Match Threads Spurs vs Liverpool - Match Thread - Champions League Final

[U.S. Spurs Fan]

My summary of first half:

Both teams played like shit. One team got a ridiculously lucky bounce that allowed them to score.

Game is there for us, but goodness I honestly can't say any one of our players had even a good first half. Someone needs to step up. They look nervous even after 45 minutes which is not a good sign.

I just really hope it does not end 1-0. If Pool sadly wins, I hope they do it because they earned it, cause they certainly didn't do much to "earn" the first goal.

Feels like a dagger to the heart that pen, coys!!!!!

 

[The Long Suffering One]

Not sure if any1 has mentioned this but this is the same ref who gave that controversial last min penalty to Utd against PSG..

 

[danfeen]

That ref is an absolute ****

 

[sebo_sek]

Sadly putting kane on was a mistake. Like I said before. He should have been put on at around 60 minutes. Winks a real fighter. Eriksen needs to show his world class status. We are very much in this.

 

[hutchiniho]

Harry clearly not fit for me.
He’s had three chances to make positive drives into the box, but just hanging back.

All guns for the first five after half time. Have to get a goal otherwise this is going to be a real damp squib

I don't think I've ever seen a Champions League final with so little atmosphere. WTF.

 

[ackie]

I still think we will win 2 1.
Coys

This unnatural arm position thing is very dubious. I domt think it was the correct decision personally. The ball hits his shoulder/chest. Doesnt matter if his arms are doing the YMCA.

 

[Frozen_Waffles]

Winks sissoko and rose great

Dele and son not so great, Moura soon

 

[ShaunL84]

What a lacklustre performance. Liverpool have sat back after their early goal, which I thought was a really unfortunate penalty.

Moura has to come on. For either Alli or Son.

 

[freeeki]

45 minutes to prove the Spursy/legends types wrong.

Come on you fucking twats.

 

[midspur]

How in seven hells is Steve Mc-fucking-Manamanamanaman an impartial choice for co-commentator??

He’s co-commenting with Jenas, it’s just that all you can hear is Mcman’ s whiny voice.

 

[spurs mental]

Joke referee so far. Giving us nothing. Ball clearly out there at the end and waves play on. Shocking decision for penalty. Sissoko's arm doesn't move towards the ball.

 

[Fredo]

BROOO what the fuck is going on, we can't even get out of our penalty box most of the time

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

I don't think I've ever seen a Champions League final with so little atmosphere. WTF.

That's what happens when you fill up a stadium with corporate rubbish.

 

[barry]

It'll be 2-1 to us by the 75th minute. We'll win this boys.

 

[SdB]

Like I said. Alli just gives the ball away and over hits passes. He's a complete luxury and Lucas must be fuming. Eriksen does much the same as Alli. I honestly think it should only ever be one of them.

Completely agree.
Ali does my fricking head in. So casual and so ineffective.

Liverpool are plying a high line and having Moura on the edge of their defenders will give them plenty more to think about than Kane stumbling and bumbling with his back to goal.

 

[spur_souljah]

I bet if that was us, the referee would not be pointing to the spot..

 

[dg8672]

Aside from a borderline BS penalty call, that was our half. Let Mauricio work his halftime magic and come out firing.


PS - I only say borderline because as much as I disagree with the call (and the lack of VAR), you have to have better presence of mind than to have your arm out like that in that spot. There isn’t a player in the world who won’t see that as an opportunity.
