Three at the back, here we fucking go...

Please just a good performance or at least a method of playing that will actually create chances. Don't want to see anything like the last 3 games!

Got to wonder why he is persisting with three at the back formation. Really haven’t performed well with this formation recently. In fact we look worse defensively when playing it

That BVB lineup. Please Poch. Dont tempt fate. Be pragmatic and park the bus. Hit on the counter. That team looks ripe for Son and Harry to find joy on the counter attack.

There will be an onslaught for the first 15-20 minutes - hopefully we get can through that period and hit them on the break.

Getting sick of yellow wall this and yellow wall that. Surprised barely any mention of Jadon "Jesus" Sancho so far..

No. For the blatant disregard (and disrespect) for a lad who plays for the club he is supposed to support.

So you're honestly saying you've never been relieved to see a Spurs player not starting or being on the bench?

Yeah I mean who the fuck can we turn against without him or Tripps in the side, my moneys on Serge being that poor bastard tonight.

Hugo
Trip
Aurier
Davies
Sissoko
Lamela

We have a ton of scapegoats my friend, think eriksen is dangerously close to mutating hind legs too

I'd be utterly gobsmacked if this wasn't the approach tonight. Just spend the first half of the game launching long balls up the wing for Son and Kane to run on to.

We all have players we prefer and wish started over others, but once the whistle goes we should get behind every player on the pitch and whoever comes off the bench to play. Don't think that's too much to ask for.

Thankfully we have that 3 goal advantage but I really would have preferred us having the extra man in midfield and played a back four with Vertonghen out on the left.

Goes without saying, Dortmund are going to bang up for this and press like fuck from the outset so we best be prepared to fight because anything passive and we'll be punished.

You think some comments on a forum are going to affect Foyth?

The thing i dont like about a back 3 with our personel is that it seems to invite teams onto us. We should always be a team that applies pressure and not invite it.

Why was poch moaning that they have had more time to prepare for the tie....we're 3-0 up ffs. It would take a complete shambles of a performance to fuck this tie up.
It's the principal. He's trying to highlight it for future reference in the hope they do something about it.

I'd like to see all the big clubs come together on this because other countries always help their clubs out.

Completely missed the point. You can agree or disagree who Poch picks or doesn't pick, but whoever is picked should get full support. Poch has picked them for whatever reason, they still should be gotten behind.

All the vitriol for Sissoko prior to his improvement this season should be proof enough that people should think twice, as anyone can turn it round so long as they work their ass off to keep going. Foyth is still very young, especially as a central defender. Sanchez likewise. Still plenty of room to learn and grow. You learn more from mistakes. Those mistakes may cost us, but they'll get better.
