[blue by birth]

The greatest striker on the planet scored a hattrick last night

Erling didn't play last night ...his record pisses all over mbappes

Agree with most of that. But
How would you rate pep this season? We have been thrashed multiple times by average sides. Do you think he has any responsibility for those defeats?

The majority of our defeats have come on the back of defensive howlers from players who we have trusted in the past.
It’s a sign of mental fatigue, not inability on the manager.

The tie was over after we conceded that ridiculous goal after 3 minutes. It killed us.

It was over the second we decided to leave DeBruyne on the bench with Haaland. But honestly, we were never winning it this year anyway. RM will be beat by the first good team they meet.

Disappointed about the result and performance last night, but shit happens. What does disgust me is that in this era we have to watch the game through netting, which is not a pleasant viewing experience. I note that the Madrid fans on the same level didn’t have to put up with this. Shit cunts

the tie was over on 86 mins last week

Dominated Europe? Care to tell me when this happened? One CL win does not equate to domination. Not in my book.

As in being in it longer than any other premier team being favourite for the competition and winning it plus going far in it!

If you look at the stats of who has been the best club in Europe we will be in the top five! Which club has won it twice in the last 10 years? Yep Madrid

It's not just the results is it. The football we've played all season bar the odd game has been sleep inducing.

I was consigned to this being a season of pain long ago, painful to watch but have to grin and bear it.

Players have given 100% for over 4 years and have run out of gas and can no longer do it physically and mentally.

Its a mix of certain players no longer capable, not getting our first choice transfer targets and plugging the gaps with short term fixes.

The team is for at the stage as when Pep first arrived.

We have a very important summer transfer window coming up. If we fail to secure the players we actually want, and have to instead make do with plugging gaps once more then next season could be similar to this one.

No more pissing about in the transfer market please City. I think Jan was a cracking window for us and it's becoming quite easy to see who needs replacing come the summer. A few fans will have to get their fix of certain players in the next few months, because I think they'll be gone. Done a great job though.

Apparently it took McAtee telling some of his teammates to go and clap the away fans for them to actually do it.

Poor that, if true.

 

[Kippax Kidd]

Hard to compete without a midfield .

A GK , RB , at least 2 CMs and a no 10 needed for rebuild .

And unfortunately it's time for Ederson , Walker , Ake , Bernardo , Gundo, Kovacic, Nunes and KDB ( sadly ) to be moved on if possible .

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Probably already been said, but we wouldn’t have gone through even if we’d of come away with a 2-1win last week (imho) last night wasn’t the realisation of that, last week was, we just can’t go through the gears like we have previously & last night we got stuck in first. Slow pedantic build up when we had a frontline of pace was baffling, we should’ve dropped deep and played on the counter. Instead we picked an old team to try retaining the ball & sat on half way (football suicide) The best chance we had was keeping it 0-0 on the night, for as long as possible in the feint hope they panic

For me it’s a sackable offence! Might sound daft to some but it should be written in a contract or something that it’s mandatory you clap the fans, especially away in Europe. Apparently Savinho and Ederson didn’t bother so fuck um both.

Disagree. Yes we need new signings, but we need a bigger squad. Some of those players will need to stay to allow rotation. Mordric still playing at Madrid.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Mbappe scoring his first two goals and explaining the defensive errors that led to them while celebrating has to be the most humiliating thing.

 

[hihosilva]

Not really sure why they bothered turning up. Shocking performance.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Madrid have recruited better of the last few seasons.

Bellingham, Tchoumendi, Camavinga and Mbappe. That’s one way of replacing aging players.

Pass pass pass pass pass.......................then back to Eddie - then pass pass pass pass.....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Can't do both . Players mentioned are on huge wages .

He just came across as a ****
