My head says 'Pool have the better squad and the better XI if everybody is fit ... but sometimes it's about the right team ethos on the day ... Spurs have been amazing in that, without Harry Kane they have managed to get past both Citeh and Ajax despite being outplayed in both games (IMHO) and by virtue of away goals, ... sometimes your name is on the cup, and if they were to win on penalties (particularly if 'Pool were on top throughout) it would be quite an incredible story ... 3 games without actually winning to lift the CK trophy ... be a pub quiz classic for decades ... might be worth a crafty tenner.
You are aware that we beat both city (1 nil) in the 1st leg of the 1/4 final and Ajax (2-3) in the 2nd leg of the semi final aren't you? And we deservedly beat Dortmund in both matches in the last 16. So we have actually won games. In my opinion... We were out play by Ajax in the first half of both legs but were the better team in the 2nd half of both legs. We were deserved winners in the first leg at WHL v City. Penalty apart they rarely looked like scoring. We were lucky at their place with our third goal.
