Real Madrid (A) Post Match Thread

This squad need to be refreshed in summer, also need more young players from academy in squad.

Totally agree…no blame attached to Sterling at all but did anyone think he would change the game or snatch a goal.
The disappointing thing about Pep is his mistrust of the young players.
Not going to criticise him for the substitutions because no one could have predicted what was to follow…but we needed forwards who could open up defences once Mahrez had gone off and we had conceded the goals ….Palmer should have been given a chance.
We had completely ran out of ideas and we needed some dribbling ability on the pitch to try and open them up.

I know how Gillingham felt now and it’s horrible.

Reprimand.?

UEFA will knight him for that performance.

I meant Fletcher for calling it out ;-)

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.

Remember when we made it to a semi final twice and a final in the last 10 years. Remember when we got out of the group stage 8 years running? Yes, we've lost, but its a cup competition. Shit happens. We were fucking epic at Atletico. We were fucking epic at PSG last year. We were good for 179 mins this year. Its not mental. It's football.

That doesn't matter though
Fact is we can't get over the line and that's a mentality issue aswell as bent officials.

Liveprool do these.....easily

WE CANT THROW AWAY THE FUCKING TITLE

Presumably on that basis they would have done us even more easily?

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Remember when we won 14 games in a row to win the league?

That's exactly what I have to do - Remember it.

Hope Haaland was out pillaging villages rather than watching that or he might do a u-turn in his longboat.

I don't wanna believe it & I know we have come from behind ourselves a few times to prove the opposite, but with the amount of times we have been in relatively sure positions only to throw it away when it seems impossible... Are we now just a team of mercenaries with no soul? Is it just our relative inexperience at the upper echelons of football? I do hope & feel that it is the latter *suicide watch* :')
