hahaha,,, there was more optimism of turning Liverpools 3-0 around a year ago than turning this around

What did you make of Spurs stadium? It sounded loud on the TV.

Looked and sounded awesome on my telly. Definitely helped them.

but that same squad is what 10 wins off a quadruple which is quite a remarkable thing on its own,not a lot broke and not a lot to fix realy

True and if be beat Spuds by 2 next week we can even lose one of the semi final games and win it. However, we need to play better than last night which we are capable off but we will see.

Pen scored and a 1-1 draw and it would have been a tactical master class from a genius....

Ridiculous over the top post.

Maybe. But Pep appears to have developed a knack of losing important CL games since the Barca days. Hopefully both he and the team
get it right next Wednesday.

We're going to have to score 3 to win this I feel. I can see City scoring first, then all hell breaks loose but they score even at 2-1 and we're in trouble. I can't believe that Pep of all coaches was so timid.

He clearly needs your advice.

I've paid £55 for a ticket so they better had. Well actually my lads have put some towards it for my birthday last January!

No I am saying it as it is. KDB and Sane on the bench when you donlt have your main man in Bernardo? Mahrez starting. This was the key game.

What's he going to do at OT? Adopt the same frightened approach? Spurs must have been absolutely loving that line-up and our caution. We had the chance to kill the tie there and then but because Pep has carried so much criticism in the past for not being pragmatic in the Champions League he changed his side. You have to stay true to your beliefs unless you really are up against it. Not the night to make the changes he did.

I'd have done a better job. I'd have played De Bruyne and Sane for a start.

If you can't criticise a coach when he makes obvious errors, then when can you?

True but the pen was not scored and the rest is history. Regarding Kun and his penalty record I just read on some website that his success rate is 85%. Not sure if this covers all his attempts in football or just City or which competitions. He has missed at least 4 in Europe that I can remember over the last 5 or 6 years so 85% seems much to high for this competition as I heard somewhere else?
