Just think, a team that got to the final four years ago, has a team that now looks like this fucking shocking.Wow. Maybe that's the best we can offer.
But let's face it, that's a desperately week looking line up for a Champions League tie.
Paper thin and hideously under invested.
Let's hope the boys can play above themselves and revoke the spirit of Amsterdam!

See always the same narrative from some and waiting for any and every oppportunity.
Not under invested or poorly invested? Not a bit unlucky with injuries to 2 or 3 key players or any failure to make the most of the available pool of talent?
Take-out Casimero from United and De Gea, have an off-form Rashford and United are suddenly under invested. Take Ederson and Allisson out and. See a poorly performing front 3 at Liverpool etc. See the incoherence of 15 new players bought at incredible cost but no complaints as some would jizz at the thought of more players being acquired at great cost.
Nobody right-minded would have broken up Kane, Son and Kulusevski. We didn't and bought the Brazilian numbrr 9. Who would have foreseen what followed? We bought a midfielder some thought would be different gravy
Defensively we should be 100% better equipped in central defence in particular but tonight Romero suspended.
But it's always the same fcuking narrative. Spend spend spend. Just boring and actually untrue.
Like dealing with misinfornation it's impossible to decode what the writer is actually seeking.
Tonight we most likely lose (in my opinion) because we are not seeing the squad utilised in the right way or energised to perform. I hope I'm wrong but doubt it. We scare nobody other than ourselves.
But it's not solely a matter of investment.

I guess you are right. Just spend spend spend is pointless. But if you spend spend spend wisely, you win things. We spent 60m on richarlison when our attack was doing great last year while we play 3 CBs and only 1 was good. Instead we go a loan for Lenglet. We do have some idiots in charge.
For the most part I agree with this. My issue with investment has always been a matter of who and when. Both of these factors have been an issue with the hierarchy for years. But no, not £ spent solely.
The other huge factor is tactics, style and motivation. All sadly lacking this season.
Being as how unpredictable we are.....just when I think it's unlikely we will go through.....
Yeah i can imagine it too....
But then we have the same narrative defending the mess that we are in, the whole forum like the club is going around in circles.
As for a midfielder at great cost, I thought Bisouma was a great addition and said at the time, unfortunately we are set up that doesn't or isn't getting the best out of him, be I think he is a cracking player.
Richarlsion again, is another one, who for whatever reason cannot get going, but for his national team is their number one striker.
As for utd, they have had one bad result since winning a trophy, something that we have avoided for years.
After we won the league cup in 08 our form was shit too, so not sure why them and Liverpool are referred to.
Some of our problems, is and has been under investment, or going with the cheaper option, and some of it is bad scouting or players not being utilised to their strengths.
But what isn't up for questioning, is the shocking mess that we are in, and the potentially poor line up that awaits us tonight.

Any chance this is cancelled due to "dangerous conditions for supporters" or some other bollocks?
I assume North London has the snow this morning that we have here down in deep South?

Leao apparently didn't want to come to the PL cos of the cold weather. Reckon we've got the upper hand now. Get a snow blower in the stands.
Could be a fucking long one for us!
Just read that South East Rail can't guarantee services out of London after 5pm due to snow!
Deal is a long way to walk.
Maybe - maybe the thing wrong with me is actually Spurs though.
If its that bad, stop whining and get off the pot.
Nobody is forcing you or anyone else to go to games or watch on TV or give any kind of a shit. If you and others posting similar find it so indescribably awful, do something else.
50:50 it gets called off if if there’s a chance of a single snowflake landing in north London tonight.
Looking forward to the game and I believe Tottenham Hotspur will be in the top eight teams in Europe afterwards!

Sarr and Skip should start every game until the end of the season.
We need to move on from players like Hojbjerg who won't have a future under a manager that prefers front foot possession based style of football.
If Bissouma is back in time then it should be Sarr and Bissouma as both are better footballers than Skipp and Hojbjerg.
