QF 1st Leg Post Match Thread

Nothing more frustrating than Mr offside Gabriel Jesus coming on and being caught offside within 10seconds, and to think some people think he's going to fill Agueros boots when he eventually leaves

As my lad said earlier... “I think he was born offside”

a big booing next week for the CL anthem is the last thing we need imo.

It's a bad result because the tie is now more difficult to win. I thought this was going to be more difficult than many expected but I did not expect that approach from Pep. He's given them way too much respect and from a tie that we should have won comfortably, we now find ourselves in a difficult position.

so therefore if he plays the right team at home we should win comfortably,,i dont think we will have any problems at all

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Oh yes he is

Probably the worst player in our team every time he plays. He just doesn’t fit into our style and he doesn’t help himself by being lazy, a coward and totally totally predictable every time he’s on the ball

He's come into one of the best teams in europe and the standards are sky high , he is not a shit player by any stretch of the imagination , he just isnt good enough for our first eleven , but he didnt play any worse than the other five forward players tonight.

Same as last year. How do we fuck up in the CL so much i simply don’t get it. I dunno. The team selection was bizzare

 

[Marvin]

On the plus side if there was one game that we could afford to lose 1:0 from the remaining fixtures then this was the one.

There are many other positives as well
We are not out of this by any stretch of the imagination.
We will now have to go full strength in the return leg.
Kane is highly likely to be out.
We could have Bernardo back and maybe Mendy or Zinch.
Hopefully Mahrez will find a seat on the bench.

I would go with Mendy because I doubt Zinch will make it. Delph is OK but it's unfair to expect him to come in after a long time out and play at that level. Could say the same about Mendy but at least he is a specialist left back.

Game in winnable but advantage Spurs in my opinion. Very annoying because that was so unnecessary

He over complicated things far too much in big away games when you need to go with your tried and tested.

He can say we played well, but we didn't. We offered no threat.

We did largely control the game but we had no drive from midfield so our front players were living off scraps. As soon as KDB came on we had another dimension - I really wish we’d had 20 mins more minutes of that.

Holds the record of most missed penalties now in CL

When Gundogan is on the pitch there seems lite argument against him taking them

 

[lazerblue]

Aguero needs to be taking off penalties

If gundogan is on the pitch yes, but if hes not then fuck knows

I’d go Danilo, Stones, Otameni, Laporte across the back in the second leg.
