Post Match - Roma 1-1

[Molson Canadian]

hopefully different referee for the second match. 

[adam]

Should of won. Looked a lot better when we upped the tempo. Gonna be a struggle next week. Think Roma will look a lot better especially going forward. Jose will be delighted with that result. 

[Legend_in_blue]

As expected.

 

However, to be done by our "world class" midfielder not tracking back and giving up running... criminal.

Bottled it tbh, but probably our best performance under Rodgers in Europe 

[BKLFox]

Big changes for Spurs we need our 1st 11 fresh it’s a 1 off game we have to be fully prepared 

[wardyfox86]

Admittedly strange thinking, but we are so bad at defending leads I almost think it's better for our mindset not to be holding onto something going into the away leg.

 

Clutching, I know.

Watched the boot room last night, about Liverpool walking round their stadium to take in all the boos before kickoff before beating them, I'd love it if we did the same. Gonna be a spicy second leg though

With Brendan in charge it won’t happen. 

He has played 2 up top plenty of times. It’s just means 5 at the back.

[sishades]

Pleased with the effort, played well for almost 90 minutes and......West "World Champions " Ham got beaten. Proud of our boys who showed that they are a good side.

[splinterdream]

Proud we've given ourselves a chance, we played very well, hope we can do the same in Rome 

[Dusty]

Shame our shooting wasn’t a bit better, barely forced their keeper into any saves. I feel he could’ve been beaten a few more times.

[Stevosevic]

We can win this. All to play for. 

[EastAnglianFox]

They really aren't that special, if we play how we played in the second half against PSV then we do that lot.

 

They are just very streetwise and know every trick in the European shithousing book so we need to be on it from minute one

[Tielemans63]

I feel like we were a fully fit Vardy away from a win.

 

They struggled with our pace so start Harvey in the Olimpico imho.

Hard to disagree with that. If they play like that again we should be winning the tie for sure. 

[Manini]

They’ll be a different side at home, could work in our favour as it’ll leave us space for us to attack. 
 

I’m quite glad we’re not taking a lead with us as it takes away the temptation for Brendan to sit on it and try and defend it for 90 minutes in the lions den. At least this way he’ll have to set us up to 1. Have a go or 2. Counter attack them.

Nothing to fear going to Rome from what I’ve seen there, would have hated going there behind, but can’t see any reason why we don’t go through in the tie now.

[Daggers]

Effort, great, shame about the set-up. Once again Rodgers picks a lone forward when a brace would've had more impact. One more time the side has dug him out of a hole. 

 

So damn bored of us playing from the back when other options are faster and better suited to breaking a tight defence.

 

Smalling was outstanding.

[whoareyaaa]

Good game, all to play for in the second leg.. happy with that tbh.. we looked a lot better when Nacho and Barnes came on I don't know if we changed shape but we looked a better team

[Vazman]

Played well, need to be on it next week though, at their place, cant afford to not, put those chances away.

[LcFc_Smiv]

Great performance on the whole, my only gripe is the way we finished, you've got 5 minutes to try and get a winner, their not interested in attacking but we misplace so many passes, little slips etc.

 

We can do these next week.

[BraunstoneFox23]

They will try and shit house us, but there’s enough there for our lot to believe we can do this. Big big game next week. COYB

[ronnup]

We were the better team all night and should've won, against Roma. Confidence building performance

Eh? How have we bottled it?

Oh get real. They did not bottle it, Roma are a good side so please can the mods ban the usage of the B word .
