Storts Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 4 minutes ago, SirBalon said: It's an excellent point because you're seeing REAL MADRID on the home scoreboard. You're better than them right now by a decent margin and they're playing very nervously at home this season. You should've gotten the three points but at the same time lady luck could've played you a bad turn and you could've come home with nothing, so in that sense it's good. But they're there for the taking right now if you've been following La Liga with Real Madrid. I agree with you - with more experience and confidence we'd have won here tonight, but first real big away CL test for this team and I'm immensely proud. No other Tottenham team for a very long time would have performed like that at Real Madrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to retire Ronaldo Both were sensational. Poch is a miracle worker, what a shift from Sissoko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storts Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 To reiterate @SirBalon Real Madrid had won 21 and drawn 2 since their last home group stage defeat in 2009. Hard to do what Spurs did. The 2 draws were v Dortmund. That's why this point was so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 1 minute ago, The Artful Dodger said: Real Madrid absolutely battered Spurs in the second half. No way that was a bad result for them. I wouldn't say battered... I'd say more like "played with anxiety" which is what that 'furious attacking play' has been labelled as in Spain this season. It's not composed and they're playing at home. Of course they're going to dominate various factors of proceedings but this is a game of details and Spurs had those details well mapped out by Pochettino. Put it this way... In Spain right now (the media) are saying Spurs deserved the victory and Real should feel happy with the draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Madrid were denied by the wonders of lloris. Put it however you like, I couldn’t care what the Mickey Mouse media in Spain say. Spurs were worthy of a point and no more.

HK85 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Really is going to be frightening the amount of goals Kane is going to score in that Madrid side soon. He'd have gobbled up them Benzema chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 8 minutes ago, SirBalon said: This is true, but even their home game against APOEL which ended 3-0 and looks convincing, wasn't! It was all sorted in the final minutes and APOEL had plenty of chances to get something. Their form has translated to the Champions League at home as this is only their second home game in this competition and they (Real) were nothing like what they should be. But be assured that away they're a different story right now. They're not brilliant, but they're more solid and haven't been put through too many issues away. They'll get better as the season progresses because they've got the squad to do it, but these are the moments to take advantage of. They very easily could have lost that game if not for some excellent goalkeeping. No matter how you slice it, good result for Spurs. Obviously a win would have been better, but none of their fans or their players are going to be unhappy with a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it. But you're wrong in this case as I couldn't give a damn what the result is between those two... I watched it with interest and very little more, but I do love Pochettino and he played it perfectly there and the three points should've been taken back to somewhere just outside North London.

On that note, how's Coutinho fitting in to the Barcelona side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note, how's Coutinho fitting in to the Barcelona side? Because the Spanish media know how Real Madrid play and what’s expected of them on the pitch. The world can watch and do all they like but the home media knows more about its clubs than foreign media. As for Coutinho... He needs development and bo better place than where he’s been for a while to get that. The step up will be massive, but a dream come true for him I’m sure.
