AS Monaco (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

Poor performance - no drive or energy, for sure little creativity.
Summed it up late on when we have a free kick with time running out and we can’t even get a shot at goal !
That said , some shocking refereeing
 
We weren’t great but we’d done enough for the result barring a shocking decision from the ref. How many times have we seen teams do enough to get the result when not playing well. Having said that this should be a wake up call to the ‘safe pass merchants’ in the team. Looked like only Foden and Doku were trying to make stuff happen in the first half.
 

Even that **** Lahoz thinks this ref is a ****.
 
Disappointing result, dominant in possession and we certainly had chances to win the game. Defensively we still look a bit vulnerable, but we should have won that tonight. Ref was diabolical and gave us nothing.
 
Should have comfortably won that game. Had it under control but really struggled with their pace. Kept the ball so easily but final pass or shot just wasn't there tonight. Ridiculous penalty decision robbed us.

Nico was good when he came on tonight which is a positive. Reijnders needs to be more composed on the ball still. Foden superb, Savinho looked sharp as well after a quiet game from Doku. Bernardo has so many chances to put in a cross or pass but he is just so pedestrian the moment is gone long before he can do anything sadly. And he is running in treacle defensively dealing with any pace.

Why didn't Gvardiol slide the ball to Haaland at the end there!

Ahh well, still where we need to be in the table positively. Won't get a refund as bad as that for a while hopefully.
 
Everything was under control until those subs came in, especially Nico. He gave away both the free kick and the penalty, awful.
 
Let’s be honest - we won’t play a worse team in the Champions Leage than that Monaco B team.

If we can’t beat that shower we may as well go out asap.

An injury to Haaland away from being absolutely hopeless.
 
I think that has to be one of the worst teams we’ll face so not to come away with all the points is very disappointing. Felt like too many players just let that game drift by thinking we’d just see the game out and it’s cost us. A few years ago we’d of put 5 or 6 past that side. A long way to go for this group.
 
Even if you get the ball!!!
A boot that high is classed as ENDANGEREING an opponent.

Therfore the pen was always gonna get given.
And Gonzales should have been booked then.
But it wasn't dangerous play . Diers head moved down towards his foot.
The referee needed to watch about 5 times and still made the wrong decision.
Shocking.
 
Fuming with that. Thought we played a great European away game and robbed by the ref. Say what you want about the penalty it was never a free kick in a million years leading up to it. Gave them absolutely everything all night aswell. Unlucky lads, draw away there ain't the end of the world. Let's beat Brentford and its been a great block of games.
 
It would be easy to blame the ref for his shite performance but that for me was a tough watch, these sort of games where we look hesitant to play the ball forward and just choose to play the ball to the nearest player. I’m sure there’s reasons for this but I can’t see why we do it.
Def not a game you play Bernardo
He’s done at this level, thought Phil and big earl looked good also good seeing rodders getting more minutes but just can’t help thinking if that was against psg or Barca we would have got battered.
