1-0 and we eff'd it up in time added on after time added on.

Cruel. You could easily have been a couple clear. Naivety at the end

I hope you don't go to their place and look to defend. Do that and you'll lose. Tonight has shown you can expose Barcelona, definitely down the wings.

Poor not seeing the game out.

Good game though enjoyed it.

A bit of quality upfront you would have walked it.

He will be gone tomorrow

Strange to sack Franks , even more strange to bring Tudor in

Both shocking appointments. Spurs used to be ambitious, these days they're going for mid table managers.

Tough to get more when you look at how they have been over the last 5 years

But one thing is for sure -Levy wouldn’t have brought in Tudor

Yep...if we dont get carried away, look to expose them with pace, make sure we stay in the game. I dont know if Barca simply played at half pace tonight...I'm sure they can be much better...but they really only looked a fraction of the City side that picked us apart on Saturday night...perhaps that was a function of them knowing that they had a game at home to come...but I thought they might have offered more tonight.

As you say...go in with the wrong approach and the game will easily slip away...once you go behind against such teams its difficult to get back in the game.

Barcelona are quite badly managed IMO. They play with a high line that would make Big Ange blush

Can't see Newcastle getting through now after blowing it tonight.

Levy would have sacked frank in mid November

Watching Barcelona tonight (and against Chelsea earlier this season), realistically I don’t think they would finish in the top half of the premier league.

Interesting question… How many teams across Europe would actually survive in the premier league? I honestly don’t think that many would… there seems to be an enormous gulf in quality, physicality, playing styles etc.
