Crvena Zvezda (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

[KingGeorge]

Nice post match interview from Rodri, gave some credit to Ortega for his goal – apparently Stefan pointed out that the keeper was always focused on the aerial threat and wasn't watching his posts

Nice work by Ortega...One can add value even when they are on the bench.

The only thing that I can see stopping us going close to it all again is injuries and a bit of complacency ( although pep won’t be having that )..

 

[paulchapo]

Hopefully neither Bernie nor Doku took injuries out of that match!

Pep said Bernie could be out for a few games.

Enjoyed the game , but should have scored more.
Was stood next to the red star fans they were great had a laugh and banter with them . Even there capo was willing us to sing more , not seen that before .

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

I'd prefer to be making literally dozens of good chances and not scoring than not, but at some point if we are this wasteful it will come back and haunt us.

Feels mad to be saying this out loud given his goal tally, but the team is set up to create Haaland chances and he's missing them. No flapping, no alarm bells, and he knows it more than me, but his job is to score them. Nice assist, though, and his build up play is looking much better.

Foden looks better finding space wide than in the middle.

I fucking love Nathan Ake. He's the calmest and classiest lad on the pitch. Fourth choice centreback (?) on his way to Chelsea to one of the best central defenders in the world at the moment.

Alvarez is grand again, him and Rodri our most consistent players at the moment.

I thought all the new lads looked promising again. Nunes quieter but productive, Doku just fun to watch and already improving quickly.

I assume that was a Bernie injury? Hope it's not serious.

New managed queuing systems are a small but decent though. Were there always speakers on the concourse? Can't remember them. Is it to try and get people back to their seats on time?

 

[The perfect fumble]

The Belgian lads taking this manc thing a bit far....

 

[Phil1]

We’ve now got a squad of players that means I’m not the tiniest bit concerned when we get the inevitable injuries.
This team is special.

 

[blue whippet]

A good performance let down by some poor finishing and on a couple of occasions just unlucky. Some of our passing went astray at times, some under hit some over hit.
I was impressed by Nunes, thought he drove us forward in the first half and defended well. Doku is an exciting player to watch, Alvarez and Rodri good too.

You seem to be on a constant downer fella.I'd hate to have seen what you were like back in the 90s.

He's only 15 years old, never witnessed the City many of us remember.

 

[Impeccable One]

Haaland has had some shockers this season, you can see it eating at him. Hopefully takes it out on Forrest on sat.

I’m thinking triple captain for this weekend
