In all seriousness though, if we can keep it tight and nick a goal, heading back to Anfield with an away goal isn't a bad result

Think it's more likely RM will bag another one or two more and kill the tie off.

Anfield means **** all other than playing on a better pitch, still no average or above cb, no Henderson

That was shocking. Madrid weren't even good, we've just been terrible

 

[BaZ87]

For all the hype around our so called revival and Nat Phillips cult hero status, our inability to defend long straight balls will continue to cost us. 3 times before the first goal Phillips misread the flight of long balls and nearly got caught out and its going to keep happening until we have CBs better than League 1 standard.

Well I can't see how we could play any worse in the 2nd half.

I can't find a single positive in our performance so far

Yeah sorry, I was more pointing out that an away goal would be handy

Lucky to get in only 2-0 down. As mentioned above, Real are just hitting the diagonal over the midfield like Villa did over and over again. If we don't change the formation this will be a hammering.

 

[Maundie]

Just seen the disallowed goal, what the hell has the referee seen there!!!!

Ali still has the world's filthiest tache. Best thing I can come up with

The ref has robbed Dortmund of a goal. Also, Rodri faking being hit in the face was laughably cheating of the highest doucheness and he should have been booked for simulation.

 

[manic111]

At least we're not City - just seen some highlights and I think Rodri's been shot? Awful scenes

Was that subject to a VAR check? Looked a legit goal to me.

 

[Tombstone]

Here we go...AC Milan/Barcelona style comeback now

We haven't conceded enough yet!

 

[Mark1989]

I'd be confident of that if we had fans at Anfield and if we hadn't just low 6 in a row at home!

Apparently the ref blew up before letting him score, so VAR couldn't give a goal

Whistle went for a foul before Bellingham scored so they couldn't refer to VAR.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Get in!

Thiago's made a huge difference already, 11 vs 11 is far fairer.

 

[Mark1989]

Get in! We have a goal back at least
