darkenedrebel:
I'm thoroughly disappointed at our boys for losing focus when it mattered the most despite their bright start...

Johan deserved better.....smh

Ikennablue:
that match self, I've been wondering why that ref refused that obvious penalty, why Suarez missed that simple goal, and why our defenders suddenly relaxed during the last 20mins

The foul on Messi was not a penalty as it happened very close to the edge.
I don't think our defenders relaxed in the last 20 mins too. The removal of Rakitic piled more pressure on them. Rakitic was responsible for shutting down Modric in the middle. He never allowed his fellow countryman have any impact on the game while still supporting Alves on the flank to silent CR7. That allowed Busi to do his work well and gave balance to the midfield. He was already on a yellow card and the coach removed him for Arda. Arda was probably carried away by the awe of playing his 1st clasico as he was no where to be found. That gave room for Modric to stamp his authority and took control of the midfield. Iniesta too was already worn out which left Busi to be exposed against Madrid mid fielders which in return increased the pressure on our defence. Marcelo and CR7 were let lose on the flank while Modric and Kroos had their time through the middle. Zidane introduced a sharp Jesse and our defence couldn't handle the pressure. Hence, the collapse.

na by force to speak language wey no be ur own. smh

Terver23:
Neymar seriously needs to be himself and stop finding messi up and down the field always, My problem with our tika taka style is that it gets annoying when u see clear space for a shot and they still want to do One two pass Haba mana!!......Forca barca all day all year

E do too tire me...


I am used to it though!

E dey Affect me for game Too...If about 10 players no touch the ball, I no dey gree Score

Mcleo007:





While I agree with you on the points listed, the formation by Lucho didn't help neither. He deployed god-Messi as the pin point man in a diamond 4-4-2 formation. He played Neymar Jnr and L. Suarez as a twin strike combo with no clear objectives as against having god-Messi play along them upfront. Marcelo had a field day, as there was nobody to keep him quiet on the right flank. He was Madrid's most dangerous player on the night.

phaamsaam:
Removal of rakitic shouldn't have been felt if Roberto was brought in
That's y d argument persist on why was Arda signed??Enrique personally signed Arda and that clouds his judgement right now... Hoping it is a one off judgemental error...

Ikennablue:

hmm...bro this your analysis was very helpful, I hope we win our match against atletico Madrid, or do u see any reason why atletico will b a hard nut??

Slimzjoe:


Even if he stuck with 4-3-3, Lord Messi, won't Track Back to Defend against Marcelo. That's supposed to be Turan's Job

coded01:


One thing I noticed with comments flying around... No one is acknowledging Rakitic's impact in keeping Ronaldo quiet...

Immediately he was subbed off... Dani Alves was completely exposed for what he is...

I don't blame Turan...His inclusion was to booster our attack n as usual there was 1 or 2 times Dani Alves had clear opportunity of creating a fast counter attack pass to Turan but he chosed to pass sideways or backward...

After all they are humans... --- Treble loading...

You must have not seen this
Rakitic ensured both Modric and CR7 had a quiet game while he was on the pitch. Arda should have come in for Iniesta while Messi should have engaged Marcelo from the flank. E don happen sha, after all, they are human as you have rightly said.
Athletico will pay dearly for the loss.

IMO Arda coming wasn't the issue. The issue was with whom he replaced. He should have been brought in for Iniesta who wasn't really in the game IMO and not for the engine room, Rakitic.
