Monaco hadn't conceded a goal in the CL all year at home, they've only conceded 7 at home in 14 league games. I don't know much about them but they seem like the boring boring Arsenal of France.
2-0 out there was a good result on the night but also a frustrating one because if we can do that we can surely beat them at home and so should have progressed.
A tie is played over two legs, effectively it's like playing a match and being pummeled in the 1st half and then coming back in the 2nd half but ultimately still losing overall, the result last night is entirely irrelevant when you don't win the tie.

You could have predicted the result though, we've done this so many times now, when the pressure is off we win, but never quite by enough, it's always the same once we're close we just stop playing and often don't even have a shot at goal of note, at 2-0 we should have been throwing the kitchen sink at them, it's not like we couldn't afford to concede 1.

I'm sick of hearing excuses, a loss over two legs is a loss however you put it.
