Real Madrid post match post mortem

[Tricky_Trev]

Surely if you’re going to clip it down the middle, you are supposed to at least create the illusion that you’re in fact NOT going to do that? Like maybe you run aggressively at the ball to make the keeper dive a little earlier, before slowing, letting him commit first. Or maybe you really exaggerate opening your body up as if you are going to the corner. Bernardo just trotted up exactly like he was going to do what he did, I don’t understand how stupid it was, from such an intelligent player. Like surely you have to do SOMETHING to encourage the keeper to dive?

TNT going on about bellingham
He was average as hell tonight

Again. Dodged a bullet where that fucker's concerned. Absolute media myth of a player.

Gundo would have scored. Outside the box, inside the box, back post and front post. Gundo would put 2/3 past them. Gundo is such an intelligent second striker and midfielder.

He too struggled with packed defenses at times. He would have been more reliable penalty taker; although he too has missed at few at City.

5 years of going hard in every competition, We all need to calm down and take it like winners and champions.

Treble winners
Super cup
World club trophy

Not many teams in world football can stand up to what we have done and achieved and still be going for more

Well said Steve.

Fuckin tripe posted on here is laughable.

This team have been on it for the last 4 seasons, they deserve a bit of slack.

I like how you only quoted part of my post.

I literally said he's not the erling from last season.
He's could score 20 in his next game to pad the "stats"..
He's been shite .
Admit it.

Bollocks. 38 goals or so, so far and that's shite? Get a grip. Why don't people understand that as other teams and players get used to how you play they find a way to combat it so it gets harder. Don't tell me you're one of those idiots who expected him to get 50 every single season?

I have to say Haaland is really letting us down in the big games. Doing absolutely nothing. You don’t sign and pay all that money for someone to simply occupy the opposition defence and make space for others. At times last season he was unplayable but most teams seem to have worked him out now and he is being completely nullified.

RIGHT, Straight to the naughty step for you

We lost giving it our all tonight and YES players who have played tonight carry all sorts of knocks and are not fully fit but still given it their all

All day fucking long. Bury the fucking thing.

bury the **** in the crowd that delayed bernardos penalty

Bringing on Alvarez killed us. No coincidence we suddenly couldn’t get the ball to Doku.

Ultimately we are mature enough to know you take your chances in this tournament or you go out.

Did anyone actually think we could win on the penalties?

No though we all had a shock with Eddies save before Bernie took a shocker.
Alverez sadly is a squad/ bench player at best, been no where near our levels all season but Haaland has been poor also, we could certainly use a 3rd option from the bench in the main strikers role.
Sadly our finishing has been poor all season, cost us home points v Dippers, Spurs etc and again tonight. Just not enough actual scoring threat in the team and we are so awfully bad at set pieces. Did we even work the keeper from any tonight.

Think it was more to do with being frigged at the end

keV hasn't looked like he has 90 mins in him for 12 months, let alone 120.

 

[lee one pen]

No idea what was going on with the ball

Some daft twat tried to keep it as a souvenir
