What's so shocking about that ? he's the greatest league manager of all time, but the CL ? shits the bed more often that not with ludicrous lineups and tactics.

Piss off dickhead. He’s won it 3 times you daft twat.

2 with the greatest team of all time, since he left Barca he's only won it once in 15 years despite having the best team most of the time with Bayern and City, and it's not the fact that he only won it once in 15 years that makes him a bottler, it's the fact that he regulary makes baffling decisions which leads to those losses.

After Sav was picked I lumped on Madrid at 11/4.

Paid out at 2-0 and had hope of turnaround, but created nothing and was our worst since Barca 2016.

City attacks were half hearted, going through the motions.

We're not the best team in the world... live with it

 

[Middyblues]

Well that wasn't really the question. Haaland gets no service from midfield in open play. We can talk all day about how he's got three guys trying to tackle him on corners. No doubt about that. But he gets no love from anyone from the middle or wings. So he just stays static, gets angry, gets mopey and then pretty much disappears. Its not him, its our style of play.

I stated this when we bought him, he doesn't fit Pep's playstyle, now Harry Kane, he would have fitted us perfectly.

Whatever pal.

Khaldoon and Pep have gotten so much right in the past, it seems wrong to criticise.

I feel like I’m getting spoon fed baby food daily.

Someone explain why we have no midfield?? Any game, ever?

Please?

So what can we do? Nothing but moan and support the team. Which we will.

All I am saying is that we are at the point where I want to see progression again. Not excuses and poor performances from the coach to the players.

Why should we accept shit? Because we used to be shit? Well we used to be good aswell. I will accept that top level again. The club worked so hard to reach the top. Now we have won everything and the only way now is down. It doesn't have to be this way. A steady top level is achievable.

No it isn’t

United
Liverpool

It happens to every team

Only in Germany

To maintain the levels we achieved is impossible
You can’t replace David Silva, Sergio, Ya Ya, Kev with the flick of the cheque book.

Cherki will go part way to fill part of the void, but replacing truly world class players instantly is not achievable

We are not by any means shit
We just aren’t at the level of the last five years
That isn’t shit

Stop being a spoilt arse and face reality

More attractive - yes
More effective- no

Two words

Wayne Biggins

Get a fucking grip

 

[YaYa's Left Peg]

Nobody is going to pay him 300k in Europe, May get similar salary in Saudi

Who told you he was on £300k a week?

 

[Middyblues]

Did you really think that team tonight wasn't picked to hurt madrid tonight, he picked it to batter them, and had we had a player in the right place in the first 15 minutes, we might well have battered them, we put in three great balls across an empty six yard box before they scored, then fell apart when they did. I'd argue the Dias touch for the second goal won the game, if he hadn't deflected it, we were still in the game.

woulda coulda shoulda ... bollocks

 

[bluwes]

Whatever pal.

That’s your defence.. guilty as charged. Maybe change your user name until the next time your uncovered

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Four crosses across the six yard box in the first 20 minutes but nobody attacking the ball to tap it in.

 

[citymad]

Feel sorry for players like Bernardo who really seem to care. Just wish more players would have his heart.

 

[marpleman]

Jesus fucking Christ.

Nonsensical. The fact is that 5 of those "prime" players weren't there tonight. If he wasn't performing WITH those players then you might have a point.

You beat me to it

Well said

Nothing spoilt about it.

So many poor performances I didn’t get upset at 3.

The level has dropped. We have failed to replace great players. Pep is in the way out and hopefully the squad is built for the next phase. We ain’t a possession team anymore.

It’s broken for now.

 

[Middyblues]

I'll wait till he's had a new manager before cutting my losses with him

I agree with this

Not expecting it. probably looking for a backwards pass

 

[i kne albert davy]

It's going to be tough. It'll go one of 3 ways imo. We score 3 and take it to extra time. We come close but it ends 3-1, 2-0 etc. Or we get pummeled again.

Don’t give a flying now, it’s a free hit we go for it be a great night if we pull it off.

No you're right I'm mossad.
