Saturday night's alright for fighting.

Over two legs we were crap. Deserved what we got. Shame, but we screwed it in the first leg. Barcelona go on to win it. Hopefully. Unless it's Ajax! Just concentrate on the league. We do not need the Dippers winning that.
Ederson questionable for 3 of Spurs goal in the tie.Laporte bottled the occasion and Ederson was poor. David Silva is declining at an alarming rate now, which is sad to see.
Ederson came and flapped at the first corner before the second one from the other side went in.
I thought the rest of the lads were bloody brilliant and very proud they got a deserved victory on the night.
Walker had another good game.
This is it I thought it was only going to be used for clear errors. That was so marginal it should have stood. It is going to kill the game I'm afraid.
Silva has been on the wane for some time now.I called it two years ago.yes he came back with a purple patch..but sentiment in football is a dangerous game to play.Yes two soft goals over both legs. Laporte was dreadful and at fault for all three goals. There was a bit of play after but his weak attempt at losing a header he was favourite for started it all. Not sure if he was looking to cover for Mendy which is why he was so error strewn but that was his worst game for us. Sadly David Silva should no longer be first choice either, incredible how quickly he has waned.
And tbf ..Pep has always said how difficult it is to win it.You could also say what bottle to come back from 2-1 down and on the verge of going out.
City are extraordinary. We won tonight and lost it in the 1st leg where we didn't play. Pep felt it was too big a risk that night given our physical condition.
We are in a weaker physical and mental condition now. On the ropes but within a week, we might be glad of this perverse as that might sound. Get through the next two games, and we'll be 100% focused with no distractions. Two Cup Finals ahead. Win those and it becomes doable.
I never really thought we could win the Champions League. We had too much on our plate.
