Champions League Semi Finals 30th April/1st May

There’s that famous Spur attacking intent.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Loris was completely static there. He’s really not a great keeper.

 

[Mancityus]

Spuds very lucky but still will not last

The media were regularly telling us that Spurs have a 100% winning record at the stadium. Only fair that they now state that Spurs have lost 33% of their games.

The radio commentary is biased. They barely talk about Ajax having the ball. When Spurs have it, the commentators get overly excitable. All rather irritating.

Worst thing that ever happened to commentary was people cutting up clips to use in promo's. Now they are all desperate to have that big famous clip celebrating a goal etc.

Other than the single tier stand it's the same as every other modern ground, looks too American aswell. Advertisements galore

Ours would be better, if we built a similar stand at one end, imo.

Travesty that we're not playing this game, Spurs are an embarrassment, but that's cup football I suppose.

Pochettino putting on his game changers ;-)

Danny Rose - ****

Proper **** isn’t he?!

How the #### did Tottenham In Their New Stadium FC knock us out

Pep made the mistake of thinking they were good in the first leg, and in the second leg Laporte was looking to pay off his mortgage early with help from Daniel Sturridge the bookie.

Jenas now referring to Spurs as ‘we’.

 

[cleavers]

Better team over two legs.....

They weren't the better team in either leg for me.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Better team over two legs.....

Nah.
Our home game tactics were dictated by our fuck up in the away leg.
1-1 away and we’d have dealt with them comfortably at home.

Completely agree, if you take the single tier out of their ground it's a copy of the arsenal ground with 2 more advertisement boards going around the ground. Ours would look superb

 

[mccity]

Yes it's a tough ask to go for all four , too many high intensity games, injuries, internationals etcetera. It's a shame Liverpool have pushed us to the wire in the league, we are so far ahead of the rest we could have rested players in league games otherwise.

On the plus side going ahead, these are the things we can learn from.

?
NFL and MLB stadia have hardly any visible ads.
The TV coverage however...

 

[eversince 76]

Ajax have run out of ideas. Apart from the first half hour when they were all over Spurs, they haven’t looked anything special. The away goal will be big for them though.

Could maybe should have scored another 2. Spuds no ideas and no chances. It amazes me how they knocked us out.
I would be more humble and give Ajax a bit more credit. And I leave out the money involved.

 

[dadnlad]

this to easy they've backed right off

 

[inchy14]

Think @malg caught a few there....

 

[Neville Kneville]

Pep made the mistake of thinking they were good in the first leg, and in the second leg Laporte was looking to pay off his mortgage early with help from Daniel Sturridge the bookie.

Imo, if he hadn't, we'd be 2nd now.

Better team over two legs.....

One City penalty miss
One wrongly awarded goal to them even with var
Multiple City chances and breaks missed during the middle of the 2nd leg
Best City defender making his two worst mistakes of the season at the worst possible time.
Our two best central midfielders not able to start the first leg
Spurs allowed to hack our players multiple times near their box without punishment.

Other than that, Spurs were clearly the better team.
