But we never looked as confident or assured. That miss really really killed us IMO. It was an enormous drain.

I'm not trying to stop you saying anything, I am just saying that I find the constant player x or player y are brick conversations and the overreactions to every defeat a bit repetitive and don't really get us anywhere. You don't even see any decent discussion about a players strengths or weaknesses 99% of the time.

Agreed. We were dominating the game at that point and if we took the lead I'm sure we'd have gone on to win comfortably but when we miss an absoute howler like that it's got to play on the team' minds and give the opposition confidence that it just ain't Spurs' night.

Is it, though? Lloris - Walker - Fazio - Verts - Rose - Bentaleb - Mason - Lamela - Eriksen - Chadli - Kane .
At the start of the season, would we have viewed that as a strong team? In fact, would opposition fans view that as a strong team now?
Poch's brilliantly constructed team and work ethic is what makes that team much more dangerous than it looks on paper, imo.
Its just so frustrating. Its not an overly difficult tie, we could have had much tougher drawn from the hat. So winnable yet we again just fold and simply exit a competition that we could have really had a go at if we had just professionally dealt with what was put in front of us, especially with two bites of the cherry

Play like that on Sunday and the racists will tear us a new one

Was it not pretty much the second string?
If we're in this competition next year, play the second string. Waste of fuking time.
But surely after witnessing these players play brick is the best time to talk about it?

Stambouli, Fazio and Davies are better than the squad players that they replaced. Would you rather have had Capoue, Kaboul and Naughton playing tonight? We all know that there is a drop in quality outside of the core group of players and that this needs addressing in the summer.
With regards to January, which players in these positions changed clubs that we should have signed?

George Hunt
Right.
And right now, Dembele instead of Chadli.
My point is that the manager has fashioned a very strong team from the players he has with regards to this who play in his desired style.
He has, since the middle of the season, known where he needs to strengthen the squad and he will do so in the summer whether through youths being developed as we speak and the odd signing.

Sure, if you have got something interesting to say. If it is just that play x or y is brick, I do not see the point.

I'm still traumatised by my last visit to Wembley to watch Spurs play Chavski but if we make errors in the final 3rds like we did tonight the scoreline could be even worse.

If we started Kane we would be through now.

85'-90' Nothing happened....
But seriously, to put a positive spin on things, if we had of taken our chances in the first half LAST WEEK we would't have had as much to worry about second leg.
Same goes for the first half tonight, if we had of taken our chances, the game would have been a completely different prospect.
For me it underlines the need to bring in a striker or two (in addition to golden Harry) who are clinical, pacey and hungry. I feel for Soldado to be honest, I really do, but a top-level striker should be rounding the keeper in that situation and slotting home.
I conversely feel like that the Spaniard is being treated a bit harshly on here, Fazio and Verthonghen's individual mistakes were as bad, if not worse and even more costly in the grand scheme of things.
Let's move on to Sunday and hope the lads can get up for it, because if they turn up with an attitude like they showed in the second half tonight, we're in for an absolute battering.

Same here,i'd personally have liked to prioritise the EL over the league cup. Gets us to where we want to be at the end of the day, that and a more prestigious cup.
