We were a bee's dick away from being 4-1 down at half time. We might have dominated possession but we created about 3 good chances in the whole match, 2 of which we scored from. Not sure that people have realised that Juve's game plan is to concede possession and hit on the counter. They definitely had the better chances and far more of them than we did. Even in the second half they had that bernadeschi shot that hugo saved, those crosses that jan and eric just got to in front of a juve player and a header from a corner that was straight at hugo. Apart from the kane miss I can't remember any other great chances that we had.

I can't remember the nature of all the shots, but we had more on and off target than they did. Also a number of situations that we didn't quite make the most of.

It will be a tough game - there are no easy games in this stage of the competition and they are CL runners up and Italian champions. I expect a very tight game with nervousness on both sides. I think we will nick this one but it wont be an easy game and we will need to be on top of it all the way through.

Lolpool and Citeh, disagree.

And I still have nightmares over Chiellini's constant play acting. Embarrassing.

It was ridiculous - hopefully we anticipate that a bit more in this leg.

Didn't have him pegged for that sort of player but i suppose as an italian defender, these dark arts are often part of their make up.

Bollocks to being scared of juve. We dominated them in Turin, we could and should have won that game. If we are on it from the get go we can muller them

3-1 spurs

This is key. I can't believe that any player wouldn't be up for a game like this, but we need to make a fast start to try and get control of the game. If we start with the slow tippy tappy at the back we will get crucified, we need to start with fast one touch football, that's when we are most effective.
