Morning all, we are wins against Ajax & Liverpool away from the most historic night in our 137 year history. Regardless of what happens, each of us would have taken that a week, month, year or decade ago. Believe in the boys but ultimately they need to believe in themselves. We gave them a lot of issues in the first game physically and will hopefully be able to field the likes of Vertonghen, Sissoko, Son & Lamela for potentially a whole 90 minutes this time around.
This is a big day for our club so just try and enjoy it for what it is, a semi final in the most prestigious club tournament in world football. If we are physical, passionate, hungry and take our chances, I think we will win & with players that can do damage in our team with the likes of Sonny, Lamela, Lucas, Eriksen & Dele, if our midfield win their battles which physically there's no reason why we shouldn't, I think our boys up top can and will hurt them in areas where we lacked punch last time.
A Tottenham Hotspur team with Sissoko, Lamela & Son back is a far more dangerous prospect than the one that had to lump long balls up to Llorente. These returns alter our style of play and I believe that this one is a belter in the making.
Lloris
Trippier
Alderweireld
Vertonghen
Rose
Wanyama
Sissoko
Eriksen
Dele
Lucas
Son
With so many more outlets than route one to Fernando last time, I see us seeing plenty of the ball and closing down like we know we can and should in a mammoth moment for all involved with the club. Hopefully we have depth with Aurier, Lamela & Llorente on the bench who can add a little something if need be. Far, far healthier than a bench consisting of no attacking options last time around, one that restricted us to full back substitutions when chasing a goal yet we are still well in this tie, we just need to keep a professional head and not snatch at things.
Patience, ruthlessness and artfulness high on the agenda tonight. This lot will be scared of us as the game goes on if we implement ourselves correctly without all the head banging malarkey of recent months against a young team & one that doesn't have the luxury of a whole weeks rest before they walk out against a far stronger Tottenham team than they weren't able to pick off last time around.
Keep it tight at the back, don't give them an inch in midfield and know that when the chances come we need to and will bury them. No mercy, 3-1 on the night for Spurs, go make yourselves legends and do what we know you can do lads. The game is about glory!

Jesus wept when is it legitimate to have your first pint.
You should see what's coming through the Euro tunnel son.
7am kick-off over here, should be finished before the school run - unless it goes into extra time

Our time has arrived. Cup final tonight.........COYS
I had a vision, a prophecy if you like.
Before the dawn comes, we will be hanging out the back of them

Anyone know where Spurs fans are drinking? I thought I could wing it but Amsterdam is rather big ochfacepalm:
ochfacepalm:What I don't understand is why clubs in the away legs of a massive semi final in the CL don't book hotels away from the city, the noise, find a country hotel which is isolated and hard to access but is around an hour from the stadium. Don't stay in the city centre for fucks sake
The Barca team were kept awake by scally scousers letting off fireworks outside their hotel in Liverpool city centre. Absolutely poor planning from Barca imo. However many teams have been guilty of this over the years
Rant over
What did Ajax do the same to us last night?
Yep, just like they did to Real Madrid and Juventus.
