Real Madrid (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

[Eccles Blue]

Fuck me. TNT Just called us united.

TNT host introduces us as rags - perfect

I have moaned about the commentators but to be fair to the young lady she didn't get the full word out and it wasn't that bad compared with McCoist and his cohort.

 

[lefty goldblatt]

Haaland has better diction than slippy

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Ref didn't give the penalty......: Not Surprised
Ref didn't 2nd yellow Rudiger: Not Surprised

I was surprised VAR sent him to monitor tho..

Pep and his coaches really need to educate
our players when to go down and take the
free kick and get defenders on yellow cards,
particularly in Europe. We're constantly getting
yellows for fouls at lowest end, whilst opposition
making fouls at same level or higher not being
carded. [eg NOR Carded & Rudiger not carded].

It's not about diving or rolling around just stay down, force Ref to blow & yellow card opponent

Makes it sweeter when we beat them regardless but agree

 

[Citizen52]

We won't get any credit from the pro Real scousers on the coverage and I get that Alonso is under pressure but what a win. I can barely remember Donnarumma making a save all night.

This team is growing, Cherki the magician and Doku is developing into a top class winger nobody wants to face. I love O Reilly too, so composed and dependable and an honourable mention for Gonzalez in spite of a chasm between our team when they countered to the back line I thought he fought well at times.

Was a bit worried we might drop points with the subs but I get that Pep has to think about Palace and pleasingly we defended really well in numbers thereafter when we needed to.

 

[cleavers]

We have to remember madrid played their reserve team, and we were a bit fortunate.

Fuck off TNT.

 

[eyalluvitt]

You forgot Bayern, Arsenal and spurs.

& Wigan, Boro & Celtic

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Get a win against Bilbo Gimli at the North Pole and by my reckoning that will likely be enough for top 8.

Is that a relation of Bilboa bobbins from lord of the rings?

 

[simmo]

Superb team performance and deserving win.
Courtios made a few saves to keep it down to only two.

Referee gave little all night in our favour.

OReilly was everywhere.

A key win after the previous CL match.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Great interview Erling. Show 'em lad, show 'em all.

 

[RobinHood]

Whatever TNT (and probably the others) say, we won in Madrid. Doesn't matter what they say.

 

[roach3]

Why the fuck aren’t the TNT lot happy for a British team ??

probably cartel fans

 

[domalino]

I see the usual suspects on picking faults in that performance. FFS, we've just won at the Bernabeu. When we were watching us getting dicked by Wimbledon at Maine Road (0-4, wasn't it?) back in the third tier, we'd have given our left bollock for a night like this.

TBH I see the fact we just beat Real away while playing 7.5/10 is a massive positive. We're still growing as a team, and we showed a defensive grit and determination most fans didn't think this side were capable of 3 hours ago.

 

[johnny crossan]

TNT presenter exposed as a gooner girl - well well

 

[bert38]

Fantastic second half performance!!

 

[Bluesince1979]

We have to remember madrid played their reserve team, and we were a bit fortunate.

Fuck off TNT.

If theyd had any injuries im sure it would have been mentioned

Should of done better with their goal

 

[eyalluvitt]

Savinho played well when he came on

Found his level at last

 

[awest]

Fantastic performance by everyone on that pitch. MCFC OK

 

[ninjamonkey]

Can't wait to see the team when you're in charge.

What is the purpose of a comment like this? Are you suggesting we set up well? Or suggesting we aren't able to critique Peps decisions?

 

[chaddblue]

Is it just me or did anybody else think Bernardo intentionally got himself booked in the last minute so he would be available for the last game v Galatasaray?
