I know we can go through with 0-0 or 1-1 but I hope we go for the kill & attack them early on. I don't want to go through a nervy goalless home leg like AC Milan a few years ago.

Watched the game in the pub and even a couple of united boys was rooting for us at the end. What a fantastic performance. Juve are lucky to still be in the tie. Set up beautifully for a glory glory night in front of another 80 thousand+ home crowd now. Cant wait. Well done Poch and the boys. And for those knocking Aurier, if he hadn't made the foul they would have scored and possibly put the tie beyond us. COYMFS
Good point. but it me worries that even though he hasn't had a pre season with us, he has been with us for 6/7 mths and should have learnt by now. I thought he had but not on tonights showing
As amazing as that comeback was and as much confidence as we'll get from it, we still shouldn't get carried away and think that the tie is won. Juve are still very dangerous and they'll likely have their best player back for the 2nd leg. We need to be a lot better in defence at Wembley, cause we could have been dead and buried early in this game with our mistakes at the back.
That's obviously your fault mate. Everyone knows if you're giving instructions, the last word should be the one you want them to hear because that's what sticks. Next time, don't yell "don't lunge" yell "stay on your feet".
Considering the result, I'm willing to give you a pass this time, but let's do better.
(see what I did there?)

I know, but he was a goal-scoring midfielder who notched up striker like figures in the league and made it to the final. As was Lampard. And Rooney was a striker. All in a period when the English teams were dominant over the other European leagues in terms of quality.
BTW, how come we've had multiple sin binnings on such a wonderful night?
.no words.
Love him.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the narrative begins.
We'll win the whole bloody competition and there'll still be excuses.
Id say its 65/35 in our favour now. Another close game in the 2nd leg I reckon.
You might be right, but here's the important thing. Poch thinks he can do something with him or he wouldn't have brought him on. So I've gotta trust Poch and give the kid some time to improve.
Still buzzing. What a match. Total domination by Spurs. A couple of mental lapses on defense is the only reason for not getting the win. Juventus looked tired the last 70 minutes.
Last 5 minutes was agony.
Last 5 minutes was agony.

If it were AVB Kane wouldn't be playing.Poch has put so much girt into this team. If that was AVB we would of lost by god knows how many.
They won’t score more than us at Wembley. (See post)
They were dead on their feet from after half an hour.
We will destroy them at Wembley.
I am in no doubt at all.
I disagree what Verts does is slide to block shots IN the box and slides to make a tackle outside it, agree its an art and Verts is a master. Aurier isn't. Some players are just naturally gifted at it, such as Graig Johnston when he was at lollerpoo.
They can say whatever they want I honestly don't give a shit as long as we go through. COYS!!!

You know that for certain
Poch bought Fazio and stambouli also
He can improve but he can't play like that again
(Edit. Sorry you said brought him on...... still he won't have pochs trust if that's how he responds to getting match time )
