[Asa's left peg]

I've been critical of the team at times this season but I'm finding some of the chat in here both arrogant and ridiculous in equal messure.

It's Real Madrid fuck sake, at the Bernabeau.

We controlled much of the game in terms of possession and scored some great goals. If there are some criticisms it's that a couple of players were slack particularly first half and that we didn't create too many chances, relying on wonder strikes.

But again, it's Real Madrid away. Without Walker or KDB. Wise the fuck up, a 3-3 draw and a performance like that is perfectly acceptable.

Comon AB! A team of has beens and kids with a washed up manager.

And they weren't that better.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Matchday thread needs fucking off. Only peeped at halftime and logged off sharpish.

I gave up half way through the first half. I was afraid I was going to swear at a couple on there. :-)

You cant make this up if you want to, you have people hear who says its been a crap performance. Im telling You now and its a huge favour for you - change Your hobby immediately, you will not find hear a joy.

Top, top level performance, intimidative atmosphere before and at the start of the game, Bernabeu away, we had much more possesion and better XG, KDB out last second, Walker out for fucks know how long. And we were better team against Real with Bellingham, Vinicius, Kroos, Rodrygo, Valverde, Camavinga, Rudiger in the UCL quarter final.

Are we semi finalists? No. We have still hard job to do, but a draw is very good result to say the least.

Would have taken that beforehand, no messing. However, disappointed we couldn’t manage the game out when leading going into the last 10. At Half time I said if we can get away with just a 1 goal deficit we’d have done well, we were poor in that first half.
Second half we were transformed and were very good. We scored 3 great goals as well. They got 2 very fortuitous goals. On to the 2nd leg. I’m confident.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

That Foden goal was special. You could see the team building on that play for about 10 minutes with the movement of the players.
Whilst the win is always nice I’m happy with the draw and I’m confident we’ll beat them at home.
Yes City!

Madrid players looked crushed at full time……hopefully they’ll bring that lack of belief with them next week

 

[Norbert D]

yep their 9-day relax before this game made big difference compared to our schedule. if we had 9 days off and they would have had two not so simple opponents in La Liga getting 1-2 injuries this could have been very different with certainly lesser energy level for them.

I thought it worked against them, we got stronger as the game went on. Don’t underestimate how tough the Premier league is compared with La Liga.

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Luca Modric is a class act. Always has been and so much so he needs a post dedicating to him. This could be it.














































Foden’s going to have a better career than him though :-)

 

[TFC]

We played well, looked rattled at times but we handled them for the most part. Fingers crossed for Phil, we need that boy <3

 

[bluemc1]

Mad init? I thought Haaland did well up top on his own he put himself about.

Foden is bonkers scored a worldy played ok.

The one thing that goes against Foden playing in the middle and this is nitpicking but it’s his size and lack of strength when players tight to him and getting shrugged off the ball but he’s world class and becoming a KDB level goal threat

Just shows how good David Silva to play in the middle at his size and nobody got close to him

 

[Sky Blue]

If I was a mod I'd ban your sort.

I've had the clown on ignore for yonks. At it again is he.

 

[mosssideblue]

Despite his age, Modric is still class

 

[TonyBookEnd]

Good result taking in the circumstances.
9 consecutive CL games scoring 3 goals. Hope for similar next week

 

[Big Jonjo]

Brilliant match and very good result. Much better second half performance, which we have Pep credit for. Rodri and Bernardo caught on the ball a few times in the first half and a few misplaced passes. 3 smashing goals from us and their 3rd was a smasher. I thought Haaland wasn't great, although he does occupy their centre backs. Anyway we have them at home next week, let's hope we can put in a repeat performance of last year's home match! Still buzzing!

They know they've given their best and if we play a 7/8 out of 10 and take our chances we beat them. They know if the crowd turn up and do their job we beat them.

 

[RobinHood]

Pep doesn't seem concerned about Phil. Here's hoping......

 

[Lauz9888]

Not our best performance, but a good result. Would have taken a draw before the game, no question.

Hopefully Phil's injury was just a knock and he'll be back very soon.

 

[City Raider]

Phil grumpy to be subbed! Great news

 

[Pep Guardiola]

They've not lost since October. Lost twice all season and are top of their league by 8 points.

Again, can I remind you, it's Real fucking Madrid. We just stuck 3 goals past them in their own patch.

What's going on in this place? Madness.

Girona was leader months ago. Girona!

Level in Liga low a lot 2-3 years ago.


Referees in Spain gave away them many games through theft.

The match against Almeria, for example, is historic. A robbery like this has never been seen in professional football.

 

[He’stheleftbackremember]

Did anyone else notice the difference in commentary when they scored compared to us? Sounded like a morgue when we scored. Can’t stand McManaman, why do they think because he played for us at one point he’d be a good pundit. He hates us, plain as day.
