QF 1st Leg Post Match Thread

Nobody is saying we should have stuck five in. But we are a team that scores plenty of goals and in a competition where away goals count more, it would have been nice to see a bit more attacking intent or maybe for us to have changed things earlier.

Of course we can still turn it around but we've made it really hard for ourselves.

1-0 is not a hard score to turn around, 2-0 and i would be twitching, the battle is not to concede because i cant see us putting 3 past them on the night

How many fucking times, DO NOT PLAY DELPH

Corrected for you

Puts the tie on a knife-edge. We're more than capable of turning this result around next week but need to be perfect in defence as we don't want to give them even a sniff.

We didn't give them much of a sniff tonight, until we decided we were the officials.

Do you not think Pep was trying to avoid ‘doing a Liverpool away’ and being out in the 1st leg?

Liverpool away was another one with a really odd team selection though. We lost that game in the first half hour with Gundogan inexplicably being played out on the right wing and Liverpool absolutely overrunning us for the first half hour. Spurs never looked like doing that.

If we were worried about another Liverpool type game then maybe we shouldn't have put Silva in the team because he simply doesn't seem capable of making an impact in these kind of games at the moment. If he wanted to rest KDB he could have thrown Foden in for me because Silva has just been missing in action since xmas.

No, it's not. Mahrez was good.

The Mahrez I watched was dog-shit

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Totally disagree , Mahrez did as well as any other of our offensive players , they were all rather shite tonight

Mahrez is fucking shit mate

Agree with some of what you've said but a bit too critical imo . I don't know if that's a Cavan man's trait?;-)

You've got me.

Realistically that wasn't the worst, we were never going to win every game from here on out and if I had to pick a game to lose recently this would be it and a 1-0 loss is recoverable. If we lost to Brighton we were out, if we lose to Palace it'll be tough in the PL, same with Spurs in the league. I'm confident enough with it, if we're all up for the game we could easily beat them 2-0/3-0

Hoddle, Ferdinand and Lineker talking as if Fernandinho tried to kill Kane with his elbow...Jesus Christ....how pathetic.

 

[knuckles]

Agree with all that
