OMG WE LOST WE IZ GUNNA GET RELIGAITID!!!
I thought it was a brilliant day out.
In a game like this you should only take the positives and there were plenty. Firstly, I was amazed at how good the atmosphere was, the singing section in the East Stand was in full voice. From the away end where I was seeing, everything about the ground looked fantastic especially our fans. I really don't know why people complain about our stadium, it looks nice and sounds very loud and intimidating from the away end.
We played pretty well tbf - Bamba was amazing. If he was like that every game - we'd be on easy street. Defence in general looks good, I'd like to see Peltier in next week. Abe was very good as well, in truth the tacklers are always going to stand out more against Real Madrid than the creative players, but all the same, he showed great energy and tackling, he needs to be that lively and commited every game. We saw it at times last season but not as frequent as I might have hoped, but today was certainly the example of Abe at his best.
Out of the creative players, I was impressed with Danns. Skilful and hardworking. Schmeichel made some great saves for us. Howard did brilliantly when he came on. Amazing when Dyer scored.
Notes on Madrid - Benzema and Ramos were particularly brilliant, I never noticed Kaka was on the pitch, and Ronaldo was hilariously awful.
Absolutely buzzing for Cov away now!
