crowd wake up when losing an down to 10 men.

don't understand it.

 

[Spursy22]

You guys are playing better now that you attacking and you have 10 men, which suggest he could've attacked form the start.

Don't blame the ref. Wasn't a foul on Navas, def pen and def red card. Just incredibly frustrating that that was their first real chance, and now they'll probably get a couple more now.

Navas call was debatable and it was outside the box.

If the Navas decision was the other way round, you know the ref would have given it to Barcelona, he's been doing it all night. And I don't know why everybody is blaming MDM, it was Kompany who was out of position and played Messi onside. MDM had no real choice but to try and make a challenge in that situation.

Twice Alves has gotten free since Kolarov went off.

What MP sees in MDM i have no idea. Fucking horrible, shouldnt be playing for Fulham let alone us.

A ridiculous ill informed opinion - Ask yourself where were the other defenders as they broke? Why did Navas try and buy a cheap free kick giving the ball away? Are you going to start saying we need to not play Vinny or Zabba next. There have been many many world class defenders made to dive in by Messi just be more realistic with your posts. MDM had a good game up to that point. We are playing Barca without Augero like us playing them without Messi. Lets see how Lescott does before you start again. Silly silly post.

so you are saying MDM is world class - jog on lad

I want to scoop Townsend's brains out with a rusty spoon

Then I will shit in the cavity.

Then his IQ would go up, at least.

I concur

 

[remember arthur mann]

Think if we would have been more positive, we'ed have scored easily.

 

[baldybouncer]

That should have been 2-0, and they'll pay for that!!

 

[dctid]

It's not Munich at home we are doing lots of good things here and deserve something . Can't see what Navas or MDM bring us sadly and Yaya looks like a man who wants to be elsewhere tonight

Yaya has clearly been told to sit

If i was Nasri i would be fucking pissed. Looked the best player all season and somehow Navas who only offers speed gets ahead of him. It's farcical.

If I were Nasri, I'd be even more upset that it was Kolarov and not Navas who took his place. He contributed nothing, predictably got zero separation from Alves, couldn't retain the ball or create chances, and was subbed only after we lost a man.

That was Pellegrini's biggest mistake tonight. We effectively neutered our attack.
