I thought we were getting fucked. Benzema was off on the first pass. No idea what the fuck they were playing at for the actual goal because Robinson had him onside. Shit show VAR, obligatory refs a cunt.

I thought that but they didn't really show it ?

All they're doing is sitting back like a fucking better version of spurs. We looked mentally tired there last 15. That disallowed goal was a fucking comedy of errors and we got lucky it was cancelled. Big half time for the boss. 

Despite the similarities, I’m not sure they’re better than Spurs. Ancelotti’s brand of ultra-negative football really does cause us discomfort time after time though.

Fucking hell.

 

The game would have been 100% over if the goal had been given - just like 2007, against another dour Ancelotti team. On top, chances gone begging and hit with a sucker punch. Worse than being smashed to shit and going in 3-0 down.

That's quite a spin on what was, one moment of poor defending aside, a decent first half performance from us.

It's hardly an encouraging time to do it, but unless Mo finds a way to wriggle past the pair of defenders who are always on him then it's a waste of time him being there.

 

Trent's weird recent habit of passing 'blind' - I just don't get it. Has he seen Thiago's 'no look' passes and fancies trying the same? If so, he hasn't studied the master well enough. He's wasting possession. 

 

I think Diaz can cause chaos if he backs himself more and uses his pace. At the moment that's probably our best chance.

Scary final few minutes. They took so long over that decision that I was scared it was going to be given and the offside rule is so fucked these days that some officials probably would have. Utter shambles from us as it should have been easily cleared before that but our players all got in each other's way. It would have been reminiscent  of the 2007 final with Milan had it counted as I remember us completely controlling the first half then and going behind to a suckerpunch goal right at halftime. We looked all at sea in the last couple of minutes after that and it was a relief that halftime came.

 

But before that we were all over them and it was really frustrating that we didn't make it count. Great save from Courtois from Mane's effort but so much luck also involved. It could have hit the post and gone in, bounced back in off the keeper, or rebounded to one of our strikers, but instead it hit Courtois but not with enough pace for it to be an issue. 

 

For all our firepower though we've now gone 285 minutes without a goal in the 3 finals combined. Need someone to become a hero and win this.
