That’s a pretty resonable player for player SF 11…

Not talking best team here, just player for player.

Haha.

That is hilarious. You really overrate some of these.

No Inaki Williams, no Bruno Fernandes, Ugarte is better than anything we have in midfield. Strong poss I would take all 4 of Bilbao defenders ahead of ours. Even Onana’s stats are lot better than Vicario.
We may just about have the best all round team, as there are some serious weaknesses in other teams, but we really don't have players at the top end. We have a lot of 6.5 out of 10 players. Others have a few 7, 7.5 but also some 5.5/6 players which we may be able to exploit.

No way Romero deserves to be in there, no way Fernandes doesn't get in, Bergvall being in there is absolutely pushing it, our Fbs bar Spence have been meh as well.

Also Ugarte despite his slow start is a cracking player tbh.

Ange Postecoglou set to leave Tottenham at the end of the season

MIKE KEEGAN: The Australian has overseen a deeply disappointing season in the Premier League with their loss against Nottingham Forest - the 18th of the season - leaving them in lowly 16th.

I think it's a dead cert that he's off in the summer regardless of what happens. I hope there's enough hate for the fans and the media for him to do everything possible to win that Europa as a told you so. His negative tactics (for him) in Germany leads me to believe he will.
Which is great, I really want that trophy. couldnt careless who wins it, Ange can cup his ear, and Romero can score the winner with a Madrid shirt underneath. dont care, i just want it

Munn leaving as well if that article has any truth in it.

Good, as I believe Ange was Munn’s recommendation and that’s reason enough to get the bullet!
 
A Spurs/United combined 11 would probably look like:

-------------------Vicario------------
Mazraoui---Yoro----VDV---Spence/Udogie
------------Ugarte-- Mainoo------------
--------------Fernandes---------------
-----Kulu-----------------------Amad---
--------------Solanke------------

Udogie was amazing in both QF games. If we make the Final he’s 100% going in the team of the tournament.

Ugarte could go into the MF. Bergvall is definitely in there based on his form for over a month now but especially in the QF.

Spence on ability for sure but he’s only been in the EL squad since the R16.

Inaki Williams at RW?

I can agree with that.
Ugarte can go in as well.

No chance all 4 Bilbao defenders go in. They are a good team but individually that back 4 isn’t great.

Sancet is having a better season than Fernandes. It’s objectively true mate. Just have a look at his numbers and the quality of goals he’s scoring.

Don’t forget they are managed by Kjetil Knutson one of the most underrated managers in Europe.

At this stage, it's fcuking clear.

If we win the Europs it's not because of Postecoglou and anything that looks like an approach or an embedded philosophy. If anyone says it I will shoot it down.

And that's absolutely the same for United and Amorim.

The team that plays the best in the remaining 3 games, and who maybe finds a talisman within that, wins the Europa.

And none would have got into the last of the 16 of the CL, based on this season's displays.

Bilbao have conceded 26, the least goals in La Liga, less than Simeone's famed defence, less than Barcelona, less than Real, Spurs have conceded 51. They have conceded 7 in Europa to our 12, and yet you are still contesting that all our 4 defenders are better than their 4.
It's OK, you can be humble and just hold your hands up and say "Sorry I was wrong", don't double down, maybe accept you haven't seen much of Bilbao, if any, and have overrated our players, and underrated Man Utd and especially Bilbao's. There are better and more important hills to die on than this one.

They are a better team no question. I’ve said that since the start of the tournament. The spirit they defend with is incredible.

Which one of their defenders is a better individual player?
None of them. Sorry but that’s just a fact.
