Not bad. We started strongly, had a couple of good chances. The middle of the half was more 50/50, but then we ended it as we started and found the back of the net at last.

The space is there between the lines and in front of their defence, however as a word of caution there have been numerous moments where the same can be said of us... Davies/Vertonghen in particular have been lucky not to be punished for following their man and not stopping the next phase of play, and the screen in front of the defence hasn't always been the best. Just areas to tighten up a bit.

Lets get out there and get hold of the ball, control the game and get it done. COYS.

Well we can always say Higuains first goal was offside in Turin. Everyone gets some luck.

But that ref is pretty useless

...once again they can't handle our press and physicality...and our vision and one-touch passing in the final 3rd...

Casual fans will start googling Dembele, Son, Kane and Eriksen and watch their youtube videos tonight, they look like huge world class players out there and it's not surprising. Douglas Costa is dangerous in attack but he doesn't help enough with Son. 2-3 players on Kane at all times means lots of room for everyone else and we need to abuse it. Jan needs to be careful with his yellow card and we are good.
When moose is fit and in the mood, he's just unplayable.

Definition of beast.

Solid. In control.

Juve will take more risks so they'll play further into our hands if we continue to play with the same energy and intensity.

Or more likely it will turn into a fast frenetic back to the wall defend-a-thon. Hope not but this is Spurs.

By the way, our press is absolutely killing them, and they look unprepared for it, which is just bonkers on their and Allegri's part.

Can easily unravel quickly though so absolutely can't count our chickens just yet.

No rash challenges at the back (Jan in particular) and still continue the press but undoubtedly we are going to carve out further chances as they have to throw more caution to the wind.

If Dier is still groggy then Wanyama coming on will certainly help
