Real Madrid (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

I'm with Joe Hart, we're still in this.
Nah, it's done. Don't see the point going all out to try and win the tie, not when there are more realistic accolades to chance and achieve.

And Joe has to say it; TNT want us all to tune in for the next tie.
 
We will win something you said. Where has the if come from?
On the basis of us playing so majestically??

We've just been humbled by Madrid, humbled by Forest a week ago but yet you still think we will turn over a bang in form Arsenal and edge past Liverpool who will be bang up for it as always against us.
 
My feeling on the pitch was that we started the game well.

"The environment we could not control and I think my team let the emotions change the game. We felt comfortable and were finding the right spaces but after conceding the first one we lost completely the control, we stopped controlling transitions and second balls. When you play against Real Madrid with the quality they have you pay the price.

He’s spot on.

Hey @LangleyBlue1970 knows his football. He said we'll win something. Now he says If. He's got me worried.

We were not humbled by Forest FFS.

We drew a game after 6 wins on the bounce. It happens. We played pretty well, got denied 2 blatant penalties and they scored a wonder goal backheel from nowhere.


Humbled ffs.
 
There is venting and then there is being a complete smacked arse as though we’ve done nothing before. Some of the so called support is diabolical. There are ways of venting.
Some people vent by slagging off the under-performing team.
Other people vent by slagging off the people slagging off the team for slagging off the team.
I think I know which section you are dropped in :)
 
City and Pep were completely shown up tonight, the way Madrid just run through our midfield at will was very difficult to watch. The set up was wrong Pep should have gone with double pivot of Rodri and Gonzalez from the start.
Don't think he has yet, has he? In fact he doesn't seem to fancy Nico G at all. Another 50/60m, what was pre-purchase research like? And we could ask the same about Reijnders.
 
That Valverde performance is probably the best one player has played against us in living memory. The ****
 
Speaking about recent history not ancient history.
We have to accept that as good a Manager is in the Premier League his record with us in the Champions League given the players and resources we have had is very poor. 1 trophy to date is poor. Invariably our failures have been down to his bizarre team selections at critical points
 
We don’t need to replace the greatest manager of all time. We need better players.

Biggest mistake we have ever made is not getting Declan Rice. We need to find someone as close as possible to that energy and drive in midfield.

We need two proper fast full backs that can defend and stop crosses.

And bin off Savinho and Doku and buy the two best wingers that money can persuade to move regardless of cost.

Do at least two of those three transfers and we win stuff again next season.

We need the greatest manager ever to understand that the other team is out of his hands and stick to what he knows best, STOP overthinking about the opponent's manager and players. Just pick a team to beat them ? or dont lose

Football is the simplest of games, but some people believe that it's all about the ball with 11 players and systems
But the truth is... It's all about goals ? goals scored and goals conceded, it's that simple, The fans could not give a fuck about style or skill if the results goes their way

I think we have found Pep's weakness and its 2 legged ties and finals ? They give him nightmares because he stops thinking about his team and players, far too much respect is given to the opponents and he wants to stop them instead of just playing his best team and letting their manager change his style
