they were 2 goals up going into the 90th minute of normal time, realy really should see the tie out from there with or without KDB
that said they ended ET with a pretty horrid looking XI considering their squad

Still trying to work out how Real have managed to beat PSG, Chelsea and City, despite being the worst side in all those games? ?
That ref wasn't very good at all and his mates can't operate a watch at all. Must be eating at a nice Real restaurant tonight. ?

Incredible result. I thought City were in control of that game until the 88th minute, their Dark arts were on point all game though.
Thought the ref was poor for both sides, too much feigning injuries even for my liking.

Anyways enough of that Mikey mouse comp and onto the real one today ?
Set up nicely at 2-1
Dawson returns after a rest Sunday. Same with Antonio
Johnson rumoured to be out , tbh I want coufal in the team anyways
Hoping for a 2-0 win to do the job in normal time
But anything to get us through to the final
However whatever happens tonight it's been a good ride and we have exceeded all expectations

I still can't quite understand how City blew that.... they were more in control of the game than they had been at any other stage and looked like adding another goal! The really odd thing is that Real didn't have to do much to bag two goals!
Reality of it is that Madridl fluked it, all this talk of a never say die attitude and what not, it was a fluke in combination with very good players that can do that when they get the chance. It wasn't as if they were putting relentless pressure on the City goal!
I'd say 99 times out of 100, City go into the final. Truly bizarre.

Ah, but ... It seems like you've forgotten to factor in the supposed liking of free tapas by all referees.

I’m not complaining it’s Real in the final. It’s a chance to get revenge for previous.
I don’t understand why Pep is lauded as the best, I thought he blew it.

Personally as a west ham pessimist , I think its a tough ask after a long season with a small squad. Frankfurt have some outstanding attacking players and we haven't been at our best in the past month.
As you say Win or lose its been a hell of a ride.
I think DM needs to be brave, discard the out of form players and go for it.
Areola,Dawson,Zouma,Cresswell
Coufal,Rice,Fornals,Fredricks
Bowen,Yarmolenko,Lanzini
If he starts Soucek and Antonio the tie might be lost before half time

I've never understood it
He has always been in control of the best team in the league.. with a lot of money
Klopp on the other hand does it with a tighter budget and weren't they like 7th when he took over or something?

Ah I disagree
Antonio was outstanding against them, he ran them ragged
Much as I don't think he is amazing he is a handful .
Soucek does an important job and has got us this far
Don't think 3 at back works in Europa I think 4 at back and take the game by the scruff

The ref's performance was frustrating, increasingly so as the game went on, but he wasn't the reason City lost.

Not sure how you can blame the Ref for players feigning injuries. Unfortunately it is the culture in men's football now where they all cheat and con to try and get an advantage. It was nice to watch the WSL last night with none of the diving and rolling around. Who said women were the weaker sex? ?

But the tone of the thread earlier suggests others might not be in total agreement
(Have always wondered why in football in particular, everything is always totally the refereees fault? )

I don't think Antonio did bully anyone in the 1st game, the centre half (who is a unit) was not bothered by him at all and when he dropped deeper to get the ball he was guilty of slowing the (already slow) attacks up.
And Soucek is just a shadow of the player he was last year and i do not know why, he doesn't make tackles or set up any attacking moves, also the goals have not come this year, maybe its because Rice has more licence to get forward so he needs to be more defensive or opponents are more aware of him, either way its a real shame... Moyes rested both last Sunday but when they came on they could not get into the game at all.

Rice's insistence of going forward has ruined soucek, soucek needs to play as the player who runs into the box
Rice should sit and hold
Dictacts play
He doesn't score enough to justify going forward as often
We have let him to try and keep him
Much as I like Frederick's pace I think soucek and Antonio will be key tonight.
That said if juv want to give us 50 mil for soucek as rumoured fair play we can replace him
