Well that's annoying. You could see them starting to test us - trying to load up with the extra man going down the right. Paid off.

Hopefully we'll wake up now. Not been positive enough since our goal,

we look shaky at the back again

We've put them under a lot of pressure at the back with our pressing and it paid off big time. We need to continue it in the second half as they look likely to gift us again. Yes, we look shaky at the back but at least these have the players who would worry any defence really. Keep the ball better is the key here now and make it count when we get another chance. Could be a tight, nervous second half this.

felix the fucker now starting to give a few dodgy decisions against us

Not sure I like this ref. Very quick to award free kicks to Real for the slightest contact. The one awarded against Sterling was a joke... then he misses the blatant shirt tug on KdB?

Okay, we need to be more alert and positive. Can't sit back against quality opposition like this.

A great win against a top side that has just won La Liga. Jesus really proved his worth and his hard work was justly rewarded. Top play for both goals, showing his real asset of putting defenders under pressure.

Excellent game from us tonight. Totally deserved the win, second half we were by far the better team.

Hope Peps sticks with that defence for the next game.   

Lyon won’t be easy. Need to,stay focused for that one.

Was a really good game for us, bit more incisive, but two wins against one of the best sides in the world is amazing.

If Ramos had of played there would have been a few had tackles going in on the City players

Madrid lacked toughness
