Champions League Round of 16 (13th Feb - 14th Mar)

Have to admire Spurs and Pochettino tonight. Have given nothing away and completely denied Dybala any of the ball while at the same time still posing a threat themselves. Really shows that you don't have to sacrifice one for the other. Should they get through tonight they will cause a threat to anyone.

Edit: Juventus haven't underperformed they've simply been outplayed over 2 legs so far. On this showing Spurs are simply the better side with the better coach.
 
I reckon we have one player that would start in one of the front three for Spurs- or four if we extended it to that.

We only signed him a few weeks ago.

Can’t fathom how Mourinho is happy with our attacking options.
 
One thing watching this game right now is how far Spurs are ahead of Arsenal....I mean miles apart and never thought I'd see the day
 
I really like the way Spurs play. Great tempo and energy, like old style Utd and I appreciate how much of a team they are, don't need superstars in every position when you are this cohesive.
 
Spurs really are fun to watch. The contrast between this (and last night) and Monday are sooo depressing.

The energy !!
 
Juve really needs to open up play now if they are going to stand any chance of taking this. And if they do, the score could get ugly. Tottenham are all over them...

I bet Poch could get our attack to this level. The difference is in the coaching.
 
Emre Can would bolster that Juve midfield and he ain't even that good. It is funny how Juve seem to be buying midfielders every summer and yet require more midfielders the next.

We have a fantastic squad which is not utilised nearly enough to its full capacity.
 
Wow, Basel's Lacroix just hit Jesus approximately with 39 lashes in one encounter (most of it accidental though).
 
All credit to Spurs. They have been magnificent

What I would give for Poch to be our next manager after Mourinho!

More to do with how the teams are coached and set up. Intensity for example.

With what midfield? Can’t see Pogba and Matic running like crazy. He’d probably turn herrera into a worldie tho

I think we all agree we need some additions in midfield, but let's not forget how good Matic, Pogba and Herrera can all be. The problem is - like with the team as a whole - we have no consistency in our football which comes down to the coaching.

This.

I realise I much prefer watching them than us despite my biases.

That’s shocking.

Its easier to enjoy football when you haven't any emotional investment.
I'm sure being 7 points behind us for the majority of the season really excites their fans
 
Great half from Spurs that. Fully deserved lead.

Game is still on a knife edge though. Juve score one and it becomes very nervy for Spurs.

Should be a good second half.
 
Not overly impressed with Juve. Thought they'd be a bit more exciting.

Is Dybala playing?
