Fair point. Well, despite last weeks results in Spain, these are the nights we have dreamed of and it doesn't get much bigger than entertaining Madrid at WHL. Harry says he will attack and give it a go, and so the only way Spurs can get a foothold in this game is to come out of the blocks fast in the hope of snatching an early goal, then hoping it unsettles the Spaniards. However, such a plan has its drawbacks as it will allow Madrid to counter and that is where they can be very dangerous if they are given too much space in which they can deploy their unmistakably fantastic skills. If Spurs are going to push hard, they must not leave any space in midfield, so I see the wingers and Modric pushing up with the strike-force and Huddlestone with our defence line move up as well. If an attack is broken down and our midfield isn't there to clear or attack a loose ball, Madrid will exploit the opportunity and have Spurs running backwards. All in all though, lets hope Spurs give a good account of themselves for British football and provide a boost for the remaining Premiership games inorder to grab a CL berth for next season.
