Real Madrid (H) | Post Match Thread

It's a case of shudda, cudda, wudda mate. Ultimately there were 2 players bearing down on the penalty area who Laporte & Zin were rightly covering.

If Laporte had gone across & Vini had crossed to Benzema & the other Real player instead of shooting, I'm pretty sure Laporte would have been crucified if we'd conceded from that situation for not holding his position.

Sometime's you've just gotta hold your hands up & admit Vinicius's goal was sheer brilliance from meggin Fern, the speed & control shown & the finish past Ederson.
No both Laporte and Alex both covered Benzema, their right winger wasn't up with play. It was Laporte who should have gone across.
I've watched it back this morning
 
You are bang on there even pub defenders don't let a player run free into the box and have a shot. The excuse that he may have passed it to another player to have a shot is laughable. As soon as he sees that player clear and dinho Dias and rodri behind he must make a diagonal run and let Zinchenko pick up his player. You should also question why both Dias and rodri were so high when a 36 Yr old is marking a rapid player. Having only laporte and zinc deep enough is amateur hour. One clever movement by a single player on the touch line near the halfway line shouldn't leave any team that exposed.
Just on Fern trying to nick the ball , he had just done it for our third goal. Vini was done on that occasion but was wise to it for their second. Swings and roundabouts
 
The pass would take as much skill to execute as the finish. You can't presume that if he failed in one he would have been successful in the other. The defender was between the 2 so he would have had to pick a perfectly weighted pass between the defender and the keeper. At the end of the day we scored 4 goals in a CL semi. The fact that gives us only a slender lead away in Madrid is down to defensive deficiencies.
It really wouldn't, it was a simple square pass. He took a shot on with his weak foot at a ridiculously tight angle trying to beat one of the best keepers in the world at his near post.

It was a selfish, idiotic and pathetic decision.
 
so any of Liverpool's front three could have done that , it is a fallacy that they score every opportunity
I've never seen anyone suggest they score every opportunity?

But I agree, in the unlikely event anyone did say that, they'd be wrong.

It's not a one-off for Mahez, he consistently makes stupid decisions

This is the option Mahrez had. Not gonna have a go at him for choosing to shoot - he just marginally sliced it going for top corner
