Spurs (H) 2nd Leg - Post Match Thread

[The slaughtered lamb]

Have no problem with Llorente's goal. If that's not given, the game's gone. But it was deliberated over for quite a while until they came to their decision. They seemed to come to the decision on our disallowed goal more quickly, so seemingly a clear offside. But can someone clear up the offside rule for me. I thought if the defending player played it back and it was deflected that it wasn't offside? I seem to remember something similar in a Liverpool v Spurs game a couple of seasons ago, Lovren the defender I think but can't remember the exact situation.

Scratch that, I've just seen the video above and its handball, bent bastards.

Gundogan had a good game mate

Not in my opinion bud, thought he was slow, not brave, side passing, and poor floated crossing.

I think you should be taking your hat off to the team for going from first whistle til last.

I said on here a few weeks ago that any poster coming on picking holes and highlighting players should do one, this part of the season, the tail end of the season when the team have gave it their all for months and months, it's all about the results and not the performance.

Yeah?

No mate it's the biggest game of the year, Pep & owners want this whether you or me don't, the players did give all & for the neutrals it was class but we havnt learnt anything from Monaco & Liverpool we just bottle this big occasions. That goal hand or not it was shit.

Loris although conceded 4 was class with his hands something Ederson has to get better with.

 

[TINY]

If that's your genuine take, you should never bother watching another game of football again, because you're fucking clueless if you think Gundogan played anything less than brilliantly tonight, and Mendy was fine.

Find another sport to watch, cricket has just started for the year.

Awww am I not allowed an opinion? Your opinion is he played brilliant, my opinion is he was poor. Leave it at that and stop with the nonsense. Cheers

 

[manimanc]

Laporte bottled the occasion and Ederson was poor. David Silva is declining at an alarming rate now, which is sad to see.

Ederson came and flapped at the first corner before the second one from the other side went in.

I thought the rest of the lads were bloody brilliant and very proud they got a deserved victory on the night.

Walker had another good game.

You can't blame ederson. We had 3 players around lorente for his goal, we lòst this in the first leg.

If we'd started the first leg at this intensity of tonight we'd be through, as simple as that .

 

[SVP]

You fuckin wot?

he was an early Pep outer who had to suffer us becoming centurions last season-likes to get the odd petty dig in on nights like tonight.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

As soon as we went ahead Pep should have closed it off, we looked vunrable & gaps were showing.

I think we do not have the wherewithal to maintain that kind of game for any length of time. We are an attacking side, pure and simple. Everybody on the pitch plays football with one notion - attack. Defend when you have to, and try to do it well, but to choke up a game and invite a team to give it a go is not the way we have been set up. It would work. We can manage a game rather well when we have a couple of goals cushion but when it's on a knife edge and we need a two goal margin, any mistake leaves a set of teeth marks on the sky blue arse.

 

[TINY]

Thought they both played well today, especially gundogan.

You genuinely thought Mendy played well? Good this football lark isn’t it, opinions opinions, be boring if we all thought the same.

Always amuses me how different two people can see the same game. Fair play bud.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Nowt you can say about that really. Rollercoaster of a match, if we can do a domestic treble while getting knocked out in the QF in an all-time classic match you'd take it right?

Pep has to get everyone up and for this and looking for revenge.

 

[BosnianBlue]

I have never felt physically sick after a game of football before... Until now!

Imagine how Rags felt at 93:20.

 

[handsofstone]

Absolute gash

How did we let Spurs win this

We are shit across 2 legs

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

I thought Pep mostly got it right tonight but I really don't understand why he didn't introduce Jesus for the last 10 minutes. Both KDB & Gundogan had given their all & both loomed shattered.

He had Sterling central, Bernardo out wide when he could have taken Gundo off and played Jesus up front with Sterling drifting out wide.

 

[sir baconface]

So no ticket for the spurs fans' car parked next to you with a pensioner squashed under the rear axke?

VAR says pensioner crawled underneath.

 

[brummie blue]

Devastated after that.
Can’t even celebrate goals anymore for fear of VAR retracting them. Fair enough it was offside but in terms of the handball football is subjective and some officials on another day disallow that. Takes the fun out of the game constantly waiting on decisions - especially when you’re in the ground and can’t even fucking see anything on a big screen it’s ridiculous.

Several reports circulating that the images/replays the ref see's of a VAR incident are different to those the TV viewers see, and clearly not as good. That makes VAR pointless.

Loris is shite.
We're not even 10 years into the champions league.

As a club we're still trying to achieve better where other teams, established teams in the champions league, don't make the quarters/semis.
If anything we're overachieaving.
Saying lloris is class and ederson is shite in the same sentence is laughable.
Show me some stats to back that statement up!!

Yeah?

of course its all about results and tonight we didnt get the result so the performance dont matter

Not sure what you think but I just new they would score I feel it all the time..

We needed a 5th a fucking 5th & it was good enough, frustrating but gutted we let them in far to easily

 

[The blue phantom]

That was fuckin painful, moreso in injury time in such a huge game, talk about being cruel.

Gutted for the lads especially Kev/Raz/Bernardo - all three of them were completely possessed tonight and Kev single handedly ran the show in the second half.

Will be really hard to pick ourselves up from this but if anyone can do it it’s this group of players.

I feel totally drained.

Haven't celebrated a goal like that since 9320 and it turns out to be a dud. Could cry.

 

[Bill]

VAR just kills everything good about football. The excitement of a last minute winner to feeling empty. Go with the on pitch decision like we’ve done for a 100 years. All this does is allow a faceless UEFA puppet to shaft certain teams.

Absolutely spot on.
