Mickey won that for us I have not seen a better piece of skill.
I expect if it had gone in we would have folded.
We were extremely lucky but Postenoclue wasn't unlucky in the league.

Poch just played an unfit Kane in the CL final and put the red hot in form hatrick scorer in the semi on the bench:
I call that crap coaching and it lost us the final
I agree that was a poor decision, but most managers would have played a striker of Kane’s ability.
What lost us the final though, was the ridiculous handball decision inside the first minute!
The pen was huge; but we also collectively just didn't arrive geared up to win.... Poch & Eriksen being but 2 that didn't 100% have their head in the game.
....It also didn't help facing a scorned Liverpool who were shit-housed by RM in the final the year before; their mentality was worlds apart from our "we'd already won by getting their" mindset.
Losing Gaza in the 91 final early on was as big a shock but we overcame that setback but in the CL final we never turned up or put up a fight. Winners overcome setbacks, that team were not winners.
Poch was moody AF and his pressers about leaving before the final if they won did not help at all.
You could well be right and my memory maybe incorrect, but I recall Allison kept Liverpool in the game with several good saves so it wasn’t entirely one sided.
I agree and I didn’t understand that at all, but it won’t change my opinion that Poch is a far better coach than Ange.
we'll throw the CL next season as CL is way too hard
we'll concentrate on the EPL again
Ange didn’t start a half fit Son who was his captain
His decision to start Richy was pivotal
Poch submitted to media narratives and coached the winner out of Dele
Kudos to Ange for that decision.
He’s still not a better coach than Poch in my mind & no doubt a lot of other Spurs fans would say the same.
Are you saying Poch is responsible for Dele’s downfall?!
Preposterous if that’s a case as the lad is obviously dealing with inner demons.
More successful
Better is subjective and impossible to judge from the outside
I defo feel Poch helped to sanitise his play which in hindsight might have been his edge, but so many demons to work through, someone is to blame, but that’s not Poch or Dele. I hope he will always be welcome at the club, and can make help with youth development, learning from his mistakes, but coaching with empathy.
Completely different conversation.
I’m talking about the bite and malice that Dele played with that meant he always scored against cunts like Chelsea etc
Poch caved and said he needed to change the way he played.
With Romero, Ange always defended the aggression he plays with and when we needed it in a final, Romero was at his snarling, shithousing best.
You’re really reaching trying to demonstrate Ange is a better coach than Poch!
But its a very different challenge to win trophies, with a small weak squad but a very good starting 11 whilst getting top 4 and challenging in the champions league... to throwing away a league to finish 17th whilst winning a new weaker Europa league...
