Good thing is this we have another leg to handle this + with CR7 and Bale + We didn't concede, we didn't score either tho
We didn't take our chances and Carlo didn't help by taking Isco out. Even Di Maria should have been kept in a little longer. He can deliver a magic pass every now and then. Well, at least we kept a clean sheet
The fact we have to use Bale and Ronaldo in the first round of the CdR to guarantee progression is whack. I don't doubt we can thrash them but the attitude and approach of the majority of this team needs addressing.
Worst.Match.Ever Seriously, they need to make these rounds just a single match to make them interesting or to give the smaller teams a real chance of progression. This little team will get wasted in the Bernabéu.
when isco gone match was over. cause others were just very poor. isco was brilliant, illarra today did his job very well too. di maria was terrible today
This is one of my fears. We've been playing well as of late but a lot of it has been in the Bernabeu. I'm happy we haven't had to go on the road without Ronaldo
I just hope that guy stretchered off recovers in time to play at the Bernabeu, I mean after he "worked" so hard to help earn his team a draw.
We didn't deserve more than a draw IMO. I hoped for a at least a positive result so the boys can have another game and we can rest the likes of Xabi and Modric but now this doesn't seem too unlikely, just "to make sure". Anyway props to Xativa.
Expected much more from Morata and Jese.. was disappointed. Isco was the best player tonight. Anyway we move on.
I kind of felt bad for that Xativa player. "Hey, Carvajal. Can I have you shirt?" "sure" "WOW Thanks! Do you want mine?" "Naah I'm cool"
Bah. Yawn. No drama. I will say that field was tiny. I think my 12 year old plays on a field that size!! LOL It's no surprise that players that benefit from going at defenders with pace struggled so much.
