Outside, but should have been a red

really cant blame the ref for the call considering where he was standing.i think it was penalty or better say literally just inside

This englisch commentators are so bad, i think they are monaco-fans

Monaco are the underdogs here. Most commentators tend to side with the underdog. It was the same with Polish guys. Last game against BVB they were creaming all over Juve, but this time they were mostly praising Monaco.

tough call the first touch was outside, he could have called it either way good for us that it was a penalty

I'm still struggling to see the contact in the penalty. It looked very soft, the ref benefited us in some crucial plays.

Anyway, horrible performance, great result. Pereyra seemed to be our only chance of creating something, and Vidal did very well in the second half. Bonucci and Chiellini were great.

And now I'm more sure that we desperately need 2 full backs who can run and be aggressive. Evra and specially Litch hurt the team a lot offensively, one of the reasons we lack width.

thanks for the pep talk

Chiellini needs to stop with that shirt pulling thing...one day they will spot it and it could be the next leg.

Didn't that already happen against Real last year? He's asking for penalties.

No injuries and no suspensions for return leg. This was really good

 

[Post Ironic]

It was, although I've no idea how that isn't a red card. I'd probably have preferred the red at the time, although in hindsight it's easier to say after Vidal scores, I wasn't that confident in him.

I wanted the red card most of all. When I first saw it, I thought red card and free kick. It was only the first replay where I thought, hey maybe that was in the box.

Carvalho out of second leg... A free kick that Pirlo or Tevez could have easily scored... And Monaco with 10 men for 40 minutes... I think that would probably have been better for us than just the penalty.

i'm glad nobody will miss the return leg through suspension. bad match, great result.

 

[zizinho]

they are talking about the penalty on sky right now. i dont understand a word though

 

[Mark]

no goals conceded, would have been great to score a second but I'll take it. Next game Monaco will open up more and hopefully we defend well and finalize those chances.

I'm still struggling to see the contact in the penalty. It looked very soft, the ref benefited us in some crucial plays.

Basically it was one of those accidental trips where a player runs across another, it's unlucky but still a professional foul, because it's all about the forward getting ahead of his defender.

The sort of game you kind of wished you just had the second, wont be easy but on the positive side we can hopefully now beat monaco in their own game - counter attack. 3-5-2 for some reason looked more assurring or simply the fact that monaco looked out of steam. Main thing is we didnt concede an away goal. Hopefully the boys will feel more relaxed and focused in the second leg as opposed to anxious and lost which they were in the first half. Whether its a pen or not who cares i shit my loads when vidal picked the ball up but really happy to see him score that and put the laid the haterz back to bed.

What? That was an excellent performance. We created far more chances. There was clear contact on the penalty. Monaco didn't even argue the contact, they just argued that it was outside the box. 9 times out of 10 that is a red card. And a red card and free kick there, which is what it should have been is better for us than a yellow and penalty, because we might have scored from great free kick spot, plus we have a man up for 40 minutes, plus Carvalho out for the next game.

If we finish our chances that match, we win 3-0 or 3-1.

I don't think it's a penalty either but I can't complain here.

 

[MikeM]

Carvalho knew exactly what he was doing there. No chance at the ball, run across the player and hope to get lucky with contact. Absolute foul and probably a red card.

 

[Paid-off-Ref]

Any news on Pogba's recovery? Is he expected to be back for the return leg?

 

[Boksic]

Thought we played a good game. We were too wasteful but controlled the game well.

Vidal was incredible, Buffon was crucial. Really liked Morata too.

1-0 is a good result in knockout stages at home. We have a good basis and Monaco will have to come at us more in the second leg.

 

[Ronn]

How did Monaco scored 3 vs Arsenal is beyond me. They were terrible. Equivalent of something like Inzaghi's Milan
