Real Madrid vs Tottenham: CL Match Thread

[Hazardousman]

That lineup is making me nervous.

 

[Bulletspur]

Dont know about you guys, but haven't look forward to a spurs game as much as this in many a year

Not me with Wanyama Dembele Davies and Lamela out. Would have if we were fielding our strongest team

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Look at that bench. Our squad is looking pretty thin.

Sadly Davies, Wanyama, Dembele, Lamela and even Nkoudou is a very significant selection of players to be missing.

Shit I better get to the pub!

 

[Romulus]

big big night for Winksy

Just imagine how impressive it would be if we give them a game with a massively weakened team.

I'm sure none of the media shall be reporting us missing 5 starters however should we get raped

4312 with Kane dropping deeper. The lack of pace is worrying but Sissoko's skill, deftness of touch and long range finishing will settle the outcome

 

[worcestersauce]

Bale's out phew!

Not to mention whisky.

Not to mention whisky.

good point

I think they are going to go to town on our midfield.

 

[Riandor]

I admire Poch for going for trying something different given our missing players.
Alas I fear a 3-0 or similar, too much space in midfield for the creative players Real Madrid have, for my tastes at least.

Will be entertaining and I hope like vs Dortmund we are at least dangerous in front of goal so that the game is at least exciting.

I've had a really weird feeling today. I'm not nervous, I'm not scared, I'm just excited. Looking at the time every 15 minutes since about 10am.

This is what we've waited for for so long. I'm just going to enjoy it, and if we make mistakes and get smashed then fuck it. We'll learn and give them a better test in the home game.

It's win-win for us. We're playing the best team in the world in the best club competition in the world. Just embrace it!

 

[Bobbins]

Such a shame to have such a massive game and have half the squad missing through injury and suspension. Defence looks rock solid but that midfield is giving me hives.

I hope Llorente will be playing an occupying role on their CB's tonight to give Harry some freedom to find space. The problem might be getting him the ball.

 

[Riandor]

Bale's out phew!

Yeah, alas with Modric, we will likely see balls played past our midfield, rather than blitzed passed.
Gonna be a real stern test this.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Proper shitting it now. Really hope the boys in the middle can step up to the challenge. That is the one area I’m worried about. COYS!

 

[thePessimist]

Really?

Guys, this is embarassing

Goodnight

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

We're probably going to get hammered like a loose nail on creaky ship, but there's a liberation to that too. At the moment the game is a mere curiosity, if we get anything out of this it becomes a modern miracle

I don't think our defence looks rock solid at all. Sanchez very rash just for starters.

Llorentes scored a few goals against Real Madrid in the past. Him and Kane up front could cause them a few problems. I'm just a bit worried about what will be going on behind them, but to dare is to do.
