He won’t though Sandy.

We will lose to the first decent side we face despite having better players. That’s because Mourinho is not coaching the players properly, has a tactical approach that is out-dated and makes constant incorrect team selections and substitutes.
His whole approach is reactionary and out-dated.

There are probably 7-8 sides in the competition we cannot beat.

Although last nights opponents weren't exactly Bayern Munich I still enjoyed watching us play some classy stuff and scoring some great goals.

It isn't Joses style but what I would like to see for the rest of the season is an acceptance of the fact that with our shocking keeper and central defence we will concede in most games so lets concentrate on attacking and trying to out score our opponents.

I hope Bale and Dele start against Burnley as they've both earnt it and if nothing else it will be entertaining.

You really don`t know that as a fact. Over two legw, I would back Spurs against any team left in the competition. We will see soon enough who is correct though.

Just for the record who are the 7 or 8 clubs you think could knock Spurs out?

Was a very decent game Pawl. Made a difference that an opposition team just did not put 10 men behind the ball. Because Wolfsberger played good open football, it allowed Spurs to as well.

Sorry Sandy but I’d expect Leicester to beat Spurs 9 out of 10..... They are miles better than us.... for starters they have a proper back 4 and a progressive manager

With that said..... I enjoyed last night’s game

====================

Glad you didn't get offended by that name, mr positive

I think lot of ppl forget something fundamental about this bunch of players: some of them playing together for a very short time. The more they'll play together the more they'll trust each other more.
When Spurs go to the CL final, the team had partnerships all over the pitch, and some that were few years together.
Right now, when under pressure, some players don't really trust others and drop deep collectively to help out.

They beat us by playing low block, the very thing SPurs fans moan about.

Leicester gave us the ball and possession, and defended with 10 players, and hit us on counter-attacks.
I don't think we will get done like that again.

Plus Aurier gave them a boost before HT by gifting a pen

I don't agree, Leicester have definitely been better than us this season up until now but I think we have the better players and a return to form from the likes of Dele and Bale combined with a more attacking style could make us a very diferent proposition from when they did us 0-2 earlier in the season.

Its a shame Utd dropped out of the CL as I would make them favourites to win it. Spurs v Utd final?

The Dele goal is actually sublime. He adjusted the trajectory of the ball, because he knew he was kind of centre of the goal and didn't want to allow the keeper to save it. Really well improvised and executed.

Bale shot and goal, had power, bend and speed. It arrowed into the back of the net, and it's almost like a challenge to the keeper "save that if you can!"

Refreshing to know we have source of goals if we need them. I was getting worried we relied on Son/Kane for far too long.

Why a shame? If it weren't United that dropped down it would have been Leipzig or Paris, both of which would have gave you a royal hiding, especially over two legs.

With United you atleast have a chance, especially if it's the final.

Leicester are not miles better, the last two times Spurs played Leicester, Spurs won one game 3-0, Leicester won one game 2-0. Supporters get so carried away that lots of teams are better than Spurs they simply are not. Not disputing that Leicester are having a better Prem season, but frankly even Fulham are in better Prem form. Don`t make them a better overall team though.

Form is temporary, class is permanent, would you sooner have over a whole season, Bale, Kane, Son etc leading your front line or a 34 year old.

Spurs over a two legged tie would beat Leicester most times.

Arsenal. Spurs beat them every time they play them, and the last time they played United they beat them 6-1.

Benfica will probably knock Arsenal out anyway.

Your not very good at this are you.

His hold up play was poor for the first 30 mintues last night, but he always has a knack of being in the right place to score goals. He is definitely an upgrade on some of the duds Spurs have had in the past few years.

Seeing the youngsters get minutes and build confidence in the Europa shows how we need to be in at least that comp next season.

Forgot AC Milan were still in it. Eric Dier keeping Zlatan quiet? You can't knock Sandy's sense of humour!

I know but I'm feeling good this morning and I really fancy us to go on a bit of a run now.

When I'm lying in a darkened room after the Burnley game I may feel differently. Haha.

Both AC Milan and Roma have players more successful themselves than Tottenham are as a club.
