    So freaking proud of this team, another great performance, the first 30 or so mins in special were so blessed.

    So close to qualifying, I’m gonna be locked to the screen in the Inter match in a few mins.

    Maybe a bit shakier than it needed to be in the second half but nevertheless, very good defensive effort from La Real. Something that isn’t usually consistent, but today one big chance let in throughout the second half.

    Le Normand was fantastic. Put everything on the line tonight. Elustondo was fantastic as well. Munoz too.

    Mikel Merino what a player. And the first half performance as well, but that goes without saying.

    It could have been 5-0 in the first 25 minutes. Embarassing from Portugal’s greatest club. Embarassing.

    Sociedad are just ridiculous. Surely they cant keep this intensity for the whole season?

    Real Sociedad are on another level compared to us. Hell, we are like 10 levels below them at the moment.

    This has been a disaterous season. There is no cohesion at all and we’ve spent a record amount of money on complete flops. I don’t understand how the Schmidt doesn’t have the balls to drop players like Rafa or Joao Mario who are incredibly out of form, or why he insists on playing Cabral, Tengsted and Chiquinho all the time.

    Put some youngsters in from the academy. At least they’ll have more fight in them.
