[OL2Blue]

Excellent point. Ages since we got anything away from home in the CL. Played well and they looked very dangerous on the break. Would have settled for a draw before the game.

Bernie RW crap, kills every attack and then pisses the ref off as he is about to make a penalty decision great captaincy

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

I was blaming Gonzalez initially but then on seeing him getting the ball first it is a farce of a decision. The referee was awful with giving that freekick to start with. Still a bit braindead lifting your leg that high.

Poor performance overall but unlucky draw.

 

[CumbriaCity]

Put the cue on the rack and pissed around for 40mins, they need a fucking rocket for all that fannying around!

 

[Utter bobbins]

BTW Monaco have 10 injuries. Fucking wank.

They had 11 1st team players on the pitch tho

 

[gabby69]

Shocking from that so called ref
What a cheating bastard

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Thought we played well in that game and should have put it to bed well before the end.

In terms of the penalty, I know I’m going to be in the minority, but they are always given in Europe and have been for a long while. Hoddles arguments I get some will agree with but it doesn’t matter if you play the ball or not.

Raising your foot that high in Europe is risky.

 

[DMA's]

Actually fell asleep at 2 1. We are quite boring at times

 

[MCFC1993]

TNT desperate to build a negative narrative on this.

It's not that bad.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

How Dier recovered from that severe head injury inflicted by Nico to score the penalty, will forever remain a mystery..

Yep, interesting he was allowed on so soon with no concussion check after being brutally kicked in the head.

 

[Eoiyflem]

Turd referee.. not a pen at all. Face hits foot, not foot hits face!

Haaland awesome.

Gvardiol with a fucking mare.. and if we play Trafford, he saves Monaco's first goal!!!

Didn't take long for the keeper to get blamed. New record possibly

 

[pudge]

Was it fuck. You're talking nonsense.

Slow, sluggish, always a yard behind a player. No zip or urgency for most of the match.

God forbid folk have opinions

 

[Really_here]

I'm sure everyone will talk about the ref, but more concerning is just how easy to get at we looked whenever they had the ball. Our team speed in midfield and defence is shocking when you come up against a team with Monaco's pace.

And while I love him, Pep keeping Bernardo on all game was mind boggling.

Agree aabout Bernard - been a great player but running out of steam

 

[Gabriel]

Officials poor but we were as aimless for large parts of the first half as we were at Southampton, and we needed much more penetration in the final third of the game but instead repeatedly turned back. That’s on us, alas.

 

[noseve]

You have to be bloody naive to even give any ref a chance to award a penalty, like that, especially when he's already booked somebody for the same thing earlier in the match

A rash challenge.

 

[vincent]

In soccer, a raised foot near the head is a foul called "playing in a dangerous manner" or, more colloquially, a "high boot". A referee can call this foul even if no contact is made, as the action itself is a threat to a player's safety.


For those confused by the rules

Thanks for clarifying the rules of ‘soccer’

 

[YatesA]

À competent attacking option instead of bernardo and we would have scored 4 minimum.

Hes the new Gundogan - teachers pet!!

 

[chesterbells]

In control then Pep makes subs...

Mate, Stones was getting roasted for pace constantly on the right hand side. He just had to swap him for Nunes.

We had two great chances to score again but hit the woodwork both times, which was nothing to do with the subs.

I agree Nico ain’t no Rodders, but then who is?

 

[nmc]

Someone from the club needs to call this one out. Pure corruption has cost us tonight. That ref has clearly taken a bung to turn a display in as bad as that. It was embarrassing and wholly undermines the integrity of the game.
