for Spurs, five out of six wins, and the only set-back was the defeat to United, and let`s be fair Spurs should have won that game by a countrymile. Now entering the time of season when titles are won or lost, next half a dozen games will be pivotal, games against Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. Come through those games with a decent points tally, and who knows, the last half a dozen games could make an absolutely belting end to the season, hopefully in the new stadium for the last four or five games.
The CL is a bit of a bonus, and if Spurs do progress to the last eight, they will be alongside some serious clubs, so will not be easy, PSG, Barca, Real, Bayern, City, Roma, Juventus all expected to progress alongside Spurs, what a line up that would be, just about the best eight teams in Europe all going head to head. Going to be some mouth-watering ties there. Cannot wait. Although Spurs still have the second leg, they should see the tie through.
Season warming up nicely now.
A really decent Prem start to 2019

Why are Bayern EXPECTED to progress? Most unbiased football fans would see a fairly balanced tie that could go either way, no? Didn’t Spurs just smash Dortmund, the Bundesliga leaders, yet the Prem leaders can’t do the same to Bayern?
Other than that, good article
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bayern are a very experienced European outfit, and Liverpool have lost their last five away ties in Europe, yes they got to the final last year, but they had a very easy run to the final. Bayern over the two legs will be to strong. Spurs beating Dortmund will have no bearing on the outcome of the Liverpool v Bayern tie.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah very easy run. Man City the favourites, Roma who put out Barcelona and then Real in the final. It doesn't get much harder than that.

Like Man City who have next to no European Pedigree, and Roma even worse, there last and only European trophy was nearly 60 years back, then finally losing very easily to a side Spurs beat and drew with. Absolutely nothing hard at all about Liverpool`s run last season.

Yeah Man City are woeful and a lucky draw. Also we should have played the better team in Barcelona rather than Roma, no idea why UEFA let Roma play instead.

So no chance for Liverpool then? Whilst I agree the matches do not depend on each other I’d say it’s a reflection of their respective leagues. When you comment on Liverpool’s easy run to the final, is this from a position of experience... when was Spurs last easy run to a European final? In fact, ANY run to a European final? Oh... ok
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spurs have been in plenty of European finals in my lifetime, so no need trying to point score. I didn`t say Liverpool had no chance, I merely said I thought Bayern would come out on top over the tie.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Once again ( yawn ) they are making this all about Liverpool. They are not the only team in th CL and I too think Bayern will go through.

Thinking they will go through and saying they're expected to go through whilst second in a weaker league than the team first in a stronger one are two different things.

It`s cup football, Spurs won and drew with the eventual winners, so in theory Spurs were probably the best team in the competition.
