QF 1st Leg Post Match Thread

[fareastblue]

No way we could carry on unbeaten since Newcastle until the end of season so let this be the one L

Trust in pep they said

Give delph a chance they said

Totally predictable

Best 2 players on in the 88th minute

 

[mat]

Still Winnable.

As long as we dont get a ref from Madrid for the second leg.

 

[hertsblue]

Poor again, just like Brighton
No creativity and sloppy passing

 

[BlueDan91]

If this means we win all our remaining games then I'm happy.

Law of averages says we had to lose one eventually!

 

[BlueAnorak]

Pep had a complete brain fart tonight.

 

[HelloCity]

I'm genuinely stunned by how bad Walker was. Literally everything he did was bad and/or a complete fuck up. He seems like his head isn't right at all.

Gundogan caused us a lot of issues by hiding when the centre backs had the ball, and when he did receive it he kept making a safe layoff, often backwards. which Laporte absolutely bollocked him for at one point. It was very reminiscent of his Anfield outings last season.

Even though he only played a short amount of time Jesus' offsides were infuriating. The worst was when De Bruyne was running through and he ran offside so quickly forcing Kev to play the harder ball to Sane.

Overall I thought we missed the extra quality of Bernardo and De Bruyne.

Apart from the pen did Lloris have to make a save?

 

[RandomJ]

That team selection reeked of arrogance. Like we could play some of the second string away in a Champs League quarter final and still piss it. Pep got it badly wrong. If we were serious about that game we would have shown Spuds respect and played our strongest team.

 

[super_city_si]

Complete fuck up by Pep. Luckily we have a leg left to turn it around.

Two seasons on the trot hes done it. Shit selection compounded by his fucking ridiculous introduction of sane and debruyne at 88 mins.

 

[sheepskin_tearaway]

We were a missed pen away from a very good result.

But we won’t win the CL as long as refs keep giving every - and I do mean every - 50-50 against us. It’s ridiculous.

 

[roy.or.r]

Tbh, I am not hopeful of progressing anymore. 1-0 away is the worst possible result for us in this tight schedule. If they score one more, then game over. Pep completely fucked up the formation. Btw, where are all the happy clappers? They seemed very confident before the match.

 

[Dave S]

We’ll batter them at home. No problem.

 

[Ballymagash Blue]

The abuse of Pep on the matchday thread was shocking.

 

[Decepticon]

So I guess we need to sell the deadwood and start buying better players again this summer...

 

[gomer27]

well that was shit

 

[Tricky_Trev]

December all over again, no life to us. Gonna be a slog in this form.

 

[Kazzydeyna]

Said it last season, in the CL our manager is a coward and inept.

We'll NEVER win this competition with him in charge.

 

[markprendy]

Absolute gash! If they grab a goal at ours we have an uphill battle

 

[Jag]

Tottenham will 100% score at ours. We'll need 3 goals to qualify...

There is no defending Pep tonight. Laporte should have played LB with Stones in at CB.
