Real Madrid (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

[skillman]

We've won 2 of our last 5 home games against them and that was when we were the best team around

Eh? When did I say that? Or am I missing something?

 

[chaddblue]

I find it funny how people are ok with getting knocked out of CL because League is more important focusing on top 4 to quality for.........The CL

Probably because anybody with any sense knows that even if we’d have progressed tonight there is zero chance we are winning it

Rebuild and go again next season.

We are passed our peak with the current set.

I’d say we reached the peak of the mountain against West Ham on the last day of last season and the day after we were caught up in an avalanche on the way down and nose dived into mediocrity. FA cup final tell its own story.

Well the cunning plan to stop us shipping goals in the last 15 minutes almost worked. Take it easy for 75 minutes and then make a big push at the end. Only foiled by the referee only allowing 2 minutes at the end just as we were getting going!

 

[eyalluvitt]

At least we didn’t do a Brest and get done 7-0.

So they are now out of both cups?

 

[MCFC1993]

i dont agree with your statement. they came mid table and are beatable by the best teams in the premier league which we are very far away from

we havent beaten anyone decent for nearly a year - maybe Villa last April. our last win against a really top european level side was probably the inter final

Mate don't give any value to that 36 team table. Teams literally didn't give a fuck until the last 2 or 3 games. Atalanta finished 9th and got knocked out last night, fat lot of good that table was.

Your 2nd paragraph is the reason we shouldn't be surprised, transition season, the dicking was expected.

I think Savinho is colour blind, he kept passing to the referee.

I loved how Khusanov ran down Vinicius, I didnt realise he was that quick.

I ended up watching it in silence. I had to turn the commentary off. Crimson Clive Tyldesley on CBS was cringeworthy.

Same here with the commentary.

Wow completely ridiculous by the officials NO VAR check on a stonewall pen, We pretty much waved the white flag tonight and again mistakes killed us and the game. The truth is City have not got any full-backs and teams are dipping their bread facing us.

I hate watching us waving the flags and rolling over, We have world-class players letting us down and even the captain could not muster any desire to stamp some home truths because he was the main culprit, Also SIlva did not want to be out there in a City shirt.

The Senior Players have let the fans down tonight and was hard to swallow, If the game plan was worked on and players asked to perform it was given away after a couple of minutes with that Dias mistake

 

[normskih]

Both legs were really. The aggregate makes it look closer than it was.

We were never winning the CL this season.

Hopefully Madrid go on to win it.

Think I’d rather have PSG.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Defence is injury prone
Midfield is old and past it
Attack getting there

We need young hungry players to replace the old guard. Then we will see the old city.

We also need some experience and leadership.

 

[cleavers]

A fair score over the two legs. They should win it easy.

They weren't great in either leg for me, we were just shite.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Stones (amongst others) needs fucking off!

Bog off.

 

[Blue tiger]

One bright spot Khusanov got better as game went on. Other than that game went as expected.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Fuck the champions league and that turtle head

 

[eyalluvitt]

Absolutely no support and PSG were all over them.

I hear it was bouncing

 

[Norbert D]

Next time Pep, keep your pre game thoughts about your beloved Spanish teams to yourself. Footballs a mental game too you know!

Pep didn’t give a shit as he knew we were going out. Not good for us fans and risked a proper walloping. The 3-1 was a steal, will take it all day when you are set up to lose.

 

[Kippax1973]

We also need some experience and leadership.

Sorry we need a new manager it hurts but we do

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Think I’d rather have PSG.

Anyone who’s not English will do!

 

[MCFCFanTX]

A squad overhaul is needed. Too many players either injury prone (despite being really good), knackered (just physically not up for it anymore) or coasting (effort and body language poor). A lot of hard truths about this season will need to be accepted and resolved.

It is what it is. Wake up call. I'm sure the team (whoever the players are) will respond next season.

 

[sir baconface]

Phils had a bad season and tonight really made me start to question him. He’s a bit of a fucking coward.

He had a bazzing new haircut though.
