The injuries is just another annoying factor to the whole thing. But we cant blame this on injuries, that would be hypocritical to say the least.
We had plenty of chances to win this game: Berna could have scored, Mandzukic should have scored, and Higuain missed a penalty. We had our chances and blew it. Not deadly enough when it mattered.
Tottenham would off course dominate the midfield battle, not much else to expect, when a semi-retired Khedira is chasing them and pjanic has an off day. Predictable.
