painful.

Watching the other games Sporting getting hammered by Dortmund but yet they smashed us.

This team is damaged mentally not sure how you get confidence back. Our changing room
Must be fcuked.

Not sure how much more Pep can take. Will he do a Kenny Dalglish and walk?

Season is gone barring FA cup with how the fixtures may fare favourably for us given a lot of the better teams are out and will be out after next round
