[McDermotX]

That was worse than Borini's.

'Punch punch punch'... Suppose it's better than 'Flap miss flap miss'

Would have kept Lucas on - why bother throwing Gerrard on to hold when we're playing well across the midfield? Sterling for Markovic a good move though. Despite the lack of movement I'd be tempted to throw Balotelli on for the last 10 too just in case he can write another headline. Sounds like Coutinho though...which is probably the percentage option..

Manquillo has had a nightmare game.. Left us exposed the whole game

Yup. All of Madrid's attacking play has pretty much come down our right, or been worked over to our right hand side.

Looked like he kicked the floor to me. Townsend insisting he was kicked.

Aye. As rcasemore has pointed out earlier, the referee has been falling over his own feet to give Madrid everything.

Marcelo been their best player shockingly enough

[danperkins]

We going for it a bit more now... Could leave things exposed but why not

He'd decided before that was even taken that he was going to punch whatever came in. Usually correct the way way Ronaldo gets it to move in the air, but that was tame.

[ChesterDave]

Barely touched him.

[calvoboy]

Not a lot in that...would have taken balls of steel from the ref to let it go though

[RichC]

Marcelo with a cynical foul on Sterling there

[dizzycat]

Nasty

[Glenn Hysen]

Should have been allowed!!

[Trippendicular]

Ramos being a cunt again. Who'd have thought.

He's been awesome for RM since the World Cup Brazil team got made to look like complete muppets...
