The problem is we can't really defend.I’m probably being very optimistic here but I think Mourinho will do a tactical masterclass on them.
I think it will be a similar tie to the one we had with juventus 2 years ago, where we dominated and looked the better side for the majority of the tie but lost over 2 legs, in our favour this time ?
They look very good going forward but leave spaces at the back. We are all wrong for them imo. We will defend deep and kill them on the counter
I'm expecting them to be just like Ajax last year. Young, attacking and a bit naive.

i'll take itWe'll just do the normal, play like crap, but defend stoutly, lulling them in to a false sense of security. This will lead to the RB team progressing up the field with a mixture of frustration and confidence, leaving massive spaces behind the back line, who should be near the half way line by this point. BOOM the clock stikes 65, we suddenly start to play, scoring clinically with our first, second, and forth shot on target. The match will end, xg will state we should have lost by 7 goals, and fans will be polarised, some saying master class, others saying Spurs have got the devils own luck. I'll be happy
You never go full on FRAAB!Can we temporarily get Redknapp back in and just go full on FRAAB?
In reality, it looked like they were playing 4-4-4-4 and had 16 players on the pitch. Never seen us so bad since Bayern !!

The thing is against Bayern we actually werent that bad. Created plenty of chances but they scored all theirs and we didnt score the chances we created - not luck but we werent awful and we showed ambition to create
Against RBL we were damn awful no two ways about it.
And that’s why I still have, faint though it may be, hopes of going through, if we can somehow, raise our game in the return leg.
Yes. And no matter if we're going to press high or base our play on counter attacks, we need to score goals. The key is to find the right line up. And in the two last games without Son, Mou has yet to pick the right players in the perfect formation with the perfect strategy. If he manages to do that now, it is a chance.And that’s why I still have, faint though it may be, hopes of going through, if we can somehow, raise our game in the return leg.
