They're very very far from a 'stinking side' when their players are fit. Which they're not. There's players out there tonight who are barely 50% fit, and running on fumes. Fair play to Ajax though. They're not impregnable, but they're bloody amazing to watch. Only a side with as much energy as them can stop them - which fortunately, Liverpool are. Barring the impossible in the second half, it should be some final. More broadly: something is wrong at Tottenham behind the scenes. I'd never previously thought Poch would leave. I'm starting to think he might well now. This physical collapse is because their squad is nothing like strong enough - which all goes back to Levy - and Eriksen looks like he's off. It he goes, Poch goes, I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People go on about this Ajax team attacking but their defensive play is superb, they never look flustered. If De Ligt continues to develop his play we, in my opinion, are looking at the successor to Beckenbaeur. He really looks that good. Boy’s only 19 as well. An outrageous talent.

Rightfully they get plaudits for the attack but they are so calm and composed at the back it gives their midfield so much more space. De Ligt is a Colossus.

CJGJ Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Looks like Poch will be staying after all...... Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has hinted he could leave the club if they win the Champions League this year. He says he could not "repeat the miracle" of winning it with Spurs, who face Ajax on Wednesday trailing 1-0 from the semi-final first leg. "To win in these circumstances this season, maybe I need to think about maybe doing something different in the future," said Pochettino. Asked if he was serious about possibly leaving, he said: "It's not a joke." He added: "Winning the Champions League? It should be fantastic, no? Close the five-year chapter and go home.

I don't hate him but I do hate Barça and I suppose he's the poster boy for the club. Also think he's not quite the "squeaky clean, team before individual" person that people think. The way the Barça PR department depicts him and the club is second to none. Even if the reality is far from that. Not disputing his talent though. Arguably the best there's ever been.
