LIVE BLOG vs RB Leipzig

By The Boy -

In the first leg, Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann became the youngest manager to manage in a Champions League knockout match (32 years & 211 days). The youngest manager to progress from a knockout tie is Didier Deschamps in 2003-04 with Monaco (35 years & 147 days).

Tottenham boss José Mourinho has lost seven of his nine away Champions League games in Germany (W2), losing more away games there than any other country. Indeed, those seven defeats account for 30% of his away defeats in the Champions League (7/23).

All three of Spurs’ Champions League defeats this season have been against German teams (two v Bayern Munich, one v RB Leipzig) – only one team has ever lost more than three in a single campaign all against teams of the same nation, with Leeds United losing all five of their games against Spanish opponents in 2000-01.

Remind me what you’re loser hero did in his first four months again. I know what he didn’t do in 5.5 years. You hate Jose and want him to fail. I’d respect you a tad more if you owned it. Instead of slating him and his team followed by “I hope I’m wrong” no you don’t.

I think poch did get a free pass. (Should never have got them 10 games) levy. You’re getting soft (only do that when we’re on top, but only slightly) run this thing ruthlessly. The “ten games. See where sentiment gets ya in this thing. I know you know we can handle the no CL for a season hit. so just continue building up the thing. We’ll get there. COYS.

I think we punched above our financial weight for a long time in our old little stadium while working on this big one. I know all fans want is trophies (now and forever) but its obviously not as easy as just “wanting” if we woulda done it in less time and maybe nick couple cups on route levy would be a hero. Unfortunately it never turned out like that but we got here anyway. I rate Levy’s stubbornness. Through all the abuse he never once lost focus on his plan to be able to take all clubs on financially. A year or so in and we are where we are. In good shap€. We will be able to compete forever. TOTTENHAM LONDON.

Jose has NOT always played this way. Can’t remember his duff and robin team playing the way you say he always played. Inter played some nice stuff too. So did Porto actually. Jose had black hair then. Anyway Sacramento is in charge of more than you think.

Absolutely gutted. Really sinking in how we had such a great period and it was stolen from us by ZERO investment. Toby and Verts are worth v little now. The youth have no confidence as Jose has the man management skills of Josef Mengele. How much worse could it have been if we had just backed Poch a bit in the winter break? He never got to work with Nblob and Locelso. Just imagine we had Fernandes and Grealish who were ready to jump and had let Eriksen go and not stagnate. It actually hurts.

I have watched almost all their matches this season, they do not have any strikers and not much quality in the front outside of Sabitzer and Werner. Most of their goals this the winter break have come from their defence on set pieces. Early in the season before Demme left for Napoli, they had this insane press that led them to average 20+ shots a match, and they would miss at least a half dozen tap-ins every match. If somebody hires this manager and gives him some talent, he will win many titles, including the Champions League.

Outstanding post. His system worked eons ago before the press came into the game. His squad would work their tails off to win the ball back, pass it back to the keeper, catch their breaths, and then build slowly from the back, probing until they found a hole in the opponent’s midfield. That doesn’t work anymore. The only club left in the league, besides us now, that allows you to build slowly from the back without pressure is Villa, which is why that is the only match we have looked good in since he changed our system in January.

Couldn’t turn Utd around, can’t turn Spurs around. Anyone want to deny that there’s a pattern emerging here for Jose?

In fact Jose has never had a ‘tough’ job as a manager, he’s basically been spoilt throughout his career.

Every team he’s gone to have had the biggest spend in every league he’s managed in and he’s never had to turn around clubs with endemic issues before, like Utd and Spurs.

He’s a cheque book manager and his man management has never been properly tested before his last two jobs.

The world he inhabited as a manager previously has now gone, partly because the game has moved on and partly because none of the petrodollar clubs want him anymore. It’s China or Qatar next for Jose…
