Strike 7,490 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Rock bottom of rock bottoms going into this one. Weirdly think we’ll show up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Yep, not even sure what to expect. I wouldn't be surprised if Boehly sacks Frank after this because it could be a big big thumping if todays levels are anything to go on 🤣 Madrid have what 10 goals in their last 2 games? Probably smash 4 or 5 past Villarreal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,535 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Ahahahahaaaaaaaaaa we have no chance but guess it's a day out? Our problem is even if we show up..no one can score! bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,917 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 All we can really do is pray that Kante, Enzo, and Kova can make that Kroos & Modric midfield look painfully slow and old like we did in the UCL the past 2 seasons. Mount and Kante ran rings around them. But even if we win the midfield battle we’ll still have Koulibaly and Cucu back there against Benz, Vini Jr, etc. so keeping a clean sheet or even only conceding 1 or 2 feels impossible. If Reece, Chilly, and our midfield put in world class performances we can cause them all sorts of headaches. But can we score even 1 goal? Doubt it at this point.

Cosmin 2,484 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 There is now way we don’t lose this. I cannot find one single reason to be optimistic. Reddish-Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAM09 7,056 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 They threw away the lead twice to succumb to a 3-2 home defeat. If our attackers are actually up for it, we'll have a chance of getting a positive result. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our attackers haven't been up for it the whole season, not sure how they'll suddenly flick a switch and turn it on against Madrid. If they don't win by 2+ goals, I'll be surprised. They got past Liverpool quite easily, wonder how much fun they'll have against Koulibaly, Cucurella and co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhead23 1,147 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Looking yesterday's game, I believe the most optimist would also concede that we arent going to win, which is a given ... now it is by how much are we going to lose 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,917 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Real Madrid are much more beatable than City or Bayern are in my opinion. They’re capable of spectacular displays but also dreadful ones. Whereas City and Bayern will attack relentlessly and barely let you touch the ball, Real Madrid will give you plenty of opportunities. Sadly, even if they do give us loads of openings to score you wouldn’t fancy us to take any of them this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I keep saying it’s naive to dream of another UCL trophy. Even if we get past Madrid, we still have a semifinal to play against City or Bayern, before getting into the final. If we had to play any of those in the final, anything would be possible, just like in 2012 and 2021. But getting past any of them in two legs? With this spirit, this squad and this manager? No way.

They didn't fair too badly in our last CL outing, so I can only hope that will be enough motivation. 1 hour ago, Laylabelle said: We have attackers? I've heard one or two have been spotted.
