Spurs (H) 2nd Leg - Post Match Thread

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Proud of the lads.....played amazing tonight. Mistakes costs us and Laporte made a few but over the season, he's been one of our best players so not going to put the blame all on him.....think we dug a hole for ourselves in 1st leg! A FA Cup win and then the league will soon help us forget nights like this!;)

Pick ourselves up blues. We go again.

Probably best angle.

Did the resident BT referee comment on that goal anyone?
What did he say?

 

[Sir peace frog]

As a great italian manager once said
Its football, only saw the second half due to work ,the sheer elation when raheem scores then desolation when its disallowed, fuck it dust ourselves down and fucking win on Saturday ,that's all we can do

didnt cover himself in glory tonight, flapped at the ball that gave em the corner for their handball goal

Thank you watch out you don't get called a Chelsea fan, some fans just don't like the truth,
Ederson is 2nd to none with his feet but he flaps to much & should have bossed the 6 yard area tonight.

That’s as clear as day.

As was the ‘angle’ BT showed.

The bent bastards.

I wasn’t going to say it, as I hadn’t seen that angle so couldn’t be sure, but this does support my belief that VAR will be largely implemented and used in order to allow them to maintain plausible deniability in still getting certain calls wrong, when it suits them.

In this case, I said at the time to a mate that they were oddly only prominently showing the one angle to Cakir that made it very difficult to discern if it his arm. There were about 5 others available and they only showed two on his screen, and he ignored the other one (which was also a better angle), instead discussing the dubious one with the VAR official via his mic.

And save this post: when faced with this evidence, and having reviewed with VAR, they will just say something to the effect of “well, we only have a limited time to review and cannot look at all of the angles; we depend on the VAR team to highlight the best camera angles to review.”

We didn’t lose tonight because of VAR, but it certainly didn’t help us.

Well thanks Tolm someone with a brain backs me up.

We were shite in our box & Dave is tired.

We have a string of top class defenders but the defence still lacks solidity and has little in the way of waterproofing. We let in some right soft uns when two passes ago there was no threat.

We had that game by the throat, in both legs, but let go of the Haringey gizzard twice. Yer can't do that at any level.

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

Have no problem with Llorente's goal. If that's not given, the game's gone. But it was deliberated over for quite a while until they came to their decision. They seemed to come to the decision on our disallowed goal more quickly, so seemingly a clear offside. But can someone clear up the offside rule for me. I thought if the defending player played it back and it was deflected that it wasn't offside? I seem to remember something similar in a Liverpool v Spurs game a couple of seasons ago, Lovren the defender I think but can't remember the exact situation.

 

[toffee balls]

Can't give away 3 goals at home at this stage of the CL and expect to qualify. Some brilliant performances tonight but David Silva was the proverbial chocolate teapot again and Laporte cost us 2 of those goals & didn't cover himself in glory for the third.

Simple fact is that we weren't brave enough in the first leg. Liverpool scored 4 tonight in Porto when they could have sat back. Ajax went to Madrid & Turin and were true to their footballing beliefs. We lost that game at White Hart Lane.

Never mind ,I’m sure he will get the chance to make amends on Saturday .

Sentiment will kill this season if we are not careful.

 

[manimanc]

You laughed at my Ederson post??

I'm asking if you think different

I think you should be taking your hat off to the team for going from first whistle til last.

I said on here a few weeks ago that any poster coming on picking holes and highlighting players should do one, this part of the season, the tail end of the season when the team have gave it their all for months and months, it's all about the results and not the performance.

Yeah?
