After they scored they did.

AC Milan go through

FT

Napoli's penalty woes cost them again. Got knockout in the Coppa Italia on PK's and have missed multiple in this CL campaign alone.

You can’t have a go at Reece in the first leg or Chalobah today. They are playing against some decent players, who are the best in the world at controlling a tempo in a game. Both matches we were relying on luck for goals. There were no patterns. The biggest issue for me is set pieces. That is what we have always used for unlocking big games. I don’t remember a set piece goal in 2023. Correct me if I’m wrong…

You can't go out with one offensive player at home  when you need goals, you just can't.  The stupidest thing is that we didn't even try to give ourselves a chance with this formation .

Mudryck has skills just needs a real manger and a mentor

we hope, but it's not a sure thing. Maybe he won't grow the tactical and mental aspect, which is about non-existent at this time. This last step is the hardest one yet.

We started the second half in similar fashion, with the best chance falling to Kante for the umpteenth time. Chalobah showed his lack of IQ in gifting RM progression.

It's not about whether he was right or wrong; the idea that Boehly actually thought he was the man to galvanise this squad is farcical. 

True but then who can at this point? We're 15th for goals scored for a reason. Spent stupid amounts of money and sod all going from it..money spent on names it seems rather then what we need and the talent we need. Good luck whoever us stupid enough to come and take over!8

This happens when you are trying to overturn a 2-0 defeat.
But we played well and -as usual- we could n't convert.
The way we played in Madrid was bad.
We gave them 3/4 of the field without resistance and we did n't escape in the end.
We should have pressed them like today - they are good at passing but not superhuman. After all TT put the press on them last year and the year before and he managed to extinguish them.

[robsblubot 3,255]

The team is disjointed. Be aware of drawing too many conclusions from this.

Players would be playing well below their norm under these conditions.

Overall, tragic.

 

Not tragic because we relegated, tragic because Real Madrid walked through without any difficulity, without having to sweat or offer anything special. If we had 1-2 players who can actually scored goals we could have had chance to win this till final minutes. 
 

Chalobah, Gallagher and Cucurella are absolutely no players for this level.

Chances are Lampard won't even win a single game in charge that's how bad it looks.

Any of the names mentioned would have done a better job than winless Lamps. Have you read the reports that there is literally no tactical work during training instead, Lamps is having therapy sessions with each player instead?

You can't even laugh at the current mess we're in anymore.

True but what do you expect from a clueless owener

Players don't need therapy the fans do!! This is like the definition of madness..we're doing the same thing over and over and expecting for some reasonna different result

Chalobah ended this match. You would n't get more free space than Rodrygo did if you bought Stamforf bridge.

not too long ago, I was the one person suggesting that he did not look good enough at this level. There is a PL bias towards power, strength, tall players, but that does not align with the current state of affairs with City's midgets winning the league every season.

[cosmicway 1,261]

Obviously Lamps has nothing to offer.
But I cannot blame him for today - I blame him for the Madrid system.
As for goals he can't bring them, nobody can with this lot.

The fact Boehly already owns a sports team is mindboggling.

City still have presence where it matters. Rodri being a key name.

Chalobah shouldn't have even played, Badiashile should have. Wasn't registered. 🤭

What a clusterfuck and totally braindead season.

[TheHulk 1,423]

Leao was amazing tonight, of course we bought Mudryk instead.
