I can understand Pep is trying to battle on all fronts, but that was a bit too conservative. We could and should have beaten Spurs.
If we win at Palace, this will be hailed as not too bad a a result.
Lose, and we could see the benefit thieves rubbing their hands.
 
Win on Sunday the win the 2 home games, all is well in the world
Not often you win all 3 games when this sort of thing happens against the same team, so tonights was the one to lose if we had to

Losing obviously wasn't the intention.

Staying in the tie and conserving energy looked like the game plan from the off.

If we were playing Barca or Juve I might agree with a tactic like that.

Spurs? Nah. Lost four of last 6 games.

For me, putting the game out of their reach tonight would surely have been a better tactic making the 2nd leg a formality. Tonight was a mistake. Let’s hope it’s not a costly one
 
Thought the ref was a bit of a homer for Spurs but what's new there, at this stage of the CL when City play? Wasn't a huge baring on the game tonight though to be fair but it was still annoying at points.

Rose fouls Sterling with his arms all over the place, Gundogan immediately after gets pulled up for use of his arm across the player. A minute later Fernandinho is grabbed and pushed back by the face(Rose again or Mora maybe not sure who it was) and the ref doesn't see it... they were trying to get a reaction from Dinho all night in my view, orders from Poch?

Not 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.

No chance PL is the priority for the owners, for us fans maybe, but not to Mansour, Khaldoon, Soriano. They want the CL for global recognition
 
The 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

Wow what is this conserving energy bullshit

It''s supposedly what we have been doing the last few games. Just trying to work out which game we are conserving it for.

Personally, I think the players are mentally and physically tired and that is having a knock on affect on our performances of late.
