Real Madrid post match post mortem

[bluemc1]

Haaland.... I just don't know how he gets picked. Ashamed to say it but he's just a non entity this year.

He’s absolutely shite at football

We just dominated Madrid with 10 men

What else could we do we left everything out there unlucky boys ctid

Probably means they rest v Chelsea. The starting XI v Chelsea could be anything.

Seemed to sum up the season that. They were dogshit but we couldn't get throug, wrong subs didn't help. Had no penalty takers left. Poor tbh

I am well aware it has been a City song for years and have been to the Etihad plenty of times, its just the irony, thats all!!

... Think you're overreacting a bit mate.

Stand firm. Keep the faith. 4 on the bounce and the double is still on. As you were.

I sincerely hope we get drawn in the same group with them next year or face them in quarters or semis

We are pretty successful with Paps approach. I don't think it needs too much tweaking.
Maybe decide what he wants Phil to do is a priority. Seems like he has waistcoats problem of shoe-horning Kev and Phil in the same team.
Sometimes football is cruel, tonight was one of those nights. The best team lost!

I get that. And im conscious that im teetering on the edge of madness. But its been a growing feeling for a while. Nothing stands still and as much as i love KDB maybe that tuff decision needs to be made. The king is dead, long live the king and all that…

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.

I think we have been suffering by playing the line as high as we do. This season we have been much more frantic for reasons unexplained as we insist on being attack, attack, attack. Unfortunately, that means teams sit in, Haaland is man marked all day and all night, the wingers can''t do anything and we are often hit on the counter due to our high line. The spaces are also removed because unless you have David Silva you are closed in on immediately. If you compare this to previous seasons, we would sit on the ball for 5 minutes or so and wait for the team to come onto us and pick them off through lightning speed counter attacks more often than not.

Just wanted to say that what Bernardo did works 99/100 times. Pen in the middle, when they virtually always pick a side. It is what it is. Bernie is one of out best players ever. Get a grip. Should have won it in 210+mins.

This is the only level headed comment here. I have no respect to this bunch of clowns cursing the penalty takers. They are basically guesses just like rock paper scissors game. It is only bad penalty if the ball was flying out. It is the players doing the 90 min and the extra 30 min to blame for leavening it to absolutely chances, who they don’t want to blame.
