PSG ne sera pas sur cette chose - It's the Champions League 2017-2018 thread

Starting to shrink here

Sissoko stinking even off the ball he is throwing everything off

what a night!

What even is this

omg

Beautiful counter attack

madrid jut lost to girona at the weekend, now this.

zizou out

Always had faith Spurs could match Girona

this is pure pleasure

Aguero 2-3

Davies needs off he's limping around and d rose could kill them rn

Imagine we hadn't sissoko

He is killing us. Trippier has to do two jobs off the ball for this coward.

Very poor in that last twenty minutes poch out

yeah that's definitely the best result in my life as a spurs fan

A few of the 'must wins' against Chelsea and city the past few years would be up there but as a game that both teams could go for without a huge amount riding on it that was great

Congrats guys.

City are crazy good rn, too.

Shame youse didn't break one of Cron's legs though.

Dembele given another few mins maybe....

He was reckless but I can't help loving that guy

I prefer when he surfs over other professionals rather than diving into them tbh

I'm on the way back from the game with a definitive and literal answer to my often asked rhetorical question about whether Spurs fans would still whinge when 3-0 up against Real Madrid. Mostly aimed at Sissoko admittedly.

Goes without saying that's the best football watching experience of my life.

Haha yes look it was amazing

My first three will be called Harry, Harry and Pochin

I was talking about the people in the stadium - I'd be disappointed in anything else from you!

Trippier turned into Roberto Carlos in that first half. Annoyed I missed Dele nutmegging Sergio Ramos though. Really took the shine off the night.

If dele died now his first and last touches in a spurs shirt would be Madrid megs iirc

If poch can drill consistency into Trippier then I genuinely believe Walker won't last as England RB

And that would be fucking sweet.

Still feel like Dier hasn't gotten back to his general level of performance of two years ago but he is an absolute daddy in this group, the like we haven't seen since Sandro in our last CL run

And Rose, Dembele and Wanyama to come back into this first XI, probably.

Really enjoyed Spurs tonight.

I'd sort of classified Kane as a productive Big with Good Feet but there's so much more to his game and he is a genuine pleasure to watch.

Alli, on the other hand, I cannot fucking abide. Every game sees him falling/diving and throwing a Cronesque tantrum about not getting whatever fucking decisions he imagines he's owed. He's so strange to watch as he seems to genuinely believe his own lies.

You know how as a fan you shout for all kinds of crap when your own man goes down just because, well, it's your team and you're a wee tiny part of the Twelfth Man? It would stick in my craw if I was a Spurs fan and had to keep yelling for penalties for him.

Anyway, congrats to the ILF Spurs contingent - looking dangerously like a Big Club!

Broadly otm on both imo

Kane for England is the former, maybe.

Dele is 70% annoying.

Oh Dele is one World Cup away from being one of the most hated players in the league, definitely.

Kane was some way below his best last night, which I'd attribute to the injury. He ran right through the Real defence on several occasions but fluffed it. One thing you really get from the top tier of Wembley is a sense of formation and shape and individual player movement and Kane's is excellent. It's just nebulous "knowing how to play football" and it means that his general lack of pace and power doesn't matter as much. He's definitely not a Big.

FWIW I was doing some supremely nerdy Opta stat shit for our Fantasy League the other week and Alli *is* actually the most fouled player in the league at the moment. He also gets an absolute shitload in on other people as well.

The boy gets into the mix

Kanes power is underrated. That guy gives centre halves a battering and it's almost always the first part of a combo of pass/feint as opposed to carrollingian "it's the total of my job to collide with u"

Trippier tho.

Winks tho.

Vertonghen, Davies

Sanchez, srsly!

^^^the start of deems' finest poem yet

As irl, it's a struggle to fit sissoko in

gonna be a bit of a come down when they get turned over by palace at the weekend

Don't worry I'm still very much of the view that it's been a bad week for poch and he should be feeling the pressure

might have to start a new board if they win a trophy

Trophies didn't save houllier mannn

The fuck are the wing backs at dictating offside line wake the fuck up lads

When did son becomes this teams vital player

This is an insanely attacking XI. Guess we're going all out to win the group.

Spurs will win the group if they beat APOEL irrespective of what happens here iirc so they might as well have fun tonight.

Monaco and Sevilla both getting thumped.

Super Dortmund goal

We were just getting a bit of rhythm too

Enjoying this but attacking players seem to have no touch of late.

When did we get so bad at set plays

Also remember when Vertonghen was good a fortnight ago? Yeah not so much now.
