This is why you need a kind draw. Ultimately people care about results. Milan was a shit draw and we have to do it the hard way.

Spurs-Villareal
Arsenal-Roma
Man. United/Ac Milan-Granada
Prague/Rangers- Ajax
That would be a really good set of QF ties. All nicely balanced. Granada are my underdogs, very good defensive record in Spain and europa and have pace on the counter attack.
I think Prague will beat Rangers next week and they're a pretty wily side but if Rangers do get through that is some achievement. Their squad would be a play off Championship side if in England.
You must be mixing Granada up with someone else? They have conceded the most in the La Liga.
Ah. I saw them more last season. 13 clean sheets and conceded 45 goals so 8th best defence. Never seen a keeper waste so much time on goal kicks as Rui Silva does either when they're winning!
Was probably thinking more of europa in how they've done defensively. Conceded just 3 goals in the group stage and just once over two legs v Napoli. Clean sheet tonight aswell.
That's on Leno, terrible pass. There's not much ceballos can do in that situationCeballos again!!
Tbf conceding once against Napoli isn't an achievement, they're the most finishing-impaired team in the world
On paper we are the best team left in the competition and we should win this but I'm not so sure now if we can even get past AC Milan with that late goal we conceded. This has Jose's Tottenham written all over it to win this trophy.
The same who just about scraped by some shite teams last time? He got very lucky and we played a young inexperienced Ajax.
It's been our away form that has been our only constant this season and thankfully we only need to score one goal to stay in the tie.
Sorry I don't get what you mean.
Well I'm banking on our amazing away record but Milan is still a big team and our record against the big team has been diabolical this season. I want us to at least get past Milan and see where we go next.
Haven't seen them enough in the league to judge but still scored more than Milan, Juve and Roma. 16 more goals than Lazio aswell.
I hope rashford is back for the away tie in Milan. We looked rudderless without him, and while playing on the break, he can be devastating.
We're looking pretty light upfront lately.

The poster is belittling Mourinho.
Was tongue-in-cheek but it's true that Napoli's finishing is erratic. Have you seen the Napoli-Granada game? xG actually gives a pretty good idea. 1.9 xG for Napoli....2.8 over the tie, which is about right more or less. Could have easily scored 3 or 4. Granada's gk was good
I'm really hoping for a United - Ajax rematch in the final. Seems possible.
Yeah they probably waste some stuff but it's not like they have Higuain or Cavani level striker anymore up there and Mertens given his age wasn't going to keep repeating that mad scoring run he had two seasons back.
They've mirrored Spurs in last few years in how they were good but slowly dipped and now possibly regretting not moving on key players a little bit sooner so like of Milan clubs have overtaken them again.
Mourinho really loves running his star players into the ground. Kane will be the next to pick up an injury.
Granada defender showing Maguire how to score those tap-ins from close range. In the wrong net though...
Oh, almost Dinamo. Should have scored.
Olympiacos pull one back. They've deserved it too.
Can they pull two more?
Nice goal. Very nice goal.
Dinamoooo 1 ohoho
Cracking goal.
I'm gonna say no
Spurs are absolutely pathetic, losing to a team whose manager is in fecking jail
Mourinho truly is the death of football.

God I hope Dinamo score again to hear Jenas cry

They're still going through with that score line though.
Roma 2
There's still time left, and lads, it's Tottenham.
Everytime you think one of our players cost too much, just remind yourself of Nicolas Pepe
Aubameyang
