You have to see this in the scheme of chasing four trophies. If we were 10’points ahead in the league it might have been different.You say that, but avoiding getting blitzed isn't in this team's DNA. Opposing teams try and avoid getting blitzed by us don't they ??
It's HT and we were a save away from an away goal and taking the lead.
The whole game would have had a different complexion if that had gone in.
If Gundo had taken the Pen and missed people would have been up in arms that Sergio didn't take it!
We are more than capable of turning around a 1-0 deficit at home.
And it's not like we haven't Won the League Cup, are in the FA Cup Final and we are 6 PL wins off retaining the PL Title!
What a shit season! Pep is clueless! Bring back Hughes!
If we beat Palace on Sunday and turn this tie around next Wednesday the sentiment will all change.
You've been doing so well lately too.
Ok well if that is the plan the club should let us know.before fans spunk hard earned money on the champions league games, they should say lads and lasses we aren't really arsed in the champions league the Prem is our number 1 priorityNot picking the strongest team in every game because they will tire and end up dropping points in the league, which is the number 1 priority.
He didn't want to use De Bruyne or Sane tonight because I'm almost 100% certain they're both starting in the more important game vs Palace. I was surprised they came on at all in the end./QUOTE]
My quote which pep uses ALL the time the next match is as far as he plans for.. Could he not have played tonights team v palace and the better team Sane, kev tonight .
Agree we unlucky but we did not play well. Never worked LlorisYou have to see this in the scheme of chasing four trophies. If we were 10’points ahead in the league it might have been different.
Judge this result next Wednesday. I thought we played well and were very unlucky.
Clearly he didn'tIf only Pep had thought of that...
That said Peps strategy and selection was totally wrong.
Any team that hopes to win the CL should have the ability to turn around a 1 goal defeat at home in the second leg.
Clearly he didn't
Season ticket holder in division 2 mate and if you think pep picked the best team tonight you are sorely mistakenThe sense of entitlement of some newbie blues is absurd.
We can’t win every game you clowns and real football isnt PlayStation football you cant just play your best team game after game.
Pep picked the right team tonight and we’re bang in the tie and still favourites to progress
Did any blues who were there see what happened with that pitch invader. It looked as though delphy was about to confront him before the camera panned away
Delph was most certainly at fault, initially he gave Son too much room, secondly he thought the ball was going out of play, and when Son brought it back he did nothing to block the shot and I think he was half appealing tooI know the rules have changed but I don't think that should have been a penalty, the miss might have even affected us negatively too if anything. Would have preferred Kane stayed uninjured, Delph was not at fault for that either way but I don't want any excuses if/when we turn the tie around at home.

But if we had won 1-0 from that penalty everyone would have said he got it right and preserved KDB and Sane for Sunday!
It was always going to be a tougher game than people expected, we walk away 1-0 down and that is not the end of the tie whatsoever.
Bring on Palace Sunday.
No idea pal you tell meSo what was his thought process, to lose the game...
There are different types of one goal defeat though. This is the worst kind and we left ourselves vulnerable to it.
