Good half, as with the 1st leg Madrid have looked there for the taking if we could step it up a bit. They'll kick into gear at some point, need another goal or two to keep them pinned down.

Kai has to get his head up and see the back post run by Mason. 

 

Not sure what Kai had brought in the first 45 min. Jorgie is also very quiet.

Mount, Kante, Timo, and the defense had been very solid the first half.

Happy to be  up at halftime. But it's not over. 

We should be 2-0 up if not more. Another wasted chance from Havertz at the end. 

Huge half coming up. Need to dig in and defend for our lives. Career defining stuff. Need some more Kante superman stuff I suspect.

Finely balanced at the moment. Goals there for us if we make the right decisions. They look dangerous when they get near our box. Good game. We definitely deserve to be where we are.

He’s been incredible

That was an intense first half, blimey the pace was unbelievable from both teams. What I’d given to be at the Bridge with all the supporters buzzing

Note to self: petition the club to sell icecream at the concession stands, although delivery at my seat is preferable.

I suppose he created that goal.

It's the hope that kills me

Why the f**k isn't there even 10 seconds of added time when we scored a goal and had a Var check

It's really annoying. It's been going on in European competitions for the past 3 or 4 seasons now. Refs are clearly being instructed to do this and the only reason I can think why is because they want to stop goals being scored in stoppage time.

Comes down to the big moments doesn’t it.

Feels the same as last week, a wasted opportunity. This tie should be done, it's our lack of killer instinct that continues to hold us back.

What the f**k is with refs blowing the whistle dead on 45 minutes? Did he not stop his watch with the VAR check, the goal and all of the other stoppages for corners, shots and fouls?

Why do you want extra time we are 1 up get into the dressing room

Yeah, you never know they might have scored on the counter. Unlikely but still.

Great game so far. I hope Pulisic comes on at the 60 minute mark. 

Only downside is once again our decision making and precision when counter attacking. Hopefully it doesn't come back to bite us in the ass.

This is an option in the West Stand I believe via an app.

Terrible from the ref, clearly there was time for that corner kick. There was 1 goal and another one not allowed after offside and several yellow cards that alone is enough for an extra minute for that corner kick.

quick gander of the bluemoon forum, what a bunch of tossers,

@Valerie I might have to have the ice cream 

Not yet, not yet!

 

If I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to switch to The Great British Sewing Bee, altough that's nailbiting stuff too.

I’ve just walked up and down the hall, taking the rubbish out and had a clean around the kitchen. Nerves are still at maximum levels.

They won't admit it, but they fear us more.

Joe Lycett is a calming presence.
