Villarreal (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Good away win in Europe, shouldn't take it for granted, especially to a side that last lost at home in March and is 3rd in Spain.

Very sloppy 2nd half which Pep wont be happy with but did enough and managed to salvage the clean sheet as well.

Proper snooze fest from us in the second half and we were fortunate not to suffer squeaky bum time

 

[Gabriel]

Played within ourselves, like a team pacing itself for the long haul.

 

[Aguerooooooo93:20]

Well managed Blues.Three points in the bag.


RIP Guy and condolences to all of his family and friends.

Overall, that was a really solid performance. Villareal is a good team and always good in cup games.

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Good 1st half, brilliantly worked team goals but we were horrible in the 2nd half.. especially after Nico Gonzalez went off.

Hope it's not too bad.. but that shows how important Nico is to our team defensively!

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Hurrah

That was an energy saving exercise. Did what we needed to.

Villarreal were awful!

At the end of the day, it’s a win, it’s nine games unbeaten, twelve games in a row scoring for big Erl and a goal for our captain.
We move on!

 

[deano ou812]

Brilliant first half second just going through the motions,clean sheet as well..

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Good away win, managed the game but we really need consistency for 90 mins. The top teams won’t let us catch our breath after HT, we need to come out fully focused

 

[Fordyboy46]

Solid if unspectacular, we can improve

 

[jamesha]

Fucking woman and her shit talk on TNT - they would never talk that way about dippers or rags - they hate it when we win

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Never out of 3rd gear and should shut up some of the dull twats in the pre match thread.

As comms said, with players coming back it doesn’t bode well for opponents coming up. We are solid.

 

[NptonBlue89!]

Good first half, bit of a non event second half, as fans it’s easy to moan about how we went off the boil, but I suppose in the heat, conserving energy for Sunday and changes we should complain to much

 

[dickie davies]

Nunes was superb.
Big Erl 12 in a row.
Next!!

And we're all singing Erl is 12 in a row

Job well done and really important 3 points. Need to do the same against Villa. 2 half was pretty poor ,high pressing seems to hurt us quite a bit atm and definetly will see it more from bigger and stronger teams. Pep needs to sort this one out.
