That's what it's all about folks, mark my words, "look at our club, we don't break rules (that haven't even been disclosed) we do the right thing!"
It feels crap TBH, We did deserve to go threw, I watched the game. We totally outplayed Spurs and we should have beaten them comfortably. It might sound stupid, but our players would have learned more from a total loss, than a win. The fact that we lost and now we've "won" and are "through" just seems really weird and If I feel that, I think the players will also.
"Just hope we don't get taken apart by Barca or Ajax"
What if it's us, taking them apart? We have fantastic u19's and one of the best youth setups in Europe. Guardiola has even complimented how good our youth set up is now. Of course, It doesn't need him to tell us that, we know it ourselves.
Our youth team was crap for years, to say the least. At the moment, some of those players are the best in the country for their age, I'd go as far to say that at the moment, we have the best academy in England. We've overtook Arsenal, it's all about giving these a players a chance in the first team now.
I watch these reserve, youth team, next-gen games and I get really excited watching them. They play without manager restrictions. They are free to express. I get the same buzz out of watching them play now, as with the first team.
If 6 or 7 players who are currently playing in this next-gen series, DON'T make it to our first team, I'd be very very disappointed! They are really that good and that is incredible when you think of it.
I fancy us to beat Barca or Ajax as long as the players heads are right and can come to terms with being out of the competition....and now back in it.
