Real Madrid (A) Post Match Thread

[Manchester_lalala]

Just woke up. What an absolute shit show. First thing I read is how amazing the Madrid fans were. Ye the same ones who were all fucking off when mharez scored! Work will be fun today anyway

To be fair mate, they were very loud last night. Got to the point where I wish I had my AirPods with me so I could drown out the noise. It was torture having to stay behind watching them celebrate.

But all of our chances aren’t going to fall to him.

Many… maybe even most… of our chances will still fall to our group of poor finishers.

Then we will carry on missing chances then . The amount we miss is astounding and I don’t mean 50/50 but 80/20s . Last night was a. Lesson in killing the game .

Sorry but we did deserve to win tonight. They didn't have a shot on target for 90 minutes, you can't say they deserved to win it.

They don't hand out trophies for 'deserving' other than a junior school.

Didn't turn up, didn’t deserve anything other than what we got.

It's ironic that it's almost 10 years to the day since the Agueroooo moment. The incredible events of last night feel a bit like that - only in reverse.

With one big difference though: the joy created by the Agueroooo moment was far, far greater - and longer- lasting - than the acute, short-term disappointment caused by last night.

Perspective is important, we will get over it.

One thing I thought an hour later was how that twat Poolis must have felt in ‘99. I took some comfort in that.

The difference here is we can now go on and still have a successful season. Best team out of 38 games.

I think we need someone like Bellingham or Camavinga who give us pace in CM as well

Rice would be our gareth barry...much needed type of player in our squad. Breaking lines and shielding back 4 properly

Palmer was coming along nicely until his injury. Can’t expect a young player to be put straight into the first team in must win games after a period out. He needed to be eased back in and there hasn’t been the opportunity to do that.

Delap’s injuries have been very costly for him and City. It really did seem at the start of the season that Pep expected him to play a part.

That said, with a relatively small squad Pep does need to make greater use of the youngsters, but mainly at the start of the season not the business end.

I thought all of Pep’s substitutions made sense, at the time he made them. He’s used Fernandinho plenty of times in the last couple of seasons to see out games and it’s usually worked. The problem was that once we conceded the goals we just didn’t have the right balance to chase the game in extra time.

Ake for Cancelo when 1 up different game Cancelo a fantastic player but gives the ball away to easily.

Any lurking scousers want to buy a room at the ibis in Paris for 3x the price I paid?

Don't cancel it until the very last minute and then they'll have to pay extortinate rates

You know when we were reluctant to sign Ronaldo for 15 millions, this is the type of games he thrives on and he would have got us over the line. Keep signing characterless, nice, non aggressive and zero arrogance players and you get our yearly disasters.

Has CRap7 scored against any decent sides this season?

 

[Ancient Citizen]

What an absolute kick in the gonads that was, luck doesn't favour us this season,
but those attacks from what was a Real last ditch effort should have been repulsed.
Together with a fucking awful ref that should have yellow carded a couple of players twice
and an extra haif hours play resulting in us actually getting around 10 minutes,it's looking like we're cursed in this competition.

 

[Lavinda Past]

These type of posts embarass me more than the team playing today.

We lost because we conceded twice in injury time due to fucking carelessness and nonchalant defending, nothing to do with UEFA.

Don't get me wrong. We lost because we weren't good enough. That said, the referee was dreadful and showed bias towards RM players, and it was clear that he was doing us no favours in extra time.

UEFA won't lose any sleep over us being out.
