I think we stand a decent chance. Defenders not trying to clear the ball by either heading it directly into the floor, or passing it into their own goal, would be a good start...

Not sure why people are being so pessimistic, we beat them comfortably at our place and what did anyone see that night to be scared of ? have some faith for christ sake and Spurs to get a couple of goals.Hope we never have to go to war with some of the posters on here :(

Foyth repeatedly trying to dribble past people when he was the last man and losing the ball?
I hope to Christ he doesnt play tonight.
Accident waiting to happen.

Reus and Alcacer were back for their last game. That will make their attack different from when they were at Wembley. How much difference it will make, we'll see tonight.

I personally think we should hammer the fuck out of them in the first 20 minutes - score the away goal - then party time

Otherwise im shitting it haaaaaard

Reading this thread already, it's pretty easy to see where Owen got his opinion from. I'm with @JCRD though, I think starting aggressive early will surprise them.

Has there been any dortmund team news?

Marco Reus is fit after missing the first leg with a thigh strain, although Marcel Schmelzer and Christian Pulisic will face late fitness tests. Lukas Piszczek remains sidelined.

No chance we make it easy here so an outright win is not happening. We’ll either lose outright, lose on penalties or lose 3-1 and go through on away goals. We’re spurs. We’ve seen this movie before. We dont learn. Seriously, who in the world goes for it here? Turtle and frustrate them to hit on the counter. This is where we need to be pragmatic for once. They’re going to send everyone forward.

With a good game plan and execution, it shouldn't be an issue. But as we all know, we Spurs have a history of coming from ahead. Moura and/or Son could figure prominently on the counter on this one. Dier in the middle in front of a back four could clog it up quite nicely if he is back on his game.

Going through with a 4-1 loss does seem like something that we would do, but I do genuinely think we will win the game tonight by 1 or 2 clear goals.

We'll win 3-4 in that case, so no away goals needed. (y)

Agreed - get the away goal, and the match is done and dusted.

Sit back and try to absorb pressure - then it will be squeaky bum time later.

Don't you fellas remember inter milan away a few years ago when we had a 3-0 lead from the first leg?

AVB said he thought getting an away goal would end the tie, so thats how he set us up with Defoe & Adebayor up top, and we almost went out.

Lets just take a 1-0 loss and move on.
