Tottenham Hotspur vs Juventus - Match Thread

[alex3]

Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Benatia, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Khedira, Pjanic, Matuidi; Douglas Costa, Dybala; Higuain

That's a really good team expecting a totally different juve tonight

 

[Shadydan]

That's their strongest team even if Higuain isn't 100% fit, they're going for it.

433 - midfield and front line are going to be tough. We could really use an early goal.

 

[haxman]

Christ, that Juve side looks really strong. Shit's getting real now!

 

[HildoSpur]

Bricking it.

 

[isaac94]

Buzzing for the game, line up is perfect, let Rose suffer on the bench, he apparently knows his worth

 

[thfc1973]

Was Serge suspended for this game?

 

[HailKingLevy]

Maybe Rose didnt shake the old mans hand because of Wayne Bridge.

 

[Bulletspur]

Surprised not to see Lamela leading the pressing game

It was because of Son's performance on Saturday. Personally I would prefer to play Lamela and Son and bench Dele. (My preference before you all get your collective panties in a twist)

Christ our team looks even stronger☺

Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Benatia, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Khedira, Pjanic, Matuidi; Douglas Costa, Dybala; Higuain

Hopefully we can exploit Barzagli with Sonny's pace.

Ideally it'd be 3 at the back with Sanchez covering Tripps...but it's not.

Risky af from Poch tbh.

Clearly thinks we can outscore them tonight.

Pray to the football gods we get away with it.

They are going to target the hell out of our FBs - Davies having already given a pen and Tripps there to run past at will.

If we go berserk and press and play our cocks off, with the crowd behind us, we might get away with it.

Fuck sake my ring is going ten-to-the-dozen.

 

[SpursD22]

Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Benatia, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Khedira, Pjanic, Matuidi; Douglas Costa, Dybala; Higuain

Their bench: Szczesny, Rugani, Lichtsteiner, Marchisio, Asamoah, Sturaro, Bentancur
They have no strong attacking player on the bench while we have Lucas and Lamela

 

[Blackrat1299]

Listen, if the bindippers can draw 0-0 at home with Porto then we can beat Juventus.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

The silver lining with that Juve line-up is that is as good as they are going to get - no game changers on the bench.

We have to weather the early storm.

 

[L-man]

Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Benatia, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Khedira, Pjanic, Matuidi; Douglas Costa, Dybala; Higuain

Not heard of a single one of these chumps.

Onwards to the quarter finals

Come on you spurs

Banter team.

 

[$hoguN]

Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Benatia, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Khedira, Pjanic, Matuidi; Douglas Costa, Dybala; Higuain

Much more dangerous than the away leg with Dybala and Matuidi back in there

Risky to play our best team?

Be riskier to change the gameplan that’s worked so well for us against United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Juventus in recent weeks. Wanyama’s form has been too mixed recently to start above Son or Lamela for this one.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Really does feel like the big time in here tonight! World media everywhere, colourful away support... Despite a shit load of them being in amongst the home fans.
