I had a dream last night Sissoko will be starting in RB spot to man mark Costa.
For this reason, I expect defeat.
We could always discuss the away goals rule...This thread went places
I have to say I somewhat dislike Pochettino's Champion's League obsession.
Of course it is important but the name of the competition is a phoney and it just distorts aspiration.
Important yes but not as significant or telling as winning your domestic league or giving your all in domestic cups when trophies make you a winner regardless of the tournament.
Beware the fall Mr P and rein in the one competition importance, which even getting into the top 4 is centred on.
You know the rules pictures pleaseMy daughter in law is Sicilian
Does that count?
NANANANANANANA WE'RE SHIT
One word...Davies.
One other word...spellcheck.
Guido I do not want to be right we have different opinions. I have nothing but respect for the Spurs and the way they played. You have an incredible team and for large parts of both legs you dominated the game, I disagree with regards to the last 20 minutes after Juve's goals, but that does not change the overall picture. BUT if a team dominates a game for over 100 minutes out of 180 and still concedes 4 goals that could have easily been many more, it cannot be down to luck. I believe Alderweid absence has been a factor but the second goal by Dybala is absolutely absurd in that situation. Higuain found an incredible pass but the fact tact he could do that and find Dybala behind the line at 40 mt from goal IMO is simply not right, it should not have happened and it was a tactical mistake that was obviously compounded by the not exceptional individual quality of your CBs.
On the bright side I think you have in your hands a very easily improvable team, which could become a dominant force in EPL and Europe provided you hold on your best players that are so young can only improve over the next couple of years.
With a couple more strong CBs and more experience, ditching Verthongen that is out of his depth at this level, I think the team is incredible. At least that is my opinion
Jump to 3:00 for his take on Spurs following Juve defeat if you don't want to listen to the whole vid. I like that he is challenging the narrative around Juve and Spurs and I agree with it, as I've been banging on about it with our Juve friend in previous posts. Given his closeness to Poch re his book, I also like that he consistently talks about Levy, Poch and keeping players, everything he says is about the project being built rather than the one being broken up and sold off. I know that he is closer to Poch and his coaching staff than any Journalist there is, so unlike another I take what he has to say over and above any journalist (regarding Spurs).
OK, probably the last one from my side.Sorry but you Juve guys on here (don't know why you are on a Spurs forum?) can't justify your upper hierachy being in the tunnel - it's simply inappropriate and given your clubs shady history should be avoided.
Poch is perfeclty within his rights to mention that it isn't professional and Poch wouldn't want Levy acting in that way.
Oh yes, he'll be starting at Wembley.Oh really? I just know Tottenham once was about to sign him
We have two away goals.
So they need to score at minimum twice to win
I'm gonna live with this blunder for a while aren't I?
Yours is not to wonder why. Just shift with the ebb and flow.Eh? Yesterday you were prophesying doom and gloom.
What's changed?
I remember listening to that game on the radio. Glory days!
It’s good to recall stuff like that. Reminds me and many others just how great we have things right now. An incredible new stadium on its way, a classy manager, the best striker on the planet (a Spurs fan too), and we’re on the eve of a CL game against Juve after topping a group that featured Madrid and Dortmund.
It’s mental.
As for the game itself, I feel calm now and really looking forward to it. I’m sure I won’t feel quite so calm once it kicks off.
