Match thread v Real Madrid

[Steveo]

No Courtois and we smash them to shyte tonight - he was like Alisson was in Paris last year

Has Arne found a good position for Wirtz?

Hopefully because gakpo not in the team is good.

[Gurthers]

Agreed. I hope he kicks on and Arne doesn't keep trying him in a midfield 3

I wonder what Virg is going to say to Rooney?

Virg was just asked about "outside noise". He and Rooney (who recently criticised Virg) just chuckled.

[Jenson78]

Why cant we play like that in the finals against Real Madrid.

Smile though your heart is breaking,.

Rooney should be more concerned about his teeth breaking.

[Jenson78]

Bloody hell I just realised weve had two clean sheets in a row.

[Kev0909]

At least we should easily qualify for r16 now

I'm actually a little frustrated, mixed emotions delighted we've won but what the fuck? we have we suddenly decided to turn up again? where was this when we've thrown the league defense pretty much away already????

Baffling, and annoying.

Could've turned up last month like and actually look arsed

Good win but we'd have qualified to knockouts eitherway city 3pts more important we can't afford to drop points now thanks to the perfect performances last month for some unknown reason, fuck sake.

Good lord

Mad innit - look at who against too, The look at who we conceded to

Is it because Slot went back to hos best midfield and stopped being so completely hung ho?

Means fuck all at the moment but yes lets celebrate like we've won the league

forget last month and throwing the league away, should've turned up then perhaps, too.

To a degree - but we have been integrating lots of new players. At the risk of going on like a broken record - that ain’t easy

Yeah I guess it's not just that, players body Language, work rate, attitude all seem better and not playing half-arsed.... I don't get it bradley is acting like a footballer again that can actually pass 5 yards, salah doesn't look like he's a non-league player anymore, etc etc.

Nothing to do with new players.....
