wonder if the keeper got lottery numbers and should he of dived other way for kovacic penBut he didn't. Piss poor from Bernardo. He should've known better.
We’ve played Madrid 6 times in the past 3 seasons and I think we’ve out played them in every game bar one - the closest one was at their place last year which was a deserved 1-1Teams have been playing deep against us forever mate, at the end of the day our old defensive woes came back to haunt us, we scored 4 goals in this tie which should be enough but we shipped in 4 as well, and we've lost every single high scoring tie we've had in the CL, we either keep clean sheets or concede no more than two goals over two legs and we go through or we concede more than 2 and it's goodbye, that's our history in this comp.
The other day. When he was out walking John. ;)When did you speak to him mate?
We can if we want to waste foden out wide . It just doesn’t work.Can we be playing KDB & Foden in the same team ?????
I think we have played well recently when only one or the other has been in the side.
Atletico were even worse two seasons ago but we still won, why ? because we didn't allow them to score, we can talk about how deep Madrid were in the second leg but at the end of the day we still managed to score 4 times over two legs, that should be more than enough to go through, our defence cost us this tie and it's not surprising when we've had Dias and Walker play poorly all season, these two were the most to blame for the goal tonight.Teams have been playing deep but it got to the point now where 21 players are in the same box. We can’t find quality service to Haaland. Defence is a mess this season. Not sure what the problem is, maybe stones not getting a run out this term has something to do with it.
The transition against us is something we need to fix badly. It’s gotten out of hand this season.
Without being at our best we were the better team by a distance - forcing Madrid to park the bus. 33 shots and a pen that Bernardo will never repeat. Left everything on the pitch - effort magnificent. The lack of pre-season and the disruption with injuries to key players has taken a toll. We are still the best side in Europe. Came down to a lottery in the end.Im fairly philosophical about it. We lost by the slenderest of margins. The boys outplayed RM. We now go for the 4th title to break that record.
Our enemies will talk of a failed double-treble not realising they have to acknowledge we did the treble already.
RM were there for the taking though.
playiing 3 at back and sometimes even one of them pushed forward isnt helping teams stopped playing 3 at the back years ago because team played ball into corners and stretch defence out of position but who am i to tell pepTeams have been playing deep but it got to the point now where 21 players are in the same box.
