Spurs (H) 2nd Leg - Post Match Thread

Homar said:
Bitterly disappointed. On balance, we deserved to go through. We were simply the better team today and last week. Our players gave everything. Even when it appeared the tie was over within the first ten minutes we battled on. Once again we found luck not to be on our side.

I have to say though that we are not solid enough to win the Champions League. Even if we had gone through, we’d see the same defensive flaws brutality exploited by the opposition in the later stages. You simply cannot gift the opposition two goals in the first ten minutes at this level.

Always thought that the Champions League was going to be step too far this season. We can still go on to have a phenomenal year by picking up the domestic treble. We need to put this behind us and make sure we punish them on Saturday.

Yes and when VAR is in your favour in the first leg you should take advantage of it, that penalty miss cost us dear in the end.

Still love Aguero to bits though.
 
Crushing. Such fine margins at this level. We gave it everything on and off the pitch but it wasn't to be. Not this time.

I'm sure Pep and the management team will get the lads fired-up for Saturday. We will need tonight's crowd there too - brilliant support tonight.

Pep said one angle it looks handball on another it doesn't, anyone got links?

In the Philippines and can hand on heart say I would have put my house, kids and misses on the line that it would be not given....

So wished I’d videod the coverage. It was the easiest decision in the history of officiating. THAT bad pal.
 
What I'm confused about is considering how easy and in control everything felt when we went 4-2 up, why did we immmediately bring Fernandinho on and slacken off?

Every time we went remotely near 4th gear Tottenham could not live with us at all, and it felt like a matter of formality that we'd score another goal or 2. Indeed the only way we were going to lose was by doing exactly what we did, slackening off, letting them get a foothold in the game again and score when it was too late for us to respond.

You can get fucked. It clearly hit his elbow. VAR didn’t show the ref the clearest view of the goal, yet before the goal was checked the replays showed clearly it hit his elbow. We got robbed tonight, bad defending or not.

Sorry fella but your grasping ....
 
Absolutely gutted by that tonight, what a shit way to lose out in the end having put in so much effort.

Not a night to be focussing on blame in the heat of the moment but it’s understandable.

I can’t believe the softness of the goals that we conceded tonight, Eric is the last player you’d expect to produce those two errors.

Colossal performance from KDB, and so many top notch, Kyle, Raheem, Bernardo were my pick of the bunch.

I just hope that Pep and his staff can lift the players for one last push, I think there’s a danger the players might suffer a bit of a hangover, especially with the next game coming so soon.

Football can be cruel and it’s been very fucking cruel tonight.

This team deserves the Domestic treble, come on Blue Boys.
