Spurs (H) 2nd Leg - Post Match Thread

I hate to be the one to say it but in hindsight the VAR decision was correct by the letter of the law, there is little doubt that the ball hit his arm but it was down by is side and as such in a normal position as indicated in the latest rule changes. As such it is irrelevent but frustrating for us to take.

Wrong you can't score or control it with any part of your arm by the letter of the law, the offside rule defines it. It doesn't matter if it was deliberate or not.
 
I am devastated right now. This was a real chance for us to win the CL this year. I have a really bad feeling that the Scouse ****s will win the CL. The away game did it for us. Pep should have just picked the best team that game. Spurs were there for the taking and we conceded idiotic goals.
Btw, what's Pep's away record during his Barca days?

I like VAR. it’s cruel but fair. Seriously people just need to accept defeat like men (or women). Wasn’t meant to be.

Cruel is exactly right. Celebrating that winner for a full minute before seeing chalked off is possibly the cruelest thing I’ve gone through as a City fan. Relegations one can see coming for weeks off. That immediate joy to despair is pretty hard to take.
 
PEP Yeah, it’s tough. It’s cruel but we have to accept it. It was a nice game for everyone. Second half we did everything. We scored the goals we needed but congratulations to Tottenham and all the best for the semi-finals.


PEP I am so proud, especially of the fans for the reaction. I never saw the stadium like today. We are sad for all of them but they know we have everything but football is unpredictable and unfortunately we are not in the next stage,
 
Last season no VAR we got no decision. This season VAR still got no decision. Really really bad luck but that's football.
I feel like the generation of Yaya Toure, Ferna, Aguero, Silva, Kompany brought us bad luck in Europe. None of them are decisive in important CL match when we needed them. It's not like they have no talent. Chelsea won it despite being absolutely battered in Semi & Final, even against Napoli in 16th.

Look in the bright side, we'll have a lot of time to make sure we win our remaining league matches!
 
Appreciate the 'likes' my fellow Blues but Im still no closer to knowing what the fuck happened and why that goal was disallowed. No fucking way Im clicking on the BBC to find out. So I'll hang around until a fan explains what i missed or posts a video. My lad is askin also. So when someone gets a moment can they let a fellow Blue who is still confused as to what happened. Stream cut out as we was celebrating. Thanks in advance.

VAR doesn’t exist and we’re all in here with our cocks out proclaiming ourselves the greatest team ever.

Instead we’re out and a lot of people’s heads have suddenly gone.

Thought we were absolutely immense as an attacking force. We played some extremely high level football at the highest level of the game.

We were much the better team.

Thought the players gave everything they had.

Thought Pep’s plan was spot on.

Thought the crowd were colossal.

I’m extremely proud of the club tonight.

Sometimes it just isn’t meant to be.

Thank you for saying the truth.
 
Can see this having a longer term effect on things as it's known that we have a decent number of fans who already have distaste for CL, and believe in conspiracy's against us and this just fuels that further.

In order to keep top players you need to be seen as one who gets CL, not any domestic treble. They don't give a care about that.

We have some players already looking to possibly go in Leroy and Gundo and I think this might settle it for at least Leroy, even if he doesn't track back enough.

Pep's approach leaves us vulnerable here at this level as teams get better because they know what he wants to do, and just wait for their chances on the counter where the talent is good enough and we seem to have mentality problems.

I think some of that comes from the changes to the back 4 that are constant. Yes, injuries are partially to blame, but our 2 centre halves change all of the time. Are there any top clubs or even good clubs that do so as frequently? Our depth there, as well as the injury records of Kompany and lately Stones, plus concerns about Nico leaving combined with Vinny's age, needs for Pep's system, his emphasis on a happy dressing room and a possible transfer ban lead him to possibly let such a rotation go on.

Kev, Raz and Bernardo were immense, but it wasn't enough.

3 goals at home is a sad thing to ignore over very borderline VAR decisions had they gone either way. Both went against us, but I don't think it was a conspiracy.
 
Extremely gutted. our best chance to win the CL down the drain. Real Madrid will spend big, Bayern already spunked €80m on defender. Its only going to be harder. Our window was to win it now.

Hard to describe the emotions. VAR is an emotion killer either way it seems

Every single goal I am half celebrating and half watching the replay just in case.

When that replay popped up I was devastated. The handball would have been tough to overrule, I haven’t seen anything conclusive either way.

In the end we have given absolutely everything but mistakes in both legs have beaten us.

Totally agree. There was one replay angle (not the one the ref looked at, obviously) that showed very clearly that the ball changed direction twice - first when it hit what can only have been his elbow, at which point the ball headed straight downwards, and then it changed direction again when it hit his thigh.

Yep, the behind goal one spelled it out to the world. Cruel and so very unfair.

Big effort required by Pep to pick up the boys for Saturday... currently taking comfort that we can still win the league. Everything needs to be thrown at the next two games. Absolutely everything...

Sane needs to start surely???

Don't bet on it. Mahrez will probably start ahead of him.
 
Our defending was poor tonight The third was criminal and really kills me to say it but Spanish Dave has offered precious little all season and went AWOL Tonight
