Real Madrid (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

Largely pathetic showing over the two legs, and not a big surprise to the sensible amongst us.

We are at least a couple of levels off seriously competing for the CL and the prem.

I do think we need to stick with Khusanov from now until the end of the season, he’s a raw talent, and the only way we know if he’s going to make the leap is playing him week in week out.

Let’s get this done on Sunday and stop those unbearable fuckers from winning the lot.

Then we have to be ruthless about who we move on in the summer.

Dont have much time for Alexander-Arnold as a person, but he's always waxed lyrical about City. Remember him saying the 2-1 game was the best atmosphere he's ever played in and see's City as the biggest game. Enjoys coming to The Etihad. And to be fair, had the balls to leave the cult, despite knowing the shit that was coming his way.

Fair play.

Might get pelters but he seems like a perfectly nice lad who has never had anything but nice things to say about us. Would have him a heartbeat.

so not changed my point of view since last week- West Ham away just re-enforced it.
Think Khaldoon needs to tell Pep thanks for the memories and the glory, but time has run its course and time to say goodbye, and that includes all his coaching staff.
Identify who we want as the new manager and get them in early - I have no idea who but not another year of Pep - nothing will change - unless we just want the top 4 trophy and reached some semi finals or final only to overthink it and fuck it up trophy
Player wise and cant believe I am saying this but , Bernie let go, Stones let go, Dias transfer, Halaand Transfer, Philips let go, Kovacic Transfer, Saviniho transfer, Lewis transfer, Ake transfer, Foden given a right royal rollicking and told in no uncertain terms sort his shit out or transfer, (missing out on world cup may actually be the biggest Kick up the arse he can get)
Decide who we are bringing back from loan and actually integrate them into the first team, likewise the golden nuggets if any from the academy

not a rant, not a knee jerk just now weary of two years of meh and no visible sign of anything changing if Pep stays at the helm.

Not sure you understand football. I mean real world.. can't get rid of a manager and 12 players. Takes years unless it's Football Manager on pc
 
That’s the level of fight and commitment we need. They’re capable of it and we need to see it more. We lost it last week, not tonight.

Khus fantastic. What a player he’ll be with more experience.

On to Sunday, don’t over think it please Pep. Just take the handbrake off and fucking go at them.

A special fuck off to the club and especially Soriano, you tourist chasing ****. Loads of plastic Madrid fans in our end again, coupled with the phone wankers it really is testing me. That said, the actual blues there tonight created a great atmosphere.

Long-term City need to bank what if felt like tonight losing vs Real Madrid and go and put it right next season
Also, the League Cup final is now a game we must turn up and play and win and beat Arsenal

We deserve a bit of luck on sunday and we all need a win to get rid of this shit feeling

Absolutely. 100%

Of course he would, because we're signing him in July. Didn't you see Pep joking with him at HT saying "Are you sure you still want to come here?"

:)

The state of this , we have brought in ten players and this "fan" wants to get rid of the manager and another ten players , perhaps you should calm down immediately after a game and think things through because what you have posted is absolute drivel.

Spoken like a true blue
 
Proud of the team today but it just didn't happen for them. Over the two legs Madrid were better but we had a go.

We looked angry at what we had become, and wanted to put it right. If we can harness that attitude for the rest of the season, we may end it in a good place.

I know its a random one and probably going to get some stick for it but one player who we really need at the moment and are missing badly is Phil Foden at his best. I'm actually quite annoyed at what the fuck is going on with him, £250K a week, 25 years old and completely disappeared off a cliff for us when we need him most.

Theres no way Reijnders is ahead in the pecking order of a fully focused and in form Foden. Where has that player gone and what is happening with him?

He doesn't show it when selected, and presumably doesn't in training either, all on him for me, but I agree we are missing hist "best".

Stopped reading with those two whoppers.

Why what has Foden done for 18 months ?
Rodri is class but if we could get a decent fee for a player whos best days are behind him and invest it wisely im not against him going.
We were guilty of being too loyal to Gundo,Kev and a few others.
