Villarreal (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

Can’t grumble about that, really good first half that put us in control. Did what we needed to do second half.

Loving the performances of Nunes and Nico G again, confident and assured.
 
Good. Especially the first half. Second half was I guess what we’ve been looking for of late and showing we can kill a game from suffocating it rather than scoring more. But it was an exciting watch. Rather that than the Monaco outcome.

Stones great, Gonzalez motm for me, nice we’ve got a shot stopper, Erling just lethal. And superb to see all the returnees from injury. Commentators praising our wingers tonight but they frustrated the hell out of me. Must be just me. True a brilliant assist from Savinho for Bernie before I get pilloried!

Shout out to the relentless 1100 away blues and their vocal non stop singing.
 
what we safe today we gonna get back in april, may. How hard is to get it?

Away at Villarreal, who are 3rd in La Liga.

Its been a great first half and second half more or less under control. They had like 3/4 chances? We had more in the second half alone, including 3 Haaland's shots, for Erling - almost sitters.

All those posters writting we were shit second half, so laughable.
 
Result was good in the end but was'nt far awy from another 2-2. I understand the temptation of taking your foot of the gas to protect players, but lets have another 3 first, then subs can have quailty time.
 
I think the opposition are saving some of their best players to increase their threat off the bench pretty often. We might do a bit of the same in response, especially when virtually everyone is fit.
 
Glad with the result not the performance.


Hopefully Tijjani & Cherki can be chances creation machine in the middle soon.

Job well done and really important 3 points. Need to do the same against Villa. 2 half was pretty poor ,high pressing seems to hurt us quite a bit atm and definetly will see it more from bigger and stronger teams. Pep needs to sort this one out.

Only saw a bit of the end of this game, but the issue seems to be that when teams press us high up, not all of our players are making enough of an effort to get open for an easy outlet pass. This causes us to have to hold the ball longer, go backwards, or make a dangerous pass to someone in traffic and we often end up giving the ball away.
 
Excellent with our 2nd choice midfield. Gonzalez is some player. Let's hope he isn't injured.

All those moaning about the performance are clueless.
 
Thought the referee was shite again Bernardo’s yellow and Ruben’s were ridiculous.Some of these European teams just fall over when you go near them and he fell for it all night.
TNT have got a negative slant on anything we do and the commentary is fuckin terrible.first time we,ve won away in the champions league for over twelve months the **** woman said three times with such urgency,now she’s saying what would we do if Haaland got injured.You,d be rubbing one out you sad **** !
Good win though

Yeah and passing has to be much better and more precise.
