Real Madrid (A) Post Match Thread

The Gorilla in the living room is that our team is mentally weak.
We are aesthetically pleasing and technically superior to any team but we've been prone to getting blown away in short periods of games. That is and always has been Peps achilles heel against the very best teams in the CL.
Liverpool have done it to us, even Spurs, and now Real.
This team does not produce the 93:20 moment.
I love Pep but we folded like a sack of wet shit there at the end.

Its a big task now to win the PL after this but if we fold there too I think the implications are too horrendous to contemplate.

Still rather have Pep than that Gurning tool Klopp. Lets hope Don Carlo can get his 5th CL win.

I actually agree about mentality although I would use the word resilience. I am certain that LFC are not as good as our team but they are mentally stronger and have proved it time and again. This season they managed two draws against us in matches which we dominated. That doesn't happen by accident. Klopp is a big factor for them.
It is rare for City to come from behind to win matches. I don't think City are as resilient as some of our rivals. I thought our performace at Atleti suggested we had sorted this problem but I am not so sure now.
 
If you think we can win this competition without proper striker, we shouldn’t win one ever.
They had 2 shots on target in the first leg and scored 3 goals.On the other side, for our wingers to score, there should be minimum 6 shots on target for a goal.
We can get away playing with weaker opposition, but in these competitions where margins for error are so small, we can’t constantly miss chances.
 
No complaints about anything Madrid did. They did what they had to do and took advantage of corrupt officiating.
2:51 of time added with only 1 minute played at the end after over 6 minutes of stoppages was a joke. Compare that to Atletico where they added the full 9 minutes and played 13 to give them the best chance of getting back in it.
That’s before we get to the ignored yellows for Madrid and the ridiculous yellows for us. Never seen anything so fucking blatant.
Doesn’t absolve us of blame but it leaves a bad taste.

So disappointing. But that's football. We missed a lot of chances and we didn't have the strength to see it out. So close to getting the 2nd tonight which I didn't think we even needed. Credit to Real, what a team to keep battling back like that.


Can't help but feel we should have known what would come, because they did it to Chelsea. Maybe Ake needed to be used to deal with the crosses that were inevitable.

A defeat that will hurt but galvanise the squad eventually.

We go again Sunday. Pick yourselves up blues. We did it to Gillingham and we got our magic against QPR. What has happened is done and we go again.

Just six words, the story of our season. We score 25% of our missed chances this season and we'd have already won the league, probably be in the FA Cup final and be in the Champions League final.
Only one reason for this, piss poor recruitment again. Sergio hardly played two seasons ago and then left, we didn't replace when he was still here and missing games, and failed before this season started, we got away with playing with no striker two seasons ago, this season we haven't.

I’d rather Liverpool win the chanpions league (only if we win the title)

a, it will piss United fans off even more
B, English side v Spanish (which would Pis uefa off)
C, we win the title in an era of utter English dominance… Liverpool are a great side - they’ve had a relatively easy draw, winning your domestic trophy is the greater achievement and we have dominated that in an era of brilliance

Absolutely caveat that with us winning the league. I can’t think of anything worse than the dippers win the quad

No way should any city fan want Liverpool to win the chumps league unless it’s against u****d
 
You know what, for this time only - i would have lost the league to win the Champions league! There i said it.

Still would have stopped them scouse twats winning 4 trophies!

And would stop this “where’s your european cup” chants every fucking game
