I don’t like Spurs, but God how I loath Juventus.
Champions League Round of 16 (13th Feb - 14th Mar)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
But they "played well".....so how so?
Surely it's purely on Juventus being more clinical, and a bit more lucky on the day.
I know. I was saying you were right.
I'd rather Juve than Spurs for the next round anyway.
Tottenham bottlers
Us vs Arsenal?
Probably. I have always liked them tbh but I'd rather face Juve than Spurs. Not that I underestimate Juve, it's just proper CL night and Spurs are just, well, Spurs.
The best team at what? At the attacking spirit of football? Maybe…
Good game and Spurs totally Spursed it.
Allegri's second-half switches were outstanding. All credit to him. Pochettino, a supposed great tactician, had no answer to it.
Spurs officially departed tonight.
Oh Spurs 
What is this song that started playing the second the ref blew his whistle for FT?
Good showing by Spurs but their backline showed inexperience over the course of the tie. Repeatedly shat themselves with all the needless fouls in the box and constant switching off. Their attack is great but the game is played on two ends
So, will the Kane looking for a trophy winning club transfer rumours start again?

Going to be a quick nonsense one-liner from him and then he'll disappear for a week.
Tough luck Spurs. Well played in both legs except for certain brainfeck moments
Unlucky Spuds. They were the better team.
That was a monstrous performance. The balls on this Juve team...
One of the best CL comebacks I've ever seen and full credit to Allegri

He had been good this season prior to his injury but since then he's been average and is deservedly fourth choice at City.
Daddy daddy daddy, lost lost lost.
Dybalical
Nah, they will get smashed against better teams as they have serious deficits in speed. Tonight was a proper smash and grab.
Told you all that Spurs gonna Spurs
What were you thinking, it's Spurs after all.

Hope this knocks their domestic form a bit
Bottleham Hotspur.
This is a big warning for us for next week.
Spurs were naive. Should have sat back like what Simone or Conte or Mourinho do, once you have a goal. Same stuff as in the Europa last year. If you are doing the pressing game, you have to go at 90% for the whole match and even then it is not a certainty.
Reminds me of Barca against PSG last season. Experience only got them so far but eventually it fell apart.
Got to give it to Juve, that was a classic smash and grab. 3 shots on target, 2 goals. Once they had the lead they could settle into the game they excel at i.e. camped in their own half and defending. Spurs didn't look like scoring after that happened.
feck off Spurs. Hopefully this hurts them badly and they feel it in the PL.
How did they feck this up? I would almost say Spurs deserved to win this but it's spurs so....
Won't be long till Kane realises his career won't be going anywhere at Spurs and moves to Real Madrid. After that they can't hold on to their players and that my friends will be the end of Spurs as a top 3 club

So much for the EPL hype train in CL this year.
Unlucky? Outclassed! The Italians knew what they were doing, almost like a clock. They did two substitutions and score twice in the next five minutes! Luck!
They were completely on top in the first half, juve did not have a single shot until half time. I feel like Poch failed to adapt to the subtle changes from juve and at the end of the day, experience won.
Peoplr don't understand that there's more to football than playing well. It's a naïf way to see things for me. But yeah, what can you do.
Spurs' big weakness are their full backs and it shows. Bad mistakes by Aurier and Davies for the 2 goals in the last match, and in this match Davies and Trippier offered nothing from full back. There's a darth of top quality full backs atm and Spurs sold one of those to City in the summer (imo the £50m wasn't even that expensive for what Walker offers since there's not many on a similar level to him).
