I'm optimistically disagreeing with you there. Poch's attitude is 'if you're fit enough and not injured, you can run for 90 minutes' - hence his notorious training schedules.That's the whole problem. Sure, we can put in a big effort Thursday and press hard and fight and maybe get through. They are a good team though and it's no guarantee that we do get through. More importantly, it will mean our players are not fresh for Chelsea in the cup final at the weekend, especially considering they have extra days of rest. It is now almost impossible to advance in Europe and win the cup.
I'm an eternal Spurs optimist admittedly, but I'm banking on the conditioning of our players making the fixture congestion bearable. I'm not necessarily saying we're fated to win everything of course, but I think we'll perform no matter what.
COYS.
