Dortmund (H) - CL QF | Post-Match Thread

Like to see Fernandinho play instead of Rodri in the return has he will control the midfield and stop anything happening before it does . Ruban Dias has been great all season but haaland went by him like he wasn’t there so we need to be on that because he will get opportunities to run at us . Foden will. Be key in this game .

Not having that Paul. I know Dias ended up on his arse but he did more than enough to put Haaland off, which is more than any other defender has this season.

Opinions and arseholes...

Anyone who thinks that was a shit performance from City needs their fucking head feeling. Jesus.....

Don't get me wrong, if it had happened to us I'd be fuming, but does anyone else think that Jude Bellingham's disallowed goal was the correct decision (in the modern game)?

He does get the ball first, but it was a dangerous 'tackle'. Studs showing, stamping motion and clearly makes contact with Ederson. It was one of those that you'd expect to see a foul given if it was on the halfway line. Even if you win the ball,it doesn't give you freedom to stamp on your opponent with your stoods?

I didn't think it was a penalty either, but Can definitely made contact with Rodri's thigh. We've seen penalties given for far less!

On the halfway line it would have been a foul... but to who? I've seen them given both ways.
Cos, I've no clue anymore how all this "football officiating" works.
To me the Rodri pen was a pen. What part of the football handbook is raising (flicking) your foot backwards and kicking an opposing player in the knee acceptable, or approved of?
Didn't get the ball, got the man and wasn't even looking. And THAT is an "obvious error"
I will be waiting for the atrocious decision we will undoubtedly get on Wednesday.

You sound like you have blue tinted specs on. It's was never a foul on ederson in a million years. And if salah had gone down holding his face the way Rodri did, he'd be getting slated on here. You're prob one of those that think uefa are plotting against us despite that woeful refereeing performance on Tuesday.

Did you miss them banning us from Europe?

I don’t disagree and Dias in my eyes is the best defender in Europe and maybe the world at the moment but I do think on that one occasion he did get away . And another thing I don’t see £100 million in haaland from what I’ve seen lately .

Look whether we like if if not the ref gave us two decisions which we shouldn’t have had but in the scheme of things we have been hammered by poor decisions in Europe so I’m not complaining but I am worried about Rodri going into a he return as he had one of the worse games I’ve seen in a long time and they will look to me lay through him as a possible weak link which is why I’d like Fernandinho to step in .

Agreed we weren't at our fluent best for sure they're a good side, but we were the better of the two teams.
Did have a tad of luck the referee blowing up when Bellingham was through though.

No specs of any colour. I said I have seen them given both ways.
Ergo, I have no fucking clue anymore what's going on. Do you?

 

[blueyorkie]

100% all of this .

no way was a foul!! one of the cleanest challenges seen giving as a foul I’ve ever seen.

Also Rodri that was a fucking joke

Can’t agree with him holding his face. However the question is did Can kick him? I think it’s indisputable that he did, so a penalty all day long!

Went into a 50:50 at full speed with studs up which endangers the opposition player whether goalie or not.....anywhere else on the pitch it's a free kick so correct decision for me. The fact he got the ball doesn't matter, the dangerous play came first. Refs frequently give free kicks for that even when there's no contact.

The goal should have been given,i would have been well fucked off if it happened to us.

Eddie cocked up, I'm not disputing that, but its still a foul for me.....have seen them given both ways though as others have said. We were a little bit lucky.

 

[Bandofblues]

I certainly think the Can challenge on Rodri was a penalty. Can flailed his leg backwards onto Rodri's leg with no attempt to play the ball. A penalty all day. The problem was that the referee didn't like Rodri's theatrical behaviour...and I don't blame him really. The Bellingham one should have been allowed. He got the ball and his studs were not that high.

100%, he stuck his leg out deliberately with no idea where his leg was going and made clear contact with Rodri's knee. Penalty all day long irrespective of Rodri's hysterical reaction. Yet still a far less hysterical response than most of Salads or Kane's dives.

That said, the referee was sh*t and I would have been fuming if we had a perfectly good goal ruled out like they did.

Love it. “Shit performance”

OK "shit performance" was over the top but I said that right after the game and I was pissed at the sloppy errors we made, the team looked nervous and Dortmund are still totally in the tie, anyway that game's done and hopefully we will go through.

If he holds his knee I think the penalty stands.

No one should feel sorry for Dortmund or any of our opponents. All these clubs want is to burn us.

Hopefully we score handball goal in the 2nd leg.

We got treat unfairly in the past doesn't mean other teams/people should get the same treatment in the future.

Yes it does.
