AS Monaco (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

[burning blue soul]

The player that made us drop points was Silva. FK went to him and he put in the weakest cross ever. Last minute counter and he checks back. Awful stuff. It’s not Nico’s fault this con artist gave a FK for a non foul and a penalty for non contact

Maybe Silva was poor, but I'm still waiting for Nico to actually aid the team in some way. All he seems to do is get us in bother.
There are glaring weak links in the team, and we all know who they are.

Erling becoming the leader of this team. That interview. Wow.

 

[Stelea]

Haaland sounds fuming with his team mates

 

[pudge]

As I said, you're talking nonsense. That was not remotely like a 3rd division performance in any way.
If another of the chances we created go in and the ref does not give a ridiculous penalty, you would be on here saying that was absolutely fantastic and just how you need to play away from home in Europe.
We played well. We passed the ball about nicely and we created plenty of chances.
If we played like that against any 3rd tier team, we would obliterate them. So yout opinion that it was a 3rd tier level performance is utterly ridiculous. You are being over dramatic without any due cause.

Did you moan at your parents that they didn't really take your nose when they played with you?

 

[Trojan63]

We failed to kill them off that’s on us - but it wasn’t even a foul for the free kick leading to the penalty and the penalty itself was debatable to say the least - that’s on the officials

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Who is this daft mare on the post match saying erl isn’t involved in the game

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Had more than enough chances to win that, but i wish we would play with more urgency at times. Feels like we are settling with a 1 goal lead too often. Conceding late so much should show this isn't working. You have to be beating them, especially with most of their team out.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Haaland is pissed off.

Not surprised really, he's right.

Pep fucked up in the second half, his decision making is getting more and more bizarre.

 

[noseve]

It's chest height at best. Dier is stooping for it (after pulling Nico back btw). If anything, Dier is endangering himself.

Nope, Nico's toe is level with his own nose!?

Soft or not, he was asking for trouble. A stupid, stupid decision to stick his foot up there

 

[Rolo]

Haaland is fuming.

 

[K-Bo]

6/10 performance from us, punished for not killing the game but ref was a knob and wanted the upset

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

If Monaco had fouled one of our players with a foot 5 foot something in the air, or even attempted to do it, we would be screaming for a pen.

Poor decision from Gonzales in the moment.

He didn't cost us the draw though. Too tippy tappy and not ruthless enough in the second half.

What do you want him to do just watch Dier head it unchallenged into the net

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Not a popular opinion but that first goal could have been prevented if Jonny boy had closed the ball down, rather than standing off his man. Small margins but just one action could have made a difference. Don’t get me wrong, it was a quality finish, but preventable.
That said, we had enough opportunities to put the game to bed and didn’t do it.
We’re still alive here though……

You can’t give players that amount of time and space at this level. Foden’s pathetic attempt at closing him down was just as bad but he is a forward so forgivable.

Our defenders are so slow now. I thought Monaco were wank but they still caused us a few problems due to our complete lack of pace at the back and in midfield. Bernado is like a fucking snail now.

 

[Chris Holmes]

Good analysis from Erling after the game.
He'll be making he feelings known with a motivational chat in the dressing room

 

[blue moony]

He has to go next summer, absolutely nothing comes from him now, didn't last season as well

Can go in jan

Our last captain did

Some of the decisions over the last 2 season have been inept and baffling

 

[blue by birth]

Everything was under control until those subs came in, especially Nico. He gave away both the free kick and the penalty, awful.

It wasn't a free kick and the penalty was a fucking joke..

 

[TinFoilHat]

Erling becoming the leader of this team. That interview. Wow.

That interviewer needs re training.

"Erling, you scored 2 goals but did fuck all else..."

 

[Sam69]

More than an hour with Bernardo and Stones on the right, no crosses even when the game requires it, no danger, it takes a miracle to win a match with a dead right side like that, you lose 2 points stupidly...

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

?
he kicked him in head what would you want other way round

He got the ball and didn't touch his massive head

 

[Bluewonder]

Tonight highlights how far we’ve dropped over the past couple of years and how much work we’ve still got to do to get back to the top.

Yes, the referee was a blatant cheat, but we’ve experienced that many times over the years and we’ve had enough nous and ability to overcome it. Not tonight though.

Monaco were a really poor side, yet we constantly gave the ball away, we looked extremely vulnerable on the counter and the whole balance of the team was off because Guardiola, for some unknown reason, insists on playing Bernado who once again was the worst player on the pitch.

Meanwhile we’ve got a player like Haaland up front, in the form of his life, and we can’t create a single chance for him the second half against a pub team.

Guardiola really needs to get it together and quickly, because he’s running out of excuses- he made changes tonight which were unnecessary and made the team worse.

Bluemoon's no1 clown ^
