UEFA Champions League/Europa League 7/8/9 May *** Spoilers ***

Not exactly. 1-0 would have needed pens to go through. To win the tie outright they needed 2 goals from the start.
Yes but that doesn't mean that conceding one meant 'nothing changed'. The situation did change because it meant that they needed 2 inside 90, whereas before that 1 could have been enough to see them into penalties and then its anyone's game.

True but I don't think you can play for a 1-0 - I'm sure Spurs game plan was to score at least twice in 90 minutes and not worry about that 1 bit of bad luck or a wonder strike. And in my defence, I only said it didn't change much.
 
It's really good ammunition for Poch to get transfer funds. If you go deep in the season, you need a bigger squad- you can't run a 22 man squad where 4 of that number are U21 players and 2 are out on loan.

In another sense though, nothing changed in that Spurs were always destined to bottle it :p

(Watch the 3 goal comeback happen now I've said that)

Yeah, Spurs are suffering from something for sure. Eriksen has looked ***** for the past god knows how long and Spurs are generally looking tired and a bit off the pace at times.

That being said, I would rather see Ajax in the final because Spurs vs Liverpool would be a shame.

Yeah, players dont want penalties, fans love it but players dont, complete toss up. Spurs players would have gone into the game needing 2 goals within 90 mins.
 
So if Utd had lost against Ajax in 2017 they would have become this good?!? I'm right aren't I? That's how it works.

Oh, you need a good club setup, a youth system that is integral to the first team and inspiring, attacking, penetrating football. Someone tell Ed.

It's one thing wanting and needing transfer funds but what can Spurs afford? In the medium term Spurs won't benefit massively from the extra revenue from the stadium as that's going to be used to pay back some hefty loans - the benefit will be that they're no longer paying for the stadium with existing revenues like they have been in the last few years. That said, I'd imagine there's still a fair amount of finishing touches that need paying for before Spurs are even back to where they were 2-3 years ago.

The squad has been exhausted, the players who are fit are also constantly having to play out of position. We've lost all our fluidity and energy as a result - the players aren't confident in their positions and are knackered.

Eriksen is on the right wing this game and Moura is the lone striker.

The stadium isn't meant to impact spending power - I think we'll have £100m to spend. We need some central midfielders, a striker and some right backs.

I'd love Gomes and Tielemens.
