Real Madrid post match thread

[Taylor]

We make fun of Utd blowing money

We wasted a quarter of billion pounds in January on players who aren't good enough to get into THIS team

Just think about that

They are good enough to get into the team though, what a stupid statement.

Let’s be fair, given our season was that really a shock result….?

I was more shocked when we went 2.1 up to be honest.

 

[Silvatoure21]

We want to win in normal time because as it stands we’ve not got the legs or brains for 120mins at the Bernabeu with our run of matches and depleted squad

Good point. A two goal win does it then. We aren’t stopping goals so we need to score 5 at least next week

Same old problems so the same issues persist.

Rico Lewis - simply not good enough - the third goal is on him and he got skinned numerous times in the second half. He may be ok on the ball in small spaces but he is a less than average defender.

KDB - just not offering anything near enough any more- we are defending with one less man with him on the pitch especially in the mid and attacking third - he aint pressing, he aint tracking back and he cant run - it is time to let him go at the end of this season - anything else is just prolonging the agony. His creative output is also now in decline...to many way wayward passes as he hasnt got the legs to get in postions to make them so he tries to make passes that simply are not on

No proper number 6. Stones did well but we need someone there.

No pace in the back line - the ball in behind our defence was always on...with no walker any more we cant get away with it .

Gundo when he came on was awful.

The result was about right and if we had won that game we wouldnt have deserved it.

 

[Omar the King]

Well, partly very good and uplifting, partly very bad and depressing. We'll win next week.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

He never wanted to be here this season, Ederson wanted away and was packed ready to go but the deal fell through

Do you have proof of that?

Get back to rag café

Think it's more the way we fucked it than the actual result.

I hope the fascists get the dips in the final and beat them to fuck again.

Demolition team?

 

[Chippy_boy]

Lewis looks out of his depth in that position!

Fuck me, he's out of his depth in every position.

The lad has skills and can control a ball well, which Pep has mistaken for thinking he's a good footballer. But he is rubbish. He cannot defend, offers nothing going forward, cannot assist and he never score in a year of Sundays. He offers nothing. It's like one of those circus acts that do 8 million keepie uppies but who ultimately cannot play football for toffee.

 

[Delphinho]

So frustrating to be knocked out after a game like that. Leading 2-1, decent control of the game and then gift them 2 goals free of charge

I'm actually disappointed with the performance, I can see many on here are happy with what was produced by the players tonight nice to have positive posts.

Personally I think tonight was our chance to go to Madrid with an advantage especially with the players they are missing, We look so short of confidence and you can sense it from the crowd too even when the ball is being played around the back you could hear a pin drop. I don't think we've showed enough attacking threat tonight, We were looking for moments in the game without having any real sustained pressure on Real Madrid. We played ok in parts of the game but overall Real Madrid were the better side they look a step above us at this moment in time.

I loved Gvardiol performance tonight I thought he was absolutely quality, Ederson was incredible up until the 86th minute and then it all went pear shaped.

The goals we are conceding are absolutely comical, The first goal you've two players that don't react getting out and ball watching, The second Ederson having a shit kick out on top of that when Ederson saved the original effort from the rebound Kovacic decided to stop following Diaz run because he can't sense danger, The third goal was a comedy of errors from Rico, Eddie and Kovacic...

It summed up our season as it's been a constant theme, At 2-1 just sit deep and look for counter attacks, Just make sure you hold onto what you have worked for getting a lead...Truth be told, If I was Haaland I'd stick a head in the majority of them at the back, Everytime he gets us in the game or ahead in a game they have a brainfart at the back.

Tonight showed more than any game this season how far we have fallen.

 

[marco]

2-1 was it with 5 minutes to go, yes the players taken off were tired but a one leged man could have lasted five bloody minutes more, so what was Peps point was he winding the clock down, i just dont get it

 

[eyalluvitt]

Could Eddie have made it more obvious that he's got one foot out the door? I'm afraid, realistically, our only chance for silverware this season is the FA cup, and I wouldn't bet against us to balls that up as well.

We just loaned the best goalie at the club to Milan

 

[ancoats]

Really disappointing but not surprising, we collapse all the time as our heads go.
Not sure what Pep is trying to do anymore, players certainly aren't listening to him

That mistake would kill any team, We worked so hard to get 2.1 up only to give it away like that

 

[BlueMonkey79]

What's your fucking point?

That's his level

 

[Kippax1973]

Nico isn’t good enough for a title chasing side. Let’s be honest

He ain't good enough full stop

 

[Roachy]

Nope, a convincing win would have been though.

 

[Tomblue]

He never wanted to be here this season, Ederson wanted away and was packed ready to go but the deal fell through

And if that had happened there’s no way we would’ve gone into the market as we are ‘Go with what we’ve got FC’ even when our players need walking sticks.
