QF 1st Leg Post Match Thread

[SWPISHOME]

Not often I criticise. I said before the game when I seen the team selection I was nervous.
Delph shouldn't be near the team don't know how many goals he costs us when he plays.
That result and performance tonight was all down to the manager.
Now we are in trouble

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Utter wank, a penalty and all the possession but no goal again in a big game, the most mystifying team selection and subs.
Pep you f4cked up big time.

 

[taconinja]

I have cooking class in an hour and I honestly am not sure anyone wants me holding a chef's knife at the moment.

(I'm joking for anyone who might actually be worried.)

 

[Vienna_70]

Terrible performance.

Awful penalty by Sergio.

Stupidity from Dinho.

Poor defending from Fabian.

Puzzling substitutions (or lack thereof) by Pep.

Very disappointing result. Now we have to win by two clear goals at Etihad.

I fear the worst.

Gundogan has never convinced me despite his recent purple patch. Tbh not arsed if he leaves, Foden has hunger on the pitch even if Gundogan is currently more talented (in patches). Mahrez shit as well. No coincidence that whenever we bring in those 2 and Delph the quality tanks and we look shit.

1-0 at half time in this tie and the BBC are creampie-ing each other in the face. We will see who wins the tie you tin-pot, pedo covering wanker of an organisation.

If we could all choose any game to lose between now and the end of the season, this one would have been it.

 

[baggy]

Oh pep, huge misjudgement with that line up and too stubborn to change it when everyone could see it wasn't working and what would happen.

We were lucky spurs are shit but that says everything about that whole evening for us.

We will still go through but losing momentum as a result is what worries me now.

Pep, pep, pep. 2/10 mate...

 

[I'm Blue]

Honestly no idea what Pep was playing at tonight.
The selection wasn’t great, but when Kane went off the game was crying out for Kev and Sane.
Sergio got no service, so he brings gabby on who gets no service.
The subs at the end were pointless.
Pep’s at fault tonight, not something you’ll hear too often.

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

Never thought we would win all 3 games against them and if you gave me a chance of which to lose it would be this one. Only half time.

 

[Bill]

considering he wants to win this bent cup Pep put out a terrible team with terrible tactics. i'm confused.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

In all honesty I wouldn’t be too upset to exit this competition and focus on the league and fa cup.

That said, pep has had a shocker tonight....rode his luck with the selection....fair enough, but failing to gauge the right time for changes is unforgivable. I can only think he totally overthought the whole thing and got so caught up with the im0lications of tired players late April that he forgot to focus on a game at a time....

Fuck me, but spurs are very average

 

[Cheesy]

On Pep I'm afraid to say. Awful team selection. What makes it worse is that Spurs were shit. They were there for the taking and our best XI would have won this by a couple.

As for Mahrez..... he is fucking wank. What a waste of fucking money.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Poor from the first minute, we are far too slow with the ball it's frustrating. Pep got the team all wrong tonight, we need our urgency back and we look best when sane and sterling are both playing.

 

[west didsblue]

I think BM needs a more powerful server.

 

[Woody135]

Joke performance.
Terrible tactics, terrible result.
Weird starting 11 and then to not make those subs to final 2 mins when at no stage did they look like scoring was criminal

 

[colorado blue]

We obviously came into this with a ton of injuries and players who have only just come back from injury. We have no clue whether Kev was fully fit or whether there were better options than Delph of Mahrez (both of which we're as good as anyone today). Missing the penalty was huge, then we gave up a goal when we were completely dominating the game. It's going to take a massive performance next week now, certainly capable of winning but the ridiculous away goal rule puts a lot of pressure on us. Think we will need to score 3.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

What a miserable night of football.

Shite by the starting 11 and even worse by Pep.

Just my opinion, but I feel we are knackered as the season draws to a close.

 

[johnmc]

The one game left we could afford to lose

 

[Dave S]

Moan, moan, moan. So fucking predictable this forum!

 

[blueballs84]

Delph must start for the rest of the season.
And we need to sell Sane in the summer, useless.

 

[manlikepep]

Hard to believe I just witnessed a quarter final of the champions league. Honestly. I don’t CARE what team pep put out. I think I woulda seen more heart if we played our youth Eds team.

Oh well let’s batter them this weekend and smash em next week. Lesson learned .
