I suppose you're right. But I meant it in a different way... I feel like we had to try so hard whereas they barely had to lift a finger to penetrate us. Yes, right choice of words.
We need a fighter, a lion in defense. Someone to replace Albiol as he's past it. Our midfield needs more experience so I'm not too worried. We truly looked amateurish in defense, but its not just individual defenders its our defending as a team unit. 2 corners gave us a suffocating blow
on the corners... Reina-known for not being very good on corners Hysaj- alright albiol- good not great k2-good, great at times ghoulam-alright diawara-tall but not very good, also only 19 hamsik-worthless allan-midget therefore worthless callejon-pussy mertens- lol insigne- are you kidding? why does it surprise anyone we cant do corners...
I don't understand why people are bashing the team. We played well. It was Real Madrid. We need to focus on the league and qualify again. We had a great campaign.
de Vrij would be good but preferable someone with ton loads of experience. Godin would be the ideal signing. I don't want to talk about transfers further, but someone is needed back there to give the rest of our defenders a slap on the head whenever they do dumb shit.
I think Koulibaly was poor aerially. Mistimes his jumps way too often so can barely ever make good contact. Pisses me off we cant do anything with a billion corners but sergio ramos just walks past our defense to calmly nod it in. Im also annoyed how jorginho (along with others) worked hard last year to get us in CL places, then cant play a single minute of this 'prestigious' CL knockout tie.
Our problem is the way we lose the ball. Yes, that's a thing. If you're gonna lose the ball in the build up, please dont let it be a backwards pass towards our defenders... it is no coincidence since it happens every match. I swear this didnt happen nearly as much last season when an in form Jorginho was orchestrating the play. We got to play Real Madrid on a day they decided they were gonna play like a bag of shit, and we hand them two goals, I think the bashing is somewhat reasonable. We fought and played well in the 1st half, too bad someone didnt tell these ********ers a football match lasts 90 minutes. Getting fatigued only happens to us because we let in a goal every 10 mins we have to sit deep to catch a breath - Sarri needs to improve our bus when we have to go full Juventus mode.
I can't see this team grinding out results the way RM or dare I say juventus can do. We aren't built for that, same goes for Barcelona as well. Everytime we tried to play out from the back I got butterflies in my tummy
Bashing Hamsik and the defence on corners, it doesn't matter if it's Madrid. The quality of the opponent didn't make Hamsik make a lazy pass, of which he does far too many times, the quality of the opponent didn't make Hamsik a weak pussy when we were down. The quality of the opponent didn't make our defence nailed to the spot on the corners. It was exactly what we saw against Palermo and Atalanta, and they ain't no Madrid.
I said that about Jorgi before the game, i would be pissed if i was him. Also sick of Koulibally, he can't seam to decide if he's a top defender or a pub player.
Koulibaly looks like how he was before Sarri came, clueless and gets beaten easily. He looked invincible last year, can't believe how much he regressed. If chelsea are offering 60 million, its a no brainer from me
I just dont understand why he keeps doing it. It's becoming harder and harder to like him, would be easier to not get annoyed with him if he had balls but again he is the first to lose heart and give up. It's like he doesn't want to play.
Unfortunately Reals individual talent made the difference. Not disappointed. Unfortunately Miliks injury has made this season tougher. Wish Real Madrid well, they beat us fair & square
Yeah, I hate writing or saying negative things about Hamsik, its not something I enjoy, but sometimes he can be so frustating to watch, especially if you're a fan who watch him play week in and week out and know how amazing of a player he truly is. A player like him has no excuse giving away possession as much as he has been doing lately. He wasnt even under that much pressure
