Finally someone watching Man City. Apparently they should've conceded a penalty too. Everything is going their way this season. Referees, last minute goals, lack of injuries and quick recovery to key players.
Champions League Round of 16 (13th Feb - 14th Mar)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Caught in no man's land unfortunately. Made up Kane's mind for him.
Juve will be a lot more tired from that half than they're used to - or so I imagine. They did a lot of chasing around, which often happens with teams that face Spurs.
So my hope is that this will tell 2nd half - especially if we bring Son or Moura on.

As a biased spurs fan I can confirm it was 100% a penalty.
So true. Nobody seems to have his profile within your squad
I'm not so sure taking a goal back home having lost is that good a deal for away teams anymore. Especially against top teams, the top team will most likely score against you at your place anyway. Top teams usually score. A draw is a good result, a 2-2 would surely make Spurs faveourite, but surely not as it stands.
Juve have been quite poor yet still had the best chances, Spurs starting like that is unforgivable, Davies has offered width in attack but his quality and assuredness has left much to be desired. The way they have come back into the game is commendable though, but it's not enough for them yet I don't think.

Bit bizarre to see Buffon celebrating winning a penalty. It was not like dying moments of the match
Gotta give it out to Tottenham. When they went down by two goals in first 10, most teams would've given up. They stuck to their plan and look like a better team.
We’re coached by Martinez so instead of a Dembele KDB Nainggolan midfield in a 433 or 352 we’ll get the ‘fro boys and Timmy Simonsare Davies & Aurier supposed to be more solid defensively? -
agree about Dembele, playing very well atm
did someone say Fellaini plays ahead of him for Belgium,
turn the telly on,
How do you figure?
He's nowhere near the ball and just lifted Costa in the air
Good luck for the second half, Serge! Nice to hear from you during half time.
So, Juventus are facing Spurs with a midfield two of Khedira and Pjanic? I know they're not Pogba, but even so…
Penalty miss, another Higuin miss that he should have buried.
Sandro so hungry for the ball there.
We should sign Sandro and give him a number close to Valencia. Teams won't figure out who's who.
Aurier to miss the return leg, Juventus will be gutted he got booked there
Standard Aurier to be booked bet
Aurier now misses next game. That is a relief for Spurs fans.
Doesn’t matter though, it was quite obvious city would put 3 or 4 past Basel.
Aurier misses next match. Lucky Spurs.
Just counted the Juve sitters then?
Get Aurier off in the next 5 minutes or the ref will do it for you.
Best news for Spurs. Aurier booked
oh dear,
It goes from bad to worse for Juve. First the penalty miss and now Aurier misses the second leg.
Atleast when we failed to win at Juve in 2006, we were 2-0 up from the first leg.
A boxing referee would have stopped the fight between Pjanic and Dembele already.
Spurs got lucky there. Aurier misses next match with this yellow.
Imagine if we ended up signing Aurier. We'd be so thankful for Smalling ffs.
So dumb from Pjanic
I think Spurs with some experience and confidence would be winning this. I don't think this Juve team is as that strong as it has a lot of big players missing. They're gettable but I don't know if Spurs have the belief they can do this.
That Juve bench is weak as fudge .
So we're only counting Juve chances? Interesting way to look at it.
Why isnt Son playing yet, he’s always a good impact player.
Aurier is poor. Does he offer enough in attack to have him messing up the defence? I haven't seen enough of him really.
Was always a bit disappointed we didn't go for him.
You’re doing well in this thread, two rubbish posts. When’s the third coming?
Juve have looked anything but controlled in defence and midfield for a good spell in the first half. They were just hoofing the ball away, straight into Spurs players. Dembele easily won that midfield battle.
