Real Madrid (A) Post Match Thread

[Two Gun Bob]

Pep will play a full Premier League game and not make a single substitution...outside of Walkers injury I'm baffled by the amount of changes he made tonight.

Don't wish to appear rude or disengenous but maybe a sniff of complacency with a sprinkle of human factor in thinking the game was in the bag.

A special thank you in dispatches to Mr Walker for his heroic perfomance on the field of play and an absolute credit to the squad. Also a quick memo to Mr Sterling with words to the effect that only ghosts can run through solid objects.

A bad day at Black Rock .. however onwards and upwards and tommorow is another day.

Well they do that a lot and we didn’t look like we knew it.

This is it for me too. We should have learnt from the first leg that they are difficult to bury. Each time we had a two goal lead they came back. We lacked intelligence for me today, the players on the pitch, there was no leader.

You'd expect him to save it though. I'm talking about saves that change the game

Courtois was awful in the first leg but you could argue he was a match winner for them tonight - I thought eddy could have done much better with one of the goals

My phone hasn’t stopped

Brother in law straight on to me.
Not when we were winning. After the two goals went in.

Jesus Christ on a bike.

You thought he was good? You think that was another match fucking winning performance from the invisible man? Jesus Christ on a bike.

Ah well... tbh that was annoying as fuck but its a cup. I don't really give a shit.

Lets hope the team can harness the frustration of that and put the league to bed.

We're going to find a lot out about this group of players over the next few weeks.

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

He did but the first goal changes the game and was 100% there to be claimed. Brave keeping is what we need.

Yes. It was a fuck up by him

 

[Moss Side's Finest]

I know he didn’t suit Peps style of play but I was at the Nou Camp when Joe saved us losing by a cricket score. That is what we need coupled with being brilliant with the ball. Ederson is always liable to let us down.

Utter bollocks, Ederson has been integral to pretty much all our success as a team under Pep. Stabbing him in the back because you're angry we got beat is a disgrace

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

It could be worse. At least we are not watching the rags every week!

Im hoping for an all english semi final in the chumps league next season against them.

And there it is “the players feel the pressure“ all about big game mentality,we have a soft underbelly in these games it’s not a coincidence..

I wouldn’t read anything into what he says post-match. He’s not going to give an honest assessment publicly.
