I hate this “oh we’re proud of the second half, there’s positives to take out of it”
You lost. End of.
Think we'll do better in the Europa league, where we belong. Might actually win something there
Surprised at this introspection by spurs fans.
Barca are a few levels above you. They are an incredible side. You did well against them and played with heart, but let’s face it your team (and ours before anyone uses Utd to beat me with) are anywhere near as good..
It is what it is.
Barca was always going to be tough. The Inter game was the killer
A few seasons ago we had the Nucleus of a very good team, we still have the nucleus of a decent team, but there it ends, bad transfer buisness too many N'koudou's, Ninjas,Llorentes,Janssens and all the rest and now this season no spend at all, so cant see any positives or lights at the end of tunnels, Poch can talk all he likes but I dont think even he believes that this squad will achieve any thing
That line about Messi
Completely agree though, people are saying that’s one of his best ever performances.
To be fair spurs played very well against barca, no alli or eriksen too and i thought at 2-3, you were the only team looking like scoring the next goal.

'You'
You as in the players you donut
If Lloris hadn't gifted them a goal after 2 minutes, and Danny Rose was playing instead of useless Davies, and Aurier was playing instead of snail-pace Trippier, it might have been a different game.
Even without Alli and Eriksen.
I think they had a couple of key players missing too.
So.... it was a good game to watch.

Not sure about that. If we had all our top players playing then maybe. Aurier has started this season well but I wouldn't have put it past him to be made to look foolish by this Barca team.

Yeah, while I was watching I was wondering if I was making it out to be overly-brilliant just to fit my own agenda, so reading all the reports today online reaffirmed just how good he was last night.

I'm no expert, but why didn't lloris come off his line for the 4th goal when he was 1 on 1 with Messi?
Messi would have dinked it over him if he had. Or just feint and send him awol again and tap it into an empty net.

Stop searching for what ifs spurs, you cane up against a truly great team and we’re beaten. No shame at all. You aren’t nearly as good..arsenal weren’t for many years either and got ranked. So did we. Completely tanked in one sided finals. A Barca with Messi are miles better than premier league opponents.

Although if anything the scoreline flattered Spurs we still managed to give them a bit of a scare without several of our top boys and I'd like to think that with Eriksen, Dele, Verts, Dembele and Rose starting we would of given a much better account of ourselves. I don't think thats searching for what ifs I think its a reasonable assumption.
I'm also pretty sure if Gaz had started instead of Hugo we wouldn't of given them a goal head start.

Full squad, they’d still have won. They also had players out. Just accept a better team came and beat you. They are a level up from the premier league, and you have a good account of yourselves..
Absolutely would have been a different game with a full team out. Aurier, Rose, Verts, Dembele, Dier, Eriksen and Ali would have seen a different outcome I am certain of that. As Ace said Messi had so much room in the middle of the pitch, it was too easy.
just seen this. Good article, Ledders 5
