Confirmed XI Lloris (C), Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Wanyama, Sissoko, Eriksen, Dele, Lucas, Son
On the face of it, not a bad XI under the circumstances.
Jan Vertonghen is no wallflower and I don’t expect him to bore us with the same ‘ooh, my injury’ nonsense that we’ve had inflicted upon us by Dele Alli.
Speaking of growing a pair, Christian Eriksen and Dele need to act like men, opposed to mice this evening.
The Wanyama/Dier axis has never worked, but this is a moot point, we realised after the last window that Dembele wasn’t going to be replaced anytime soon.
Lucas MUST offer more than huff and puff.
Erik Lamela is the super sub? No, me neither.
Oh yes, and don’t forget that Jim White wants a bloody good metaphorical kicking for his mischievous ‘Sky Sources suggest that Harry Kane could feature’ guano.
Here’s their side.
There’s danger here Hakim Ziyech has scored or assisted a goal in four of Ajax’s five Champions League knockout games this season (2 goals, 2 assists).
He set up Donny van de Beek for Ajax’s goal in the first leg against Tottenham.
May your gods go with you.
Yeah, dunno why he took Rose off. Tired legs possibly?! Looked ok to me.
Oh yeah…
He was great
Every bar will play it, in French
Will Origi get that joy against us? It is what it is, inspirational performance on the night. Nothing more to say…
On the 1st Paul, cheap holiday but actually I might fly direct to Madrid must be cheaper,,it’s 750 quid from Edinburgh already ,,normally 50 quid.
But i think you could be right about re-building morale and momentum, they’re in the CL final ffs, they might actually finally get to bust their collective nut after four years of dry humping
I watched Tintin’s post match in disbelief, the guy must have xanax for blood! Demeanour of someone who’d just qualified against non-league oppo for fifth round of FA cup – weird AF!
Do you mean tonight or on the 1st Cab? What’s happening in Turkey, other than election rigging?
I’m flying back from Turkey and arrive back at Edinburgh at 1.30 am ,my brother lives in Spain so is looking for tickets from mates.
You are right Paul. This team was broken and this result has totally rebuilt the morale and momentum. They will get a massive turnout for the Everton match now and who knows perhaps it will convince the likes of Toby to think again. I am not sure about Eriksen as I think he has already made the decision to leave and his after match comments were not those of someone who to me feels committed to the club. The question is if the impossible happens and we beat Liverpool will Pooch think that is then the perfect time to leave. He could walk into any job then anywhere and I think he may well choose to wave goodbye to Levy and ENIC.
Berserker mayhem
Also it would drop Levy right in the shit.No one deserves it more.
You know what if we somehow manage to win the CL and Poch leaves along with half the players it would almost be worth it to achieve the one thing ARSE could never do!
Back this manager Levy you knucklehead
Ah! I’ve had yank studio pundits
Replayed the studio reaction.
Could this result and Poch’s proper show of emotion at the end prove to be some sort of catalyst? We’ve only gone and matched pooh’s result from last night and we did it away – a lot to draw on and it’s just one match (hopium pipe now firmly being toked)
You’re kidding right?
Just seen Glenda having another heart attack.
Yeah but unfortunately i have to stay in France that day. Hotel better have super fackin fast wifi!
You’re halfway there then.
I arrive in fackin France that day ?
Anyone thinking of going??
Even a broken clock is right twice a day! He has got bloody quick fee tho.
Good point.
Total legend ,really actually means something.
I’ve been critical of Moura as well,but always maintained he has pace,quick feet and can get up well for a little guy.His problem has mostly been that final ball.Well he nailed it tonight,well done to him.
He won’t get that kind of joy against pooh but hey i’ll take it tonight, total legend!
It shows what it means to him, gotta love that. This season has been testing for him working under Baldy, it all came out there!!
in one final match?
Bless him, the bloke genuinely feels it. Fuck, who doesn’t want a manager that cries with the fans with joy? Love him to bits!
