Real Madrid post match thread

[TheGhost]

We bought players to address the obvious issues we have and didn’t start any of them. Yet Pep seems surprised that the thing that has happened 5 or 6 times, happened again.

I don’t like to criticise Pep but the subs were absolutely baffling.

We are still in it!

We're out we will get battered 2nd leg!

 

[Omar the King]

This is how it feels to be United.

 

[Bobby the blue]

Sums up the weak mentality.

Weak mentality. Jesus wept. Where you been the last five years.

Newcastle are not Madrid.

Madrid can't be gifted more goals in a 2 legged match surely.

We scored a brilliant team goal, won a deserved penalty, despatched.
And our keeper made some very good saves which is why his error is more gauling.

Need some luck with injuries and fitness mind.

Newcastle aren't Tottenham, United, Brighton, Bournemouth, Sporting, Villa and we've already lost to all of them.

Madrid had almost twice as many shots as us away from home. They will batter us at the Bernabeu

He's a blue as we'll isn't he? If not, His family are definitely City fans.

I like the lad he seems a really nice guy, He's come through alot during his career especially going to basically every ground and getting absolute pelters by idiots.

Yes he might have made a shit load of money by playing football, He's still human and I'm sure he's been battered and bruised by many fans over the years but he's come through it and thankfully he's one of those lads who is able to laugh it off in his own way.

He’s fucking mint. A real character. His ‘freakness’ has defined that.

We are still in it!

We are Schrodingers football team. Out of the competition but also still in the competition...

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Yes we bought in Jan but I suspect playing young lads in a flagging team v serial winners Madrid could ruin confidences.

I get that. But why buy him and show him that you've not got confidence in him? Maybe it's yet, but still, not there.
And why buy him if you think Rico Lewis is more capable of doing the job than him?
I don't get it
I don't have to live with the risk that Khush could've done worse than Rico though.
Hey, I imagine they'd have targeted him in the same manner as they Rico, it's just that the eventual mistake feels so much like an inevitability with Lewis.

I get it, I just think it's the wrong decision.

Madrid are riddled worse than us with injuries. Still looked like they could have scored 4 or 5 if they had taken their chances.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Shame that it came down to stupid mistakes and a fluke.

That said, thought we were poor, unable to dominate any more against top sides, carrying players who just don’t have the energy to compete at this level now.

Get out of this cup next week and concentrate on getting top 4 and a good run in FA Cup.

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

I think the writing may be on the wall for Kev and Gundo, in particular.

 

[bondsman]

Irrespective of what else has happened this year and what might yet happen, that last 4 minutes is unforgivable. Ederson, kova and Lewis handed them the tie. Shite decision making, under no pressure. Pathetic

 

[David White]

We’re a 1 trick pony. And everyone knows it. Far too predictable. We need various goal threats.

Grealish/Bernardo have to go for me

Grealish and Bernardo played well tonight. Neither cost us that game

 

[HypnoticBlue]

We have now lost four games in this competition, we don’t deserve to be in it. Not much else to say.

And after next Weds we won’t be in it, and I doubt very much if we’ll be in it next year either unfortunately.

 

[Roachy]

Sums up the weak mentality.

Throw in the Sporting 4-1 drubbing as well.

 

[paulchapo]

Madrid are riddled worse than us with injuries. Still looked like they could have scored 4 or 5 if they had taken their chances.

Ancelotti said their back four hadn't even trained together.

 

[ysmsa]

Weird thing tonight i was thinking Eddie or John Stones for motm.Then Eddie has a brain fart.
At the same time i was thinking Rico has been good since he came on.
Another 2 quick goals costs us again.

Correct Benny, people are judging players tonight based on individual errors.

Ederson and Rico will be absolutely gutted with those decisions late on although Rico was sort of dropped in it.

 

[Bluearmy]

OFFS Grealish was one of our better players tonight !!!

He’s been awful for 2 years!!

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Madrid are riddled worse than us with injuries. Still looked like they could have scored 4 or 5 if they had taken their chances.

Feyenoord too had more injuries than us and we crumbled at 3-0 up.

 

[Moss Side's Finest]

Well the players we have signed so far are not good enough. And I’d expect next season to be much the same as this if not worse

You mean the players that haven't really played a full proper game between them all??? Are you really trying to dig out new players because the team is struggling? Wow
