Nookie Bear Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 1 hour ago, shaun.lawson said: Ridiculous comment. 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.

And those fans were incredible. At 2-2, so many other home supports would've gone quiet. Ajax fans just carried on making the most cacophonous din. And the applause after Mora's third... that was special. Beautiful, even. I've been watching football - I've been watching professional sport - for over 30 years, and talking constant shite about it for almost as long. But I've never seen anything as good as this season's Champions League. It's absolutely unbelievable on every possible level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week reminds me when a knockout European tournament was the best. It used to be, and when it becomes knockout, it recovers that magic ! This is fair comment. I find (most of) the group stages unwatchable... albeit this season, Tottenham's constant miracles started there. There's been a lot of talk in the last couple of years of scrapping the away goals rule. I really hope they don't. I think it adds to the psychology of these amazing two legged contests hugely. Then there's the four automatic spots for England, Spain, Germany and Italy. This is simultaneously very unjust on everyone else... but it reflects what people want to see. All the big clubs from all those countries battling it out on epic nights. There's still the chance for someone else to emerge, as Ajax have shown. Plus the four automatic places should, I hope, steadily help Serie A recover its former prominence: which is definitely a good thing.

Quality and great management told. Eriksson had a poor game, yes I think from his downbeat interview after one of the comebacks of all time you may well be right I agree about Ajax though, technically they are impressive.

Group matches do this tournament a serious disservice. I only watch from the last 16 these days. Spanish domination could be over for some time. The World League of Englandshire is going to dominate. Most likely 2 all English finals. Burnley the only team not to reach the QF and Man United the only other team to get beat from a foreign side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
