We didn’t bottle it. They made a tactical switch which we were too slow to respond to. We fell asleep defensively for a couple if minutes and paid the price against a highly experienced side who’ve featured in 2 of the last 3 CL finals.

In the end, less than the width of a Post was the difference between defeat and extra time.

Surely that first paragraph defines 'bottling it', dress it up how you like pal, you threw away a great lead.

‘Bottling it’ is defined by not having the fight. We failed to respond quickly enough to a tactical,change, that’s hardly bottling it!..

Well bottling it where I come from is failing under pressure. The pressure of the big game gobbled up your team, before you had chance to figure out what was happening the game was gone.

Happens to us all at some point, and definitely happened to Spurs vs Juve.

Wrong!

We got outsmarted for once. They’re a highly experienced CL side.
 
Some proper bitch slapping early doors today....

Kane will be a big miss for Spurs, he’s been the deciding factor in numerous games this season. Can Llorente step up? Or will they simply change formation like yesterday? It’ll be a challenge for Poch.

And guess what? it's the spuds again! Won **** all and shout the most, they've become the new Liverpool...serial ****e.
 
To be fair that's the definition of bottling at juve. You were ahead at the half way stage. You boys look the better side. You boys became the favourites and were well ahead in the tie.

Then crunch time came and you capitulated in the most spursy of ways
