Source: Football Social Daily — Midweek European Madness Review: No Wins For English Sides in Champions League and Tudor Embarrasses Kinsky at Spurs
Duration: 47 min
Tottenham Hotspur manager/tactics
Igor Tudor made headlines by hooking Antonin Kinski after 17 minutes of Spurs's debacle at the Metropolitano. They were 3-0 down to Atletico Madrid within 15 minutes.
Tottenham Hotspur manager sacking
To appoint him [Igor Tudor] was just a wild, wild, wild risk. It was almost like the Tottenham board wanted his character as this kind of fierce no-nonsense manager, but I think when your chips are down and your players have got zero confidence, that's almost putting the dagger in the heart even further.
Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper selection
When I saw the clips of the goalkeeper make that mistake... why would you even take out Vicario anyway? If you go into a club like Atletico Madrid in such a high stakes game, surely you want to put your deer in headlights?
Tactical analysis
I thought the selection of the 11 from Pep Guardiola was absolutely bizarre. You've essentially gone with three wingers and a striker and Bernardo Silva who's not really a defensive minded player. It's almost like a 4-1-3-2 which seems far too attacking for away at the Bernabeu.
English clubs in Europe
I'm happy that we're out of it [Europe] for this season because we would never have done anything in this campaign given what the English teams put on offer for us last night. We would have been absolutely spanked.
Real Madrid vs Man City
Federico Valverde, who for me is one of the best players in the world. He's an unsung hero in that Real Madrid team... he's coming of age in that team, he's the captain last night and he's really raising his performances.
Real Madrid Champions League mentality
It's an obsession for Real Madrid to win the Champions League. It is everything. When they start to play under those lights on a Wednesday or Tuesday night, their heritage genuinely plays for itself.
PSG goalkeeper performance
The one thing that I think might be the difference between PSG winning the Champions League again is the goalkeeper. That goalkeeper is terrible. He's like someone out of Soccer Aid in the second half when they put the celebrity goalkeepers on.
Controversial refereeing/match incidents
Pedro Neto fighting a ball boy who wouldn't give the ball back... the fact that ball boys now don't give the ball back to away opposition, I thought there was absolutely nothing wrong with what he did. Shove him over if he's not doing his job.
England squad selection
If Lewis Hall doesn't start for England at the World Cup, I will be very, very surprised.
