Obviously was still buying your cup of tea or had the kettle on during the start of the Man Utd game ...
I just wanna see us take the game to Juventus tonight. They may be good defensively, but we’re good offensively. Harry Kane is arguably one of the best strikers in world football at the moment, so let’s see how they get on against him, as well as our supporting forward players. - if we manage to get into our free flowing stride, it’ll be anything but easy for them. People wrote us off when the group was drawn, and we pulled each of our oppositions pants down. If we can score tonight, it makes the whole tie extremely interesting, as I wouldn’t mind betting their plan for the two games is to A) Stop us from getting an away goal tonight at all costs and B) Score an away goal Wembley. Let’s get an early goal and see how they cope. COYS
Exactly right I wanna see us play our normal game and have a go at them.they have a good home record so what records are there to be broken and we are in the form to do it .
As opposed to others, I was sat in my seat nice and early. I thought it was a 19:45 KO. I was being sarcastic with a Man Utd supporter.
Lamela starts? Interesting. Looks like we've set up to sit tight and scrap with options on the bench to defend a result (Wanyama) or chase a goal late on (Son and Moura).
We should remember that Lamela has experience against Italian opposition. Moura and Son are great impact options from the bench to run at tired legs. COYS
Son and Lucas as actual impact subs for when we need them is a huge improvement on Sissoko as a sub for the sake of substituting someone
Interesting that apparently Pochettino picked Lamela because he has experience playing Juventus but Llorente, who played for them, doesn't make the squad. Good team though, gives us a bit more creativity which could come in handy for breaking down a very good defence.
Im slightly concerned about Lamela with the way he dives in, he cant do it tonight against the theatrics of the Italians. I know he played in Italy for a while but its still a worry.
