One of the big talking points from Tottenham Hotspur's defeat in the Champions League final was the surprise omission of Lucas Moura from the starting XI against Liverpool.

Well if it was me it'd have been Moura (& Kane) starting and Alli on the bench - but whatever. Poch had his strategy and tbh it paid off in a way. We were the better team all things considered so can't fault him that much ?‍♂️

The players just failed to deliver had they played anything like their best we would have won. Not to do with tactics or team selection I feel

We were very unlcuky imo. I personally think we should have started with the same team that beat Ajax and then introduce Kane with 30 or so minutes to go.
Or if starting with Kane then sub him on the hour mark.
An experience and learning curve for each player and manager and caoching staff.
Still proud of my team. Still thought it was our CL to win.
