Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Real Madrid

Sissoko will be doing an impression of Crouch tonight.
Kane has had his head turned.
Llorente is too old to play dominoes let alone CL football.
Dier is no Wanyama.
Toby and Jan will be run ragged.
Aurier is going to show why he should be playing in the french 2nd division.
Sanchez will be as gutted at the result as the Gonner Sanchez was after the Chile games last week.
Winks will look like Hulls next signing.
Eriksen will hit @"Thanks for that Brian" with every free kick and corner.
Hugo will have back ache after the final whistle.
Nuff said.

 

No Davies, Dembele, Lamela, Wanyama and an overweight snake on the bench. I don't mind the result tonight, as long as they give 100% and don't get all overawed by the occasion.

 

I’m the same, I just want us to give them a tough game and put on a decent performance.

 

Thank God he got seats in the back of the Madrid goal.

 

Audere Est Facere

COYS

 

I think that Pochettino's trying too hard in a big game, again.
He seems to feel the need to do something different in order to confuse our opponent.
It tends to have that effect upon our own players though, unfortunately.

Happy to be proved wrong, but trying out new players, roles and formations in a game like this is silly, in my opinion.
Son at wingback against Chelsea in the semi-final was a disaster.
Let's hope that whatever this system is has a much better result.

Coooooooommmmmmeeeeeee
Ooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnn
Yooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuu
Spuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrssssssss

 

The spurs fans are in full force. Great to hear.

 

Can already hear the travelling faithful.

 

"Remember, 1 minute of silence," says the ref. ?

 

Still 0-0

 

Seemed to be well observed, but that music was unnecessary and that didn't seem like a minute, either.

 

88 mins to hold on

 

3-5-2. Jan's playing LWB. Which reminds me:

Vertonghen > Bale

 

Urgh Liverpool are winning already!

 

Two Llorentes

 

Eriksen is picking up the pockets of space that 2 up top tends to create.

Half chance for Llorente.

 

The fans sound incredible.

Squeaky bum time. Wake up lads!!!

 

Llorente did well to get round the back there, but he took too long. Still not 100%, I think.
