Just like last year...
Let's just admit Pochettino has done what most Bielsa disciples couldn't and built a team that peaks late.

Not sure Pogba is performing significantly worse than he did at Juve btw. There's a level of scrutiny Premier League players get on a match to match basis which is much greater than anyone at a club like Juve or Bayern get who can afford to have off days and still win the league easily. I'm guessing that though, because, much to the point, I pretty much only ever saw highlights of him in a Juve shirt.

Yeah you could be right. He had a pretty serious highlight reel at Juve though. IIRC he’s never scored a particularly good goal for us.
I thought his current ability was overrated then anyway. Might still be although you hear a very wide range of opinions of him now so it’s hard to make a call on something like that.

Far too good for our boys by the looks of it.
What price an Alli red card before the evening's over?
Not even pretending to hide it anymore.

I thought it was pretty even. Juve generally better in both boxes but Spurs controlled the game. Can only imagine what Costa would do to Aurier/Sanchez if Juve had been able to work the ball to him consistently.
Needing a win off Spurs at Wembley is an ugly spot to be in.

love these late winners. Top in February and 90 minutes from a Wembley final, pinch me now before it all goes **** up.

All true. It strikes me as slightly odd that they've stepped up a gear in Europe but, on the face of it, done the opposite in their domestic league.
Maybe Cabs is right about rising standards in the EPL.
But last night was great. I suspect that Juve will be a bit relieved not to have lost the match actually.

I think they're much the same as last year, maybe slightly better. It's just that they played their best stuff last year when they'd already gone out of Europe. Their form really fluctuates depending on the fitness of key players. They utterly humiliate United and Arsenal and get the better of Juve away but when Eriksen gets the flu they almost lose to Newport County.
I really like watching them. They have that Atletico quality of exposing the fact that nobody else is properly trying.

Oh you guys are talking about that team who are 20 points behind City, right?

Heh, if I'd made a post like this when United were good you'd have spontaneously vomited all over your keyboard.
