Real Madrid (A) Post Match Thread

He also says Foden and grealish are not ready for top level but wants Palmer and ward lol
Where did I say that about Palmer?

I said he would have made more of an impact than Raheem last night. He's one for the future, possibly 2 years time.

Foden and Grealish are a distance from being top class, give them more time to develop their games and you'll see very good players. Neither should be a regular starter in big games imo (including for England) they're overrated at the moment, but will improve.
 
It's revisionism at best mate.

How many goals are enough?

One more than an opponent, every time, that's all it ever takes.

Scored six against Monaco, four against Spurs, five against Madrid...

Two games with Sergio.

A striker makes the difference when the games are tight, not when you are conceding five against Monaco, five against Liverpool, four against Spurs, six against Madrid.

It's a collective mental issue in the biggest moments.

Platt used to say Dzeko scored 'heavy goals' which is what I think people are trying to argue we don't have, but five goals across the two ties with Madrid hides the fact our defending was pathetic.
Respect your opinion and to a degree you are right but 1 or 2 chances taken earlier in the game would have killed it.

Plus, taking your argument in PL terms a single goal against Southampton or Palace would mean a 3 or 5 point cushion now.

Mark my words I am still convinced that in one of the remaining games we will struggle to convert chances again and a top striker would be the difference.

Hopefully we learn from this and don’t have another poorly thought out transfer strategy in the summer a la Kompany replacement and Kane pantomime.

As I said, respect your opinion but I have mine and only time will tell. Putting the ball in the net not only changes results but also perception.
 
Ederson in the top 3 keepers in the world, he's nowhere near that level, he was a novelty when he arrived with his passing ability, he's regressed massively, he's become complacent, he very rarely makes saves that he shouldn't be making, he buckles in the big games, any manager bar Pep would bench him.
The only thing more laughable than this post is the fact that 3 people liked it. Utterly deluded. Name 3 keepers who are better and would suit our play
 
Sorry if already covered, I've only just summoned the courage to come on here and haven't trawled through 250 pages but...does anybody know the expected goals stats for both sides over the 2 legs? I would imagine it's something like 8-4 and just goes to underline the desperate need for a top-class striker or two.
XG according to the Internet was MC 4.38 to RM 4.28 over the two legs.
 
Look to the future, don't get stuck in the present. It very quickly becomes the past.

There's a steep cliff on the horizon, we have to be prepared for a future without Pep
You’re having a shocker fella. You’ve made a complete tit of yourself. Have a rest.

Ederson isnt even top 3 in the premier league. He’s a below average shot stopper which as Liverpool and United show makes a huge difference.

His play outside the box, coming off his line is good. with his feet hes the best ever.

but is it enough?
