Real Madrid (A) Post Match Thread

Here is a clip of a goalkeeper making a 65 yard assist. 6 seconds from keeper to back of the net. If it's a minimum of 3 minutes 3 minutes should have been played. He played 2.51. Yes I'm bitter!

I didn’t sleep a wink, kept seeing their players names in my head over and over. That’s got to be the worst result we’ve suffered in my days and I’m 57.
I just hope the players & Peps heads don’t drop but I fear they will and we’ll end the season with nothing, all the bullshit media against us time after time must surely be starting take its toll, I know it has with me.
Always a Blue but feeling down and out today.

Agree we were unlucky with Walker but jn terms of poor game management that is correct.Everything went well for 80 mins, we got the goal and that is when we should have started phase 2 of successful game management and started feigning injury, running the ball into the corners, tactical time wasting subs, etc. Guardiola should look at Madrid and how they managed the game in extra time. But if he is one of the so called greats surely he should know this by now ? Instead of running the ball into corners and time wasting we had the likes of Cancelo crossing the ball, which Courtois caught and they went straight up the other end and scored.Utterly abysmal game management ! These things are what make the difference and are part of the game.Our naivety has cost us yet again.

It was obvious (even to me) that all we needed to do was play keep ball, take no chances in giving the ball away and if necessary kick it into row z.
Crossing the ball straight to Courtois, well...

What match were you watching? I watched the one where there was 88 seconds between the two goals. First was his mistake and he compounds it from the restart by gifting them possession back, from which they score…just like he did at home to Liverpool a few weeks ago…hoofed the ball back and they score from the same play.

Only downfall in your argument is that Ederson was and continues to be one of the main reasons we can play the style and level of football we play, a style and level which has helped us win the last two PL titles (and hopefully a consecutive third) and get to the final and semi final of the CL. So without him we likely wouldn't be even playing the game last night for the mistake to be made in the first place. He is a human being not a robot, people make mistakes, he makes mistakes, we all make mistakes. He is probably in the top 3 keepers in the world, who else would you bring in who is, a) better than him, b) doesn't fundamentally change the way we play, in terms of him pretty much playing as an outfield player and allowing us to confidently break presses from the back? There just isn't anyone better. Everyone makes mistakes, even if you think he was to blame, surely he deserves more chances.

We all love Raheem, but is he ever going to become the deadly player in the box we anticipated ? He's another one who plays Pep's 'keep the ball on one side of the pitch to draw the opponents out of shape' to perfection. At his age, he'll want more game time.

Speak for yourself, I think he is an awful player and keeping the ball is exactly what he doesn’t do.
