Curtis misses and that's it

 

[lmach]

That'll do it. Weird night – never felt like we'd go through.

 

[Raveneyes]

Ah well. Domestic double it is.

Mo's outside chance of the Balon D'or is gone too.

 

[Lefti93]

Well what a surprise Darwin. Useless. We didn't deserve to go through at all.

 

[Gak Attack]

Nunez and Jones as 2nd and 3rd didn't exactly give you confidence.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Had our chances tonight but on balance across the two legs PSG were better and they were the only team that looked like scoring in extra time

Had no faith when Nunez stepped up. Would have preferred Gakpo & Van Djik before him or Jones

 

[peternorth]

Ah well. As we've been told many times over the years when we were winning UCLs, the Premiership > UCL

 

[largebus]

Only extra time onwards mind you but on the balance of the two legs it feels that was right result.
What's Trent's injury like? Is it a tweak to avoid England duties?

 

[_Cerberus_]

Not surprised we lost on penalties. I wasn't confident as they had more players who kick at goal with a lot of power, and precision. Their goal shooting all game made me nervous, just going wide of the post time and time again from outside the box. We only looked dangerous on corners and barely created much in general play.

Not sure what Nunez and Jones were thinking on their penalties, absolute snail paced kicks that made it easy to stop. Whilst they thumped theirs in, and good angles too. PSG showed how you take penalty kicks.

As much as its disappointing to be knocked out, and the fact I was confident thay we could make the semis or go all the way this year, if we could just get past PSG. But now we can just focus on the EPL. I rather see us get the 20th and 21st league titles tbh.

We look very banged up for the league cup final this weekend. Hopefully all of our injuries today are not too serious. Only 10 more games to go across all comps.

 

[Sozabarus]

Fair play to PSG, they were cocky all week and backed it up. We can have no complaints, we were definitely second best over the two legs.

 

[Mr Meow]

Yeah they deserved to go through in the end. We didn't play very well over the tie. A bit all over the shop. PSG were top notch. Still, tonight was even. We just couldn't score.

 

[The Punter]

It's the owner's fault.

 

[RossFC]

PSG’s goal was offside, crap way to go out because of that.

 

[Dylan8]

PSG are the real deal.

Only so much you can do when you have one proper forward and a bunch of guys around him on the front line who have skated by doing not much for a whole season. On that note I'd like to see more of Chiesa now. How many more of those showings from Jota, Nunez and Diaz does he need to get a look in?

 

[The Punter]

Salah post-match sure looked like someone who thinks he's just played his last Champions League match at Anfield.

 

[Cuzz09]

Don't care one bit.

Let's fully focus the EPL please [emoji120]

Minnow comp to be fair.

 

[jod23]

I did think the goal was offside but moving away from that PSG were far better than us over the two legs and deserved to go through.

We need to just pick ourselves up and dust ourselves down and get back to business. Still a great chance to win the League Cup and the Premier League which will be a fantastic season.

The only bummer is that Mo just lost the Ballon D'Or. Haha

 

[jod23]

Also that tie is a brilliant advertisement of what the squad needs.

I'm still not sure on Nunez, Diaz and Gakpo. Jota has looked a shell of himself since coming back and it might be time to move on from him and I think Mo might be off as well.

An entire new attack. Obviously we cant do that in one window and have to wait on what Mo does. But I think at the very least we need to upgrade in attacking areas, we rely on Mo too much and he might not even be here next season.

We also ended the game with Endo at CB. I know Gomez is injured but we definitely need another CB.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Worst possible result. Playing 30 extra minutes four days before the Carabro Cup then getting knocked out.Now bloody Madrid will win it again.

 

[Fwoy]

One (and only) bright side…I cancelled Stan Sport straight after the game…3 days before being charged another $15

 

[Fwoy]

It's the owner's fault.

Steven Gerrard? Is that you?

 

[Tonga Bob]

Were there any injuries?

 

[Sozabarus]

This tie was a good reminder that actually this team is a work in progress and are in a transitional phase. We still have a way to go.

And yet despite that, we have a cup final on the weekend and are 15 clear in the league heading in to the home stretch. It’s been an amazing season and the best is still yet to (hopefully) come.

 

[jod23]

Were there any injuries?

Reckon TAA might be out a while with that ankle sprain.

Konate hobbled off but looked like cramp.

Might be seeing Quansah at RB for the League Cup final.
