Totally gutted we didn't make it through but it's made easier by the fact that we put in such a good performance and didn't go out without a fight, many times this season if we looked out of something we would just accept it and just try and get the game over with. Was like watching a Champions League tie again, everyone from the players to the fans were fantastic. We just couldn't get that final bit of luck! We attacked them constantly and still remained composed at the back (mostly). Enrique showed that he is just as strong as Hulk, every time he went shoulder to shoulder with him he came out on top from what I can remember. 2 fantastic goals from Luis!
Assaidi injected a bit more life down the wing, looked good and created a few good chances.
Can't help but feel we would have gone through if we had Sturridge but nothing we could do about that!
Why is it though that both f**king Spurs and the Chavs managed to get a goal they needed in injury time?! It would go that way wouldn't it!
The only down side I think is bringing on Shelvey, he looked very reckless and could have easily of ended up with a 2nd yellow and made things even harder for us, he came close to scoring and should have buried it in all honesty.
Loved seeing BR's reaction to our 3rd goal, showed he really does want us to get back to where we were, just the sort of passion you want to see from the gaffer!
We may have gone out but this is another good performance on the back of a great showing against Swansea so hopefully we can use this to propel ourselves up the league.
Leaves me to ask one question though, why do we not go for it as much as that in every match?!
