Madrid will probably be forced to play with their strongest team against Dortmund now which is their last game because they need to fight for first place. One point here is huge.

Don't wanna be too harsh on Eriksen as he's been good this season, think it was just an off night for him. Maybe the slight tactical tweak of playing with 2 strikers had an effect on him, no idea but he weren't at the races today. Hopefully he's back to his best at the weekend.

When Eriksen is not playing well, we suffers. But today we still are ok. Signs of progression as a team unit.

Special mention to Aurier. Silly bloody error and he could have gone to pieces, but from that point onwards he was a rock and never gave Marcello a sniff.

We have gone up a level tonight.

Lloris, awesome
Dier, Verts and Toby solid as you like.
Winks went in against some genuinely great midfielders and showed he can get to that level.
Sissoko getting better all the time.
Aurier showed some exciting glimpses, pen aside. Llorente an exciting new tactical option
Eriksen and Kane a little quiet and should have maybe scored but who cares, love them both so much.

Pochettino, a tactical lord.

Special mention for Harry Winks. My word I’m so happy he’s English. That was top class.

Let's hope Southgate was watching. He's EXACTLY what England need in the middle of the park. Who the fuck am I kidding though, he'll play Henderson and Livermore.

He does have the odd off day. Probably why he plays for us not Madrid. Fortunately he is so good over the season he makes it up to us.

So many stand out performances.

Sissoko looks as though he's growing into his new role. Winks didn't look out of place against arguably the world's best midfield and Sanchez looked solid.

Given the fact that we started with an unfamiliar formation with a number of injuries - that was an incredibly good performance and a great point away against a team that's dominated Europe for the last two years.

European champions could score against us from open play.

Reckon we'll beat them at Wembley.

Nice to look at the table, Madrid and Spurs 7pts Apoel and Dortmund 1pt.

Click to expand...

Yep, assuming we win at home to Apoel that's 10 points meaning Dortmund have to win v us and Madrid in Madrid as well as Madrid beating us at Wembley, a lot has to go right for them and wrong from us from here on in for us to fail.

Whereas they strolled to a 7-0...

Think we'll be fine as it's on Sunday. Plenty of recovery time.

Sorry to be pessimistic, but I can't see anything other than a Madrid win. 2-0 IMO.

With a fit Wanyama and Dembele in midfield I reckon we could've given them a game, but without those two I think we'll be overwhelmed.

Very very glad I was wrong

Thought Eriksen was alright second half actually. First half he wasn't great but second half he improved. Some of the criticism of him is too much.
