Real Madrid (A) | Post Match Thread

[Tokyo32]

“Grealish and Bernardo didn’t offer enough. Gundogan making poor decisions.”

They worked their bollocks off, appreciate the gargantuan effort the players put in.

Surely you don’t disagree with that assessment

I thought the ref was ok. Lenient towards Carvajal and Rodri, didn't buy their daft penalty shouts after we equalised.

He missed the forearm smash by that thug Rudiger on Gundo though.

just going off the topic a bit are City coming home straight away, maybe a good idea would be get them over to the coast in the sun for a couple of days rest

Any idea why pep didn’t make a sub? Last time we played real they did the exact same thing. Started with Kroos and modric then brought on the youngsters to run at tired legs.

He made subs against Madrid last year a few minutes from the end, including Debruyne
Madrid scored the 2 late goals and then extra time.
I just think he ws happy to see the match out.
I'd have preferred a few subs myself though.

There are two posters in particular who smell a bit fishy in this thread.

But as I said in a post half the thread back; many need to watch that full 90 minutes back because their emotions of watching the game live has clouded their post-match analysis. They need to watch how good both teams were tonight with a different head on tomorrow.

Only two , it’s infested by them

An indication of how it was for me, 1 glass of red first half, none at half time, 1 sip second half, plenty since ;)

Cultured…Polar opposite for me.. 4 craft beers during.. bottle or red watching MAFS with the MRS after.

He was fucking shite, Carvajal already done the damage in the first half and set the tone for kicking fuck out of us, Rodri’s fouls were later on, gave advantage for a free kick on the edge of the area and constantly got in the way for both teams.

If he's happy with the performance, he's happy with the result, and his team are doing what he asked them to do he'd prefer to leave the eleven on the pitch than change it.

Utterly disgusting from BT sport here. Humphrey is a shite host anyway but outwardly posting this shit
