This is a good point actually. We have arguably been the best side in the world since 2017, and have no european trophies to show for it. Our planning, structure and financial muscle should assure us being up there for the forseeable but it really have been a huge missed opportunity.I still can’t believe we are not in the final.
We through away these opportunities time and time again.
Just imagine next year if it’s a better PSG or Bayern. Can’t explain why we keep wasting such great opportunities. It’s suicide every time.
Wasn’t bad luck and and a corrupt ref it was a fucking disgrace and there should be an inquest into it . Laporte a major player in our demise . Cancelo is a defender who can’t defend . We have no striker and if bringing sterling on to save us is our play then we have problems . I now expect us to shit the bed and lose the title as Liverpools quadruple will happen .
The thing is we WERE two goals up with minutes to go and still lost
They wont need motivating. They now will be ferociously wanting to win the PL or its all a seasons work for nothing. They wont want that will they.Pep will have them motivated for Sunday. If not then we have much bigger problems.
honestley cant remember any worldie hes pulled off. hes made odd saves he should make ....but worldie????He gets away with it as we often dominate most games so he's rarely called on. He does pull off the odd worldie but I look at some goals he lets in and think, how?
I hear you, he definitely gets an easier ride then others.
He was poor tonight and by his lofty standards he’s not had a great season. I don’t think playing false nine in large parts has helped him.
Frustrating night to say the least.
I think we really really gave it all ...fuck me almost beat Real Madrid away...away FFS id have bitten your hand off ...course pep fucked up tonight
grealish…. that game because they were chasing was made for sterling or even jesus staying on but pep went defensive..
i’m not a sterling fan.. but grealish had them chances because they were chasing but think sterling over grealish anyday!!!! and that’s why i’m saying poor subs by pep!and yet grealish caused far more problems in the time he was on today than sterling has done for about 3 games
They may be motivated but will they have anything in the tank. He’s gonna have to rotate a lot for Sunday and hope we can get the 3 pointsPep will have them motivated for Sunday. If not then we have much bigger problems.
Hope Benzema stuffs them

I’ve only looked at aymeric as a back up option within our centre backs including Ruud Gullit (Ake). Looking back I wish Ake would’ve partnered Dias tonightThere is no chemistry between Dias and La Porte.
Not making excuse for Dias, but La Porte situational awareness under any sort of pressure is shocking. He is an accident waiting to happen. We get away with it most weeks because most teams don't have the ability to hurt us.
We had that Dias/Stones partnership where we went a dozen games without conceding even a Goal. La Porte returned from injury, Pep broke up the partnership and chemistry and we started conceding Goals again.
Really don't rate La Porte never have.
Just thought.. that’s twice we’ve been winning there with no time left and lost the gameI think we really really gave it all ...fuck me almost beat Real Madrid away...away FFS id have bitten your hand off ...
Don’t talk shit. Motivation is a huge factor in any sport. You need to be more motivated than your opponent. Any successful team or individual has that. Motivation comes from within but top managers/leaders make you realise it when you need it most.If you need someone to 'motivate' you to win an elusive title, you need fucking off.
That's just a ridiculous thing to say!
Same with Lloris and Schmeikel, for saving games.100%. I struggle to name a game Ederson has won for us with saves. I can name about ten this season de Gea has for them
He’s not good enough at stopping shots. Simple.
I agree about Laporte but also I don’t think Dias is as good as we think either. Stones is head and shoulders our best centre back.There is no chemistry between Dias and La Porte.

Im sure the atmosphere for tge players was unreal. The tension..i know the best cope but it must take something to keep trying like the lads did today.I don't think it's simple but we managed the game against Atletico we should have been more than capable of doing so here. I'm not sure anyone here has forgotten any of our records, they aren't relevant to today's performance anyway.
