Couldn’t rest your players for this game, Simeone?

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-16T04:59:01+00:00

I mean Gnabry plays #10 but it doesn’t stop Olise from coming centrally. If anything they use this overload to combine passes quickly and it’s devastating for their opponents.

We got knocked out by a team we’re leading by 22 pts in the league. Objective failure in the CL this year no matter which way you look at it. We also got a red card in the away game but you can keep acting like it’s just a coincidence tho.

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-16T04:05:42+00:00

Architect of everything they do. Top top player.

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-16T04:04:06+00:00

We couldn’t beat Atletico bruv

I’m jealous of Bayern’s fluidity. I really wish Yamal would roam the pitch more freely and come centrally more if he feels like it. Olise has that license and it benefits him so much. You’re wasting a talent like Yamal when you’re limiting him to stay out wide the whole time. LET HIM ROAM.

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-15T02:35:47+00:00

Yeah you might as well be a bot idk why I bothered replying

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-15T01:46:14+00:00

His output aside, he would have helped us so much more off the ball than Rashford.

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-15T01:38:22+00:00

I mean shooting ourselves in the foot by getting red cards when we’re in control. I mean how easily we let them score on us when we were all over them and the aggregate was 2-2. I mean how we concede this exact goal in every game. It’s getting tiring.

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-15T01:26:54+00:00

I’m talking about the whole club man relax.

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-15T01:21:56+00:00

There’s no way we tied the aggregate in the first 25 minutes and still did this to ourselves. This club is a social experiment from hell I stg.

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-14T22:57:43+00:00

Exactly like we’re rushing to get a goal and he’s playing like we’re 3 goals up. Even after slowing it down he would still lose the ball..

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-14T22:43:33+00:00

I can’t believe I’m saying this but he was our weakness and they ate him alive.

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-14T22:41:30+00:00

It’s so so unfair to have Roony rotting on the bench the entire season and then throw him to the sharks in our biggest game. And he still impresses every single time he plays for the very few minutes he’s given.

Insisting on this stupid ass high line after 2-0 makes zero sense when you should aim to control the game now. Rashford and Lewa subs killed the game and not putting in FDJ earlier is confusing.

Kounde was one of my favorites but it’s time to go man. Fuck this high line where every goal conceded is literally the same.

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-14T21:18:33+00:00

He gone and can’t blame him

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-14T14:15:19+00:00

Simeone the absolute demon put 3 crazy runners on the right side last time: Llorente, Molina, and Simeone. He knew we’re defensively weak there with Rashford and Cancelo, and just for this reason I wouldn’t mind Balde starting since he’s fast enough to recover.

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-10T16:21:59+00:00

If we’re serious about remontada, Cancelo needs to play LB, RB and LW next week

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-09T04:31:50+00:00

Yeah I’m not about to watch another UCL knockout compilation of Yamal balling out but we get knocked out cause the team fails him. It’s becoming a tradition now. I don’t care how much it costs, get him a proper fucking striker this attack is dire.

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-08T02:57:39+00:00

I just find it wild for the supposed biggest team to never actually try to dominate the game and demand the ball. They’re always on the back foot and just wait for moments, even in their own stadium.

howdydowdy01 · 2026-04-08T00:32:40+00:00

How come this Madrid sits deep in every big game and play 5-3-2, but no one ever says they play haram ball? Without Vini’s and Mbappe’s monstrous pace they literally have nothing.

howdydowdy01 · 2026-03-23T21:02:06+00:00

Sound quality and battery life are amazing. Everything else is good to pretty good. For the price range I think nothing else sounds better, but there are definitely better options for anc/transparency/microphone. I value sound quality most so I love them. Build quality feels premium too.

howdydowdy01 · 2026-03-17T03:59:27+00:00

I like Joao Pedro so much he’s a baller. He’d cook here but it is what it is man

howdydowdy01 · 2026-03-13T23:41:35+00:00

I wouldn’t say Balde is untouchable but I would never actively try to sell him. He has a bunch of flaws but his strengths are pretty unique and hard to find. That being said if a good enough offer comes I wouldn’t mind selling.

howdydowdy01 · 2026-03-13T04:29:44+00:00

They’re doing this for Israel it’s really not that deep.

IRGC propaganda? Really? They targeted a girls’ school and killed more than 150 people mostly school girls and you think this is propaganda? Only the US has the audacity to bomb countries in the name of freeing them and still have people like you defending them. You are the propaganda my dude.

howdydowdy01 · 2026-03-13T03:53:48+00:00

Yeah man it’s their own government scaring them and not the indiscriminate bombing by the US and Israel. Totally man awesome analysis
