If we replaced Gundy & Mahrez properly we would be running away with it all again this season. Miles off our best & we are still giving everybody a game.

Weird season

 

[vmsuhail]

We really really need Walker for the second leg.

 

[minimalistic]

I’d have snapped your arm off for a draw before kick off. Real were lucky with their two deflections. We’ll do them at the Etihad next week. Hopefully walker and Kev will be back.

Grealish is a hero to play 3 consecutive full games at that level.

The club got something seriously right with him during that international break.

 

[jaiguruKun]

As a wise man once said second half good, first half not so good.

 

[lancs blue]

Great result, a bit of an in and out performance overall redeemed by 3 cracking strikes. Hope Phil's ok.

Bellingham is destined for the rags - rag attitude and rag ability based on tonight's effort.

 

[Brendan110_0]

Be very interesting to see what team we put out on Saturday.

You could tell they’d had eight days without a game in the first half and a few of ours could do with a complete rest before next week.

They got rested. DeBruyne, Walker, Ederson, Alvarez.

 

[Sky Blue]

I hate that **** Bellingham and while I'm in a hate mood that fucker McPointer can get fucked. Let's smash these twats at ours.

 

[pride in battle]

Shite performance. Looked like we hadn't played together before. Huge change needed for next week.

It was Real Madrid away you plank

 

[skillman]

I tell you what though. Bellingham is a right cheating wanker. I knew he had quality but I didn’t know he was like that - constant whinging, tried to get Phil booked, Akanji sent off and dived all over the place with Dias and Stones. Proper thundercunt

 

[Blue warrior]

I really thought they would go all out tonight to try finish the tie, they will not be looking forward to Manchester next week that’s for sure.

 

[Chak19]

Good result, the performance wasn't good but you don't need to be in this competition, you just need to take your chances, a better defensive performance at the Etihad and we're through.

 

[KennyG]

Bring back the away goals rule!!!

 

[ninjamonkey]

We all would have taken a draw so can't complain with the result at all, win at home and were through. Thats always what you want in this competition. Couldn't see that result at halftime either so even more reason to be happy with thatm

Has to be mentioned it does feel like a little bit of a missed opportunity to exploit them having Tchouameni at cb mind, don't think we did that well.

Also disappointing we didn't target getting a few of them booked and suspended, vinicius can fly off the handle with very little provocation, why didn't we get somebody to have a little dig at him and see whether we could get him to bite? Dinho would have managed it.

If we get walker available, kdb should be over his illness, hopefully foden is a simple impact thing and with any luck everybody from tonight will remain available, we'll be in a strong position to give them another thrashing then. Etihad will be electric, team will be well up for it, we can get what we need.

grealish played very good game.

He did in some elements but he has to start contributing more in terms of goals and assists...he had opportunities tonight and at times could have delivered more.

[homerdog]

Good result; thought some players were as nervous as me and showed them too much respect, particularly in the first half.

Looking forward to teaching them cheating cunts a lesson next Wednesday.

 

[Norbert D]

So much for an intimidating atmosphere, Madrid like us have far too many tourists to get anything like an old school cauldron. Our atmosphere will be up there next week though, can’t wait!

 

[Blue2202]

Very good result considering the position we were in at HT & hope Phil is ok.. I know who I'd rather have over him and the over hyped whinging shithouse bellingham

Phil isn't doing too badly as Gundo's replacement.
