Sorry, I can't give Spurs a "decent chance" to beat City right now. 1-0 up going to the Etihad...I mean we know Pep is a fraud away from home in the CL anyway.

Still can't see anything but a City win.

Pls let me teach you math

Let's say prob of City going through is 3/4

And that the prob of City beating Ajax is 3/4 as well

So the prob of City being in the final is 56%

And the prob of Ajax/Spurs being in the final is 44%. Hence 'decent chance'

This is ridiculous, it isn't even close to reality. Their forwards are talented, but dumb as fuck, they wasted a lot of chances. Their pressing is reckless, a good passing team that is organized should bypass them easily. Then, at the back they have De Ligt and a bunch of scrubs.

City would smash them and Spurs won't have a lot of trouble with them either.

I'd probably put City win odds at higher for both but your point is well taken

Magical run Ajax are on at the moment. They play with an exuberance that is often missing from the less fancied sides at this stage. They have absolutely nothing to lose, regardless of what happens in the next round. Just gotta enjoy this.

My favorite player of this bunch? Schöne. Has put in some brilliant shifts in this competition. His set pieces have caused so much havok.

Seeing as we lost to an inferior team (collection of players) I should be fuming, but we have been playing like garbage for 5 months, so my mood is mostly calm. I just call it like I see it. Ajax may have been the easy draw for both Real and Juve, but they were also an easy draw for them.

I think you'd beat Spurs.

Yeah not wrong. I kinda reacted to reactions from different places and lots of them still see us as the easy draw but it's true it's not really a thing here lol

Anyway I don't think City will beat us. Or anyone else. To hell with that jinxing nonsense - we are the best team in the world and we will show it against any team.

Best team in the world is tied with PSVs of the world. I like Ajax always have, especially this season but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Ajax is excellent. They'd have 0 problems with Spurs. With City the problem will be the stylistic matchup as we know how passing teams do against Pep. Anyway they aren't all that open and are very well positioned on the field so they would be great games.

Mazraoui and Tagliafico aren't scrubs. hmm

I'd take them over the current version of Alex Sandro and the two Italian jabronis in your team.

The point was that they are scrubs on defense.

Sandro is great defensively, so nope.

I assume the other two are Spinazzola and De Sciglio. You barely saw the first one and the other one, while trash on offense, is a decent defender.
