Get the bad ones out - right?

Man, I hope it works that way...

Spoiler

First time in a dozen games...but appropriate thread title felt appropriate today.    Going down to 10 men was tough, but this seemed more mental than a tactical disadvantage...

Good god, do I actually have to watch this in Spanish?

[TexArcher 38873]

There's one.

[TexArcher 38873]

Annnnnnnnnd two.

You could just learn it. In Futbol. 

[InkaUtexas 26849]

Impressive play. Mendy was a rock. 

Good highlights link.

Thanks for sharing the highlights vid - that was fantastic!

Mendy is a beast, for sure.

Looks like we had a lot of opportunities to score even more.

Hate that pink kit, btw...

Yeah, not a fan of the kit either, but a W is a W

Two in the first ten. I guess that's an okay start.

Just flipped it on. Maybe Pulisic should start.

[ztejas 44114]

This is an ass-beating. Can't beleive we lost 5-2 to freaking West Brom. 

[InkaUtexas 26849]

So how good was it? Was stuck on calls all morning. Why won't people respect my soccer watching time?

We could have put 6 in the net in the first half. I actually didn't watch the 2nd half - but I think the result was decided after 45. 

If Pulisic and Havertz keep this up we have more than a decent chance at the CL title. Although we still have weird defensive lapses at times. Winning it would be doubly nice since the PL standings are a little too tight for comfort. 

[ztejas 44114]

Our counter is as dangerous as anyone in Europe right now. But holy fuck we have to clean up some shit in our own third. Rudiger especially. 

All things considered not a bad 45. Kante being Kante. Thought Pulisic and Mount controlled the ball well. 

45 more and let's regroup and get ready for the semis. 

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

Only got to listen to it, but it sounded like a fairly boring first half.  That's fine with me.

Their only good chances were off of fuckups or giveaways by us. We looked decently sharp in their third but didn't put anything on goal. 

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

Watching the second half and the Porto players don't seem to understand that rolling around on the ground and wasting time isn't helpful to them right now.

[ztejas 44114]

Wow. We're in the fucking semifinals of the Champions League. I'm gonna enjoy this before I bitch about anything that just transpired.

Pulisic does. Man drew 2 cards and a hard foul in the last 15 mins. 

[TexArcher 38873]

Wasn't pretty today, but job done.

So exciting going deep in this tournament.  Keep winning, lads.

[ztejas 44114]

Isn't Mike Dean the sack of shit that reffed the final last year? 

Shocked that we're getting hosed already on the cards. 

Also - drink every time Werner is offsides.

[Stringer 1487]

Ziyech should have 2.

Great second half though, thus far.

Mike Dean is aweful. Fernandinho should have been off a long time ago.

I missed about half the game. Great win. From what I watched we were the better side for almost all of it.

That finish by Pulisic was amazing. Shame the flag went up. 

[MoJames 8258]

Nice win.

[InkaUtexas 26849]

Just saw a few highlights. Hell YEAH! 

 

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

Interesting line up today with Mount dropping down to play in the midfield next to Jorgi.  I guess Tuchel is worried about overplaying Kante when Kova is still injured.  

[MoJames 8258]

We don't deserve any points from this game.

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

Nope.  Completely uninspiring play.  CHO seemed like the only one who even wanted to put in effort to make something happen.

[dieucla98 2954]

I fell asleep during the match and only just woke up. That shit was dreadfully boring.

[TexArcher 38873]

BLUE IS THE COLOUR ! ! ! 

[MoJames 8258]

[TexArcher 38873]

OMFG Courtois with an absolute theft of a goal.  Christ.

On replay, Werner could've done better there.  Still gets by most keepers.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL

PULIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

streamGG — Real Madrid 0 - [1] Chelsea - Christian Pulisic 14'

Dude Rudiger playing great.

[TexArcher 38873]

Clearly the superior side for the first 15 minutes.

Need to keep up the aggression and get a second.

[MoJames 8258]

Jesus clear the ball

[TexArcher 38873]

Benzema levels it.  We've mostly dominated for 30 minutes and we're back where we started.

[MoJames 8258]

We'd be a force if Timo could learn how to finish

[MoJames 8258]

Nice push there on Chillwell in the box.

[MoJames 8258]

Hazard on O_o

[Stringer 1487]

I'll take the 1-1 in Madrid.  

[MoJames 8258]

Away goal in pocket.

[TexArcher 38873]

Yep, I'll take it.

One clean sheet from advancing and this side is pretty good at clean sheets.

But let's win the next one 2-0 just to be sure.
