If we decide to play like first half Yesterday, we might as well just give them the victory.

I know a lot of people jokingly said pre game they weren't going to watch our first half, I'm now starting to think this was the case. We weren't great prior to them scoring and we were better second half but the first half (goals aside wasn't anywhere near as bad performance wise as many are making out.

That's the spirit!

Antonio got this:
Tottenham’s Antonio Conte has won more matches in all competitions against Milan than he has versus any other side in his managerial career.( With Juventus not Spurs obviously)

Ibrahimovic's recovery 'progressing well' - he could be an extra weapon for Milan vs. Spurs

AC Milan could well take on Tottenham with an additional string in their bow as Zlatan Ibrahimovic should be fully recovered by then.

He could be back. No point in overthinking it now as both teams (mainly is, though) could look very different by the time this tie rolls around, depending on what happens in the world cup and January transfer window.

 

[Serpico]

Bring it on.

 

[Japhet]

Quite like that draw.

Quite like that draw.

Considering the other teams we could have drawn, AC Milan is probably the easiest of the lot.

A seriously underperforming Chelsea turned them over home and away.

A few upgrades in Jan, players back to full fitness and we should be seeing AC off.

Had we not won the group we would have been up against Europe’s in form team in Napoli

They are not playing as well as they did last season, very winnable this one.

 

[KirstyG]

Tricky match but it’s a proper European game which is why we are in this competition and it’s what we want to see. There won’t be many chumps left in this tournament now so may as well enjoy it!

yeah, for other teams not Spurs

 

[SPURSLIFE]

It used to be a worry playing top Italian sides. They didn't score a lot of goals but could sit on a 1-0 lead for days and always difficult to beat. Not anymore, certainly not at the moment with perhaps the exception, this season anyway, being Napoli. We could have had a lot worse draw and if we turn up for 90 minutes and not 45 we can win this. I feel very confident we will. It's not until early next year and hopefully Conte will have us firing.
