***spurs v city cl 1/4 final official match thread***

[Mase]

Can't be arsed going through the thread but is Sergio getting almighty grief like Mahrez did when miised at Klanfield?

If he scores we get a fantastic result , now its looking very iffy!

No, because

1. at least Sergio got it on target
2. Sergio didn't take the ball off another player
3. Sergio has won us the league before

I think the biggest gripe is not with the penalty, which was a poor and very predictable penalty.
The biggest issue was the team selection. Pep got it wrong he didnt give them the respect they deserved. We were on the back foot from an hour before the game even started.
Then he made a mess of the subs, bringing them on in the 88th minute!
Overall a bad night for the manager.
The lucky thing is it wasn't 2 or 3 nil and were still in with a decent shout, if we get the team right, that is.

Who knew that losing Zinchenko could have such a high likelihood of derailing the season.

Delph gash yet again. at fault for the goal. Ederson should've saved it too.

Pep rightly viewing this as a 180 minute match and tried to balance that with the Palace one coming up and the crazy fixture schedule.

Your understanding of the realities of the game continues to astonish me. Son's finish was text book, a close-range, hard shot under the keeper, Eddy never had a chance.

Ederson was injured due to fuckign Delph giving the ball away....... again - check the footage...100% that cunts fault he got injured which probably contributed to him not getting down quick enough for that shot.

Who's fault was it that allowed a player, who had only played a fuckign LC game of note since Xmas, play yesterday ?

Baldies...that's who's fucking fault it was.

No one has missed more Champions League penalties than Aguero in the last decade.

For such a world class striker, that's embarrassing if true.

Yep, 4 from 13.

[Mase]

4 from 13 doesn't seem too bad, the problem I have is the ones that have been saved haven't been world class saves. Just shite half hearted pens.

He almost always puts them at a nice height for the keeper, gets away with it a lot, what got me last night is Lloris had moved before he hit it, very poor from Kun.

He might have had another couple of goes last night, Rose twice on Mahrez were decent penalty shouts, especially the one where he just pushed him over at the byline, the ref gave him a free later when Trippier did the same as Rose.

[Hazy2]

0-1 Half time, I am not worried the 2nd leg was always when this got decided. We have learned from the disaster at Liverpool last year 2 holders in MF, not SURE WE HAVE SEEN THAT OFTEN, NOT a great watch but if Kun buries the pen job done Fucking ell some of the knee jerks on here are shocking, shameful. I am with 2 blues who never post anything anywhere and they read the thread over breakfast. ONE OF THEM HAS CLOSE TO CHOKED LAUGHING AT IT I KID YOU NOT!!!!!!!!!!! What a stadium BTW.

I noticed that Lloris moved before Serg had kicked it. Poor from him.

I'd wager good money DeGea would have kept it out with his feet

[Wonderwall]

If walker wasn't so quick, he would be nowhere near this team. He gives the ball away so much and makes so many unforced errors, is prone to fuck up majorly too, is constantly out of position.... However he has pace.

Not a fan this season, not a patch on the walker of last season. I would put Danilo ahead of him but he wasn't even in the squad last night.

Pep messed up with his line up last night and his in game management was appalling. He is the best manager out there but he isn't above criticism.

Wrong again - Last year we should have played with 2 holding midfielders and yesterday we shouldn't have done.

I was watching the match with 2 mates over from the UK , they used to be part of the Kippax crew in the 80,s and 90,s and they were spewing at the line up - screaming at the end because of Baldies fucked up tactics and line up.

We only started playing when KDB came on - criminal to keep him out of the team.

And as for not worried - 1 goal from them and we need 3....let that sink in.

Yet if Aguero scores we likely win it and Pep is hailed as a genius for not taking risks and coming away with the lead and an away goal, fine lines.

We didn't win and more crucially we didn't score and when you don't score in the 1st leg you are up against it- as WW says , hes not beyond criticism and deserves all the shite he is getting today.

What irks me is some fans still defend him when he does fuck up !

Who's defending him? I'm just pointing out there's fine lines between success and failure at this level.
