Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

was very annoyed when this fixture was announced for tuesday rather than wednesday but now it's the ultimate blessing that i can't watch the horror

zero point trying to set back be tight and defend with Forster, Dier, skipp, sarr and Perisic. Only realy chance is to overwelm them with our attacking players which are far far superior to theirs.


training cone
Davies
Samchez (sorry cant stand eric dier as player)
Romero
Emerson

Sarr
Skipp
Kulu

Kane (as a 10)
Richarlson
Danjuma

100%.

Go for it.

4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1
 
You were begging for porro for a month straight and already gave up on him after 60 minutes?
I actually questioned where he had played enough games for anyone to form an opinion of him and was slammed for it.
I wasn't begging for him at all. I was just (like everyone else) fed up with us taking a month to sign players we want over minor details. In the end, that month of pissing about cost us Doherty, so it wasn't worth it.
 
Given we don't have Bentancur or Bissouma - the "thank fuck" comment is about as stupid as it can be.
We're going into a CL game with Milan with a child and barely experienced 22 year old in the 2 most important places in the pitch.
So? Both have high potential so I’m good with a change in approach. If the alternative is PEH bottling another big game (without Benta), then put some faith in the yoots rather than waiting for the inevitable slow death. We will see Devine in the next few weeks too and I’m all for it.

Putting faith in an inconsistent, basic chugger from Soton and expecting a different outcome is more stupid IMO

Considering their forms...while Hojberg is more experienced and obviously better than the kids, he isnt that far ahead of Sarr or Skipp. At Cm we should be fine, i.e. struggle as much as we usually do. Its the GK, CBs, WB and Wingers that Im more worried about. Dier, Davies, Perisic, Forster being what they are and Son/Kulu is rubbish form...its not looking that great.
 
I didn't remember this at all until my Milan supporting mate told me about this tie yesterday. He said that Milan were in cruise control the first leg, and went to the shithole just for a formality, only to find themselves 3-0 down at HT and absolutely shitting it.

You're right though. The Milan we beat were a lot better than the one of the next season, although the one next season was on the verge of eliminating Pep's Barca with fucking Kevin Konstant (who?) at LB. Milan are like RM, their badge weighs a lot in Europe.

I only remember it because it was an excellent debut Champions League for us and to get to the quarter finals was an excellent achievement but all rivals fans said was that we didn't play anyone good and that the first good team we played, they knocked us out.

Which was laughable at the time and still is today.

think id go with this now. perisic might be a lot better in this sort of system too. one thing is for sure if we do get past milan then things start getting real serious from then on in the CL. kulu needs to get back in the zone asap, he cant be as poor as he was against leicester because we are well and truly fucked if he cant get into gear.
