Dele won't be playing - but I look forward to it at Wembley!
Shame. It could have been a great angle to sting them. I'm re-agitated at that dumb foul now.
Reasonable except sissoko has to come in for winks in midfield . This is about winning the midfield battle too, not getting into a goal scoring russian roulette battle with madrid which we will get destroyed in.
Shame, Id have liked to have seen him getting put in his place by our CBs
Isn't Dele still suspended?
Zidane is tactically stupid, He has no plan B. Madrid basically depend heavily on their attacking players. Modric & Kroos are too lightweight in midfield, but against someone like Winks they will have a field day. It is such a pain in the ass we have dembele & wanyama out, makes our job slightly harder. What I fear will happen is that we will be sliced open centrally , eriksen and son NEED to track back. and give a hand when we lose posession.
Madrid Fan here, been watching the EPL more and more over the past few years. Really love Pochettino work for Tottenham. Hoping we can have an attractive game on tuesday!
I'm 95% sure this will be our starting lineup.
I think odds are that high because we haven't lost a Group Stage game in over 5 years (October 2012). Currently an all time record of 29 unbeaten games (22 Wins, 7 Draws).
But at the end of the day this is football, any team can lose in any given day.
Good Luck and see you on tuesday!

With all your police in Catalonia, it will be easy for us to "Koln" you.
I think there is maybe 400,000 Spurs traveling to Spain for this. Lock up your daughters.
And Ronaldo the sexy lil fucker
Winks is a lot better at keeping hold of the ball, using it and recycling it. Sissoko is better at getting us the pitch we needed.
All down to personal preference, but I think we’d benefit more from Winks starting.
Haven't been keeping track what's English clubs records against Real in Madrid?

Samuel56, do you live in Madrid or Spain? Have you seen or heard anything about increased security on Tuesday, extra checks on tickets, that sort of thing? I haven't but there were stricter controls than normal on buying tickets from Madrid's website. I wondered if it was a reaction to what happened at the Arsen*l ground vs Cologne the other week...
That’s what I’d go with, assuming we are without Dembele, Wanyama, Davies & Rose.
Have the Scum really only played Real twice in their entire history?
