Real Madrid Vs Manchester City Post Match Thread

[Rammy Blue]

Just watched the 3rd Real goal again and I reckon Vince was scared of getting a touch on it and deflecting it past Joe and thought that it was heading towards central goal and therefore saveable, which it was except for Joe thinking Vince was going to block it, plus the dip on the ball.

One of those things.

Bastards.

After analyzing the game, Nastastic shouldn't have played. He almost sucked.

I thought he was very promising and gave me a lot more confidence than Savic ever did, look assured especially on the ball.

Given the first half, if we'd got anything out of that it'd have been a mugging. We need to find a swagger for cl games, quickly. Chins up, its early days yet and the hardest task is over.

Idiot...

Aguero: If Madrid had been interested in me I'd be playing here. I had no choice but to join City.

Pfff??

I find it hilarious how people are being told by the happy clappers to 'get some perspective' for basically echoing what Joe Hart said in his post match interview. Someone should let him know that we got beat off Stockport County 11 years ago. I'm sure that'll cheer him right up.

It's this 'we went to the Bernabeu and gave it a go' lot that need some perspective. We are the CHAMPIONS of England, we threw 2 sloppy goals away in the last 5 minutes. Go and ask Yaya if he's proud of that display.

It's alright. Joe only holds those views because he's a 14 year old glory hunter.

one question please. why did we only start with Tevez up front? surely against a side that swarm like bees, we needed more options up front. he kept on having to double back to get the ball and try running through the wall that is their midfield and defence.

Agree. We were just unlucky at a vital moment. Had he tried to block it, it could have deflected it into the net. It was just unfortunate that hart was unsighted so in effect he was dummying it.

think we really missed milner tonight

Agreed, I think he would have performed better than GazBaz in the same role (which he CAN play before anyone starts) and thats not me slagging GB just think maybe his time is drawing to a close and Milner for me is his natural (but more importantly) more energetic replacement.

People have been slaggin the defence but some have in my opinion correctly identified that there was no closing the ball in midfield. This allowed Real time to pick their passes where our creative players were harried the minute they got the ball. Either Bob got it wrong or we lacked energy something I think Milner has in abundance.
