Real Madrid - Champions League (A) 6/4/21 - 20:00

[an tha]

That was grim.

 

Zero intensity.

 

Riddled with mistakes.

 

Disjointed.

 

An absolute mess, individually and collectively.

 

Midfield just awful...offering nothing going either way.

[Elite]

Just seen the replay of the foul on Mane not given, VAR is a fucking disgrace and not fit for purpose.

At long fucking last. Keita is by far one of the worst signings we've made. 

Pound for pound he’s the worst for me, you could argue Carrol or Acquilani but I’m going for this chump.

[s(k)aturation]

 

Not a shot on goal. 

 

Oh for the good old days of a few months ago, when the front 3 were "the problem".

 

 

 

[Leyton388]

So which one of our players have a concussion this time?

One thing Bobby brings is very good pressing. Which he gets more or less no credit for. Not saying Bobby has been great this season, cause he hasnt, but we definately wouldn’t have given them such an easy job if he was on the field.

Jota isn’t worst at pressing as Bobby IMO. 

[Rotpeter]

Was Keita injured?

[Scooby Dudek]

Every player looks scared, we seem to be in awe of Madrid, why ? 

When Gini and Fab are giving the ball away for fun, something is seriously wrong mentally. 

Definite foul, how the fuck is VAR not seen that, not looking at the ball, runs towards Mane and pushes him in the back. Possible red.

[Halcyon Days]

Decision in City game a disgrace there, should be 1-1

[Duff Man]

Bizarre decision to play Keita, unless there's fitness issues we don't know about. When was the last time he completed 90 minutes and looked good?

[Special K]

Keita should never play for us again. He's absolutely shite.

 

To be honest, you could say that about anyone after that

The players have been embarrassing, but Klopp knows it's his fault, taking Keita off after 40 minutes. Admitting he made a mistake. 

 

By the way, the people who shit on Firmino constantly, I'm not saying he's good all the time, but this is what you get when you have 3 similar players up top who all want to play in behind, against a team that has technical ability and that want to press. You get long balls and no relay between midfield and attack.

A valid point. 

 

Plus, would Kroos have as much time on the ball to pick out balls over the top? 

[an tha]

This is the midfield Villa overrun isn't it...

No just shit.

First off, mcmannaman's a cunt. Second, mcmannaman's a cunt.

 

Now Ive got that off my chest, we've been poor. Misplaced and under hit passes all over the shop. You know things arent good when Jota's hardly in the game.

 

Mo and Sadio flunking their auditions but, how mcmanacunt thinks that wasnt a foul on Mane is beyond words. At least the ref doesnt get 2 or 3 looks at it. They said VAR looked at it but I think that's only whether it may have been in the box?

 

Their first goal was well taken and had been on the cards. Even if Virgil had been playing, that ball from Kroos and finish by vinicus(?) would beat any defender. Trent simple has no fucking excuse though, heading a ball like that across your own box?

 

Hate to say it but Keita was just fucking anonymous during that 44 minute cameo. Jurgen says he was in because of his training, it's like Jurgen believes Naby still has a role to play here and sorry, he clearly doesnt. But Naby wasnt the only anonymous one out there that half.

 

We look jaded which isnt surprising considering our chums at the PL had us playing saturday night while Real played earlier. Oh, and their league allows 5 subs while the small minded shithouses in England say oh your 5 subs are better than our 5 so we'll only let you use 3 in any league game. Fuck off you small minded cunts, you dont mind hanging on our coat tails when it comes to domestic and overseas tv money.

 

Massive uphill task to stay in the game now because Real will surely try and press home their advantage while we look a bit battered.

VAR saved us from a stone wall penalty.

 

We are lucky to have 0-2. Nervous boys against men. Worst european performance I can remember.

 

Klopp has missed completely with tactics and team. A disgrace.

[M_B]

We like to give teams a head start. It's the way we do things.

[El Rojo]

The fact that we spent £53m on Keita means we’ve felt obliged to use him in some way, or at least not let his value fall too much. 
 

That’s worked out brilliantly. 

[Red_or_Dead]

I think Keita now officially becomes our worst ever signing.  Strolling around like he didn't care.

 

I think the Barca fans watching this looking at Gini will be saying NO THANKS!

 

 

 

 

[Daisy]

It was a blatant foul on Mane but we got away with a couple of decisions that Premier league VAR would have defo fucked us with

Midfield aren't pressing. Bobby has been stinking the place out. 

 

If the 3 in midfield weren't serving this shite up against 3 oul lads we'd be fine

Yep, Klopp gave him the task, Keita made a fool out of him.

 

Klopp NEVER subs before the hour.

 

Keita is finished here.

 

 

 

 

He did the same thing to Lovren and he was here for years. If the club can’t get a good price he will be here until his contract runs out.  Players as injury prone and so woefully bad as him don’t attract buyers either.  That’s not even factoring in clubs having less money because of COVID.

They haven’t been the problem tonight, the whole team has. But all theee have been poor, especially Salah and Jota.

[dandyman]

The very reason VAR was brought in was for shit like that Vasquez barge on Mane

 

Its a clear red and the VAR bottled that
