**** me i'm getting to old for this sort of nerve shredding games but please log in to view this image
Crazy game. Always good wiping the smile off Simeone's face. Ref allowed himself to get conned a few times but redeemed himself with voiding their penalty.
Tremendous result - utterly dire performance. That was ****ing pen all ends up: that said, I'm screaming at the telly as they're doing the check for their first that it was because of Matip. McManaman is the totally most bone-headed dickhead to ever pick up a mike - but he and that other commentator, wtf 'Griezeman was going for the ball". So was Mane when he nearly decapitated Emerson. Where is this intent come from for serious foul play? They're as ****-headed and the ****wits on The prem board when it comes to the rules of the game.
I really don't think the Jota challenge was a pen. Contact does not mean foul. That's not what the rule book says. Gimenez flings himself down, twisting as he goes and that's simulation. Should have booked him too.
One question. How long till Keita's agent comes out with a stinker of a comment about how unfair it is to his world class star who scored another worldie and then get blame. Naby la has one who's always good for sticking an oar in
Thought we controlled the game completely........for the first 15 minutes. If Greizman had not been sent off we would have been hammered. Just proves that the midfield you play against Watford may not be up to playing against the Spanish champions, who would have thought that. We should have played Fab from the start with Hendo and Kieta, then as Keita got tired/injured brought on Milner. Horrendous performance all over after the first 15 minutes, but a win is a win. Also Greizman will not be available for the return leg, so I assume Suarez will start. Should be interesting!!!
I actually had a brilliant stream tonight , basically rock solid with a top notch picture , which just made it even more nerve wracking
An African Smicer. Can't tackle in the defensive third, can't get the ball at all in the midfield third, and can't control the ball in the final third. Lightweight. And with Hendo and Milner in midfield as well tonight, didn't have one player who could kill the ball without looking at it, including a woeful Bobby dropping deep. Do we ALWAYS have to play 4-3-3? Can we not adapt during the game every now and again? When they went down to 10 we were still losing the ball in midfield. Got out of jail tonight, I'm telling you.
. My family and mates have all put me on ignore on Whattsapp for the night for continuously making that point. I'm shocked!
