God sake Llorente you fucking lamp post

 

[THX2208]

Jermaine Jenas "I think you need to put a man on Lionel Messi" No fecking shit JJ ?

 

[dtxspurs]

Lol at people criticizing Lloris for not stopping Messi there.

 

[theShiznit]

Poor start and poor end.

Hugo thinking he's the French Benny Hill and is being chased by an army of bikini clad girls (no other reason for him to run around like that) and Sissoko deciding that when you are nearly last man dummying the ball with a man right up behind you is the way to go.

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

Lamela singlehandedly prevented us from drawing level when he got cramp.

 

[Chris12]

Individual mistakes and sloppiness have cost us yet again this season.

 

[lukadownthelane]

Lay off Sissoko. He’s worked hard since he came on. His faults are obvious and the manager knows it. He’s playing on the right of mf against Barcelona.

 

[VoteMe4Prez]

But again, why were 1 or 2 reinforcements not purchased in the summer? Literally all we required to be contenders for this thing

 

[knowlespurs]

Lloris was at fault there

Why, Poch wants him to play out , he gave it to trip who then passed to sissoko who fucking dummied it

I bet he thought he was smart when he said that

Own worse enemies tonight.

Be better off sacking the Champions League off this time round if these two performances are anything to go by.

 

[Chimbo!]

Is there any way out of this group now?

 

[dontcallme]

Lol at people criticizing Lloris for not stopping Messi there.

I think the criticism is for passing it out putting us under pressure.

 

[EaMidSpurs]

Seriously how anyone can defend playing Sissoko... got to be one of the worst I've ever seen in a Spurs shirt & wtf was Lloris doing again.

 

[dondo]

Lloris has cost us tonight

Captain senior player and World Cup winner how and why does he cost us so many goals from basic mistakes?

 

[Deleted member 27855]

Maybe Lloris should have had a few matches to get back in the swing of things before being thrown out there against one of the best teams in the world in a crucial CL match.

 

[doom]

2 observations:
1.) You can't decide to play for only half the game at this level.
2.) Our defense, particularly Lloris, lacks mental strength imo. He looked like a deer in the headlights when one on one with Messi there. Basically just fell over.

2. Lloris just won the world cup as captain

 

[paulcumpstone]

But who else can poch use the squad is lacking depth and quality throughout and lack of incomings has really dealt him a shit hand.

kyle walker peters for one, I agree poch has been shafted in the transfer market but he don't help himself either, sissoko was a shit experiment that should have ended over a year ago, cant play possession football with a guy with one of the most unreliable first touches ive ever seen

 

[thinktank]

Carabaou cup ftw tbh.

 

[Jaddas]

Need to beat PSV home and away and hopefully Inter don't fluke something against Barca like they did vs us.

It'll then come down to our game against them at Wembley.
