Nice try, Boring.
That's really an awful decision re the penalty, seeing the replays it's awful.
This sounds like a Michael Owenism
Funny how when spurs play the biggest teams in Europe they all play terribly.
I'm a big fan of Spurs (just not Glaston
). You deserve all the plaudits you're getting. If you hold on you'll have beaten Madrid, Juve and Dortmund this campaign, which is no mean feat.Juve are not as bad as they're looking.
This is what being aggressive and pressing does to teams.
Dominated Juve physically.

Juventus is so slow. Khedira and Barzagli in particular cannot deal with Tottenham's intensity at all.
The Italian league is an embarrassment if this is the best they have to offer. Getting bossed by the 4th best team in England. For all the criticism the French league gets this is just as bad IMO. Buffon is finished and their defense is so slow. If I'm dybala I'd be looking to leave. How did they reach the final last year?

Juve are really bad. Their midfield is a shambles and their defense is too old. Cant cope with the movement and pressing from Spurs. Time for them to refresh the team and get a new/modern manager
I feel like Spurs play better football than us right now, they look so oriented and much more better on the ball than us.
Because he's useless as often. Apart from his excellent speed he is often very average in terms of passing accuracy and decision making.
He's the prototype City lover.Wow mate that must be the most brutal tagline around here
Serie A is a pub league these days when Juve are the best they can offer to be fair.
I loved Serie A as a youngster, wish the league would get back to its best

This only applies if a team has given up on league, which is not the case which means united has been the better team of the two till now, deal with it.
Someone mentioned played like them. Can't see how anyone can dispute that.
Nobody has said they wish we were as good.
Ahhhh I see a mature debate lol, I never said that. You beat the team in front of you, doesn’t matter how badly that team is perceived to have played.
Can they do that in the modern transfer market though? Their midfield looks slow and weak too.
I wish Mou was as brave as Poch in how he sets a team up.
That honestly wouldn't be hard. As a neutral I can't say I ever get excited watching United.
Monday night's 2nd half was a cracker, to be fair, but Mourinho's hand was forced being 2-0 down and all.
What are you talking about ? Are you implying United has not given up on the title?
Of course they do, everybody will tell you that. But better football doesn't mean better results. Anyway, not the thread for this discussion.

I'm not saying you haven't been impressive. You have. Especially in Torino after going down. But if I had a choice of which team I'd rather face if we progress into the quarters it would be very easy. Part of it is your pressing and aggression, but you can't deny they've been pretty awful tonight too. I'd fancy any of the top 6 against them if this is what they've got.
If they sell Dybala...
Ronaldo's first was nowhere near to being offside, his second may have been marginally offside but it was very tight. In that same game Bayern were awarded a penalty that wasn't (though they missed). Overall the decisions were fairly balanced, Real were the better. Chelsea-Barca in 2009 is a better example imo of really poor referring.

I concur I’m not saying we’re as big or better, but on the day we beat them and if we win tonight beat them all well.
There's no doubt about it.
You implied sarcastically that when you play the best teams in europe they all play terribly, which means by default you are always the better team when you play these best teams in europe. You didn't need to say it, you implied it tbh.
Delighted for Spurs. They deserve it. Didn't become good with oil money either
Why don’t Redcafe have a thread only for die hard Spurs supporters? Btw. Happy for Glaston. So many new friends.
I prefer trophies.
That's been a problem for many years with Italian teams in CL (apart from last year when Juve had the amazing defence). Play the game at their pace and tempo and they can control it. Play it at premier league pace and likes of Juve and Roma can't handle it.
Honest.y don’t think I did, I was meaning that when we beat these teams, it’s more because they were poor than we were good.
Shocking decision my the ref and the officials not giving that pen. Blatant as you like.
But spurs have been the better team. Not really sure what Juve are trying to do really. They're open but not particularly that attacking; can't remember them creating that many chances. Spurs closing down extremely well and pressing Juve's back line. Dybala has been shite. They need a change of system here.

What's so bad saying they have been brilliant which they have been tonight?
Part of Dybala's skillset is dropping deep, picking up the ball and beating a few men to get a shot in. He did that on Saturday. Higuain, yeah he needs chances created for him.
Costa and Pjanic are on the pitch so they should be capable of getting the ball through.
he had a good first season, after that his demands were bigger than his performances. Mercenary, and not very popular in the team, either. 40 Mio for him? any time.
Not mutually exclusive. Easy to admire what Poch produces given his massively inferior transfer and wage budget.
They just have as much of a chance to win a trophy this season.
I think that’s harsh, why cannot a appreciation for good football be made rather than a siege mentality of everyone else is shit?
Mate no offence but if my team were in a huge match v Juventus in the CL knockouts, the last thing I would be doing is spending my time on a Spurs forum arguing with the locals.
Go and enjoy your team playing ffs, they're playing well.
It's depressing.