CoCo’s back!!
Nor Dier.
Proof that Lorente’s best role is as a late sub!
Ooh right. Sorry. Thought you meant rest them for next game. Let’s hope Liverpool burn out trying to win league
Who else have we got?
Moura has made me eat my words, bloody ledge now isn’t he!!
The problems are still the problems. Ajax were naive as hell and unlucky. But oh my was that still some second half performance. Loose, stressful, unbearable but we kept going. Pochettino, mister, you break my heart. You are a legend whatever happens from here. Thank you.
Fucker collapsed em, now for klopp
I think everyone on here thought the worst when we went in 2-0 down at halftime.But credit the lads,it wasn’t pretty but we did it.However this game once more showed us those players who just aren’t good enough.Agreed Trippier and Wanyama should not get anywhere near the final team.
BIG save from Hugo and just re-watched Moura’s second, that was a very very good goal, ludicrously quick feet
By my reckoning after Everton they have a break until the CL final in June
Yeah he totally lost it, nice to see actually.
Lorente isn’t a striker, just a holderupier…..but tonight he got it right
Poch in tears.
That spurred him on.
Some idiot suggest taking Moura off at half time…
Yeah imagine being there for that. I bet a few fucked it off at HT!!
It was still a mistake to hook Rose! Llorente actually did very very well and Ali i thought played well tonight. Sonny was awful and Eriksen similar. Sissy was a fucking machine pretty much as always now! Moura? Jesus christ, mOurs!
Well Done Lads. What a night to be in Amsterdam. The Fans deserve it.
What game you resting them for after Everton? Only 2 games left.
or get through it…?
I have no words to describe what I just saw. Moura …. wow..just wow. Llorente made a huge difference. Even Lamela added some extra bite and energy. When Pooch hooked Rose off for Davies I screamed nooooooooooooooooooooo Rose looked right up for this but now.. we can hopefully smash Everton secure CL next year and then rest our squad to get fit for a CL f88king final…. please do not play Trippier against Liverpool or Wanyama.
We all need to be extra extra negative at the start of the final, it’s the only way we’re going to win it !
I honestly don’t think a single spurs fan worldwide saw that second half performance coming or even as being possible, extraordinary! Just goes to show you that at this level when so much is at stake what one single goal can do for one side’s confidence and the nerves of the opposition. Un be fuckin lievable
I wish I didn’t despise ENIC so much, it ruins the ride…..well done lads, amazing second half..
HA!
I feel for Hoddles ticker
Well fuck me, just absolutely fuck me sideways.
Your negativity helped, as did mine.
Fuck me! Does this price gazza conspiracy?
I dont know whether to cry or vomit . Unbelievable.
Yessy
For the fans, brill, they deserve it.
Well so much for my negativity and moaning it’s been emotional. I never saw that coming.
I love you Poch….
Liverpools name on the trophy.
Ha ha ha
What just happo?
Mother of all gods
OH MY GOD!!!!
You called it.
Fukking wow.
Forget all I said earlier.
Goal!
Well, we played with pride, thats all I wanted, a bit of belief. Good try boys
I want a Penalty.
Davies is a cunt.
terrible terrible mistake to take rose off
5mins ET
Feck if we score, I’m going to lace the Ovaltine
Dying
daniel – good good, just enough
ah fuck this’ll kill me
aint that the truth
Liverpool must be watching this planning their open top bus route, both teams look beatable to any half decent side.
poch has form for hooking him when he’s riled up but playing great
agreed
Davies, great contribution. Prick
Absolute mistake to take rose off
Sonny has been poor af for us tonight, why davies ffs?!?!?
8 mins, just 1 goal. Who is the God of footie?
What Davies???
Davies – feck.
Come on coco, i know i coated you off earlier but!
good
Pammy on
This game will be all about spectacle we won’t get the winner but will look like we might.
He’s a carnage machine when he gets a head of steam up
