Match Threads Borussia Dortmund vs Spurs - Match Thread (2nd leg)

[Oscar22]

Half the job done. Think we’ve looked good and strong to be honest.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Sissoko player of the year

Imagine if you'd said that at the start of the season! A simple change of position and he's been a monster.

 

[ardiles]

Over in Spain , it’s half time now too. Still 2-0 to Ajax

 

[Rocksuperstar]

well, that was fun

Right, warm-up's over, lets get on with it now.

 

[George94]

We've been much better without the ball than we've been with it, minus last 5 minutes.

Defending brilliantly so far, come on lads.

 

[cjbyid]

Half way there.

Eriksen is driving me nuts again tonight

 

[Mattspurs1982]

This isnt exactly inspiring. Not going to get much further in this comp playing like this. Being absolutely bossed.

 

[JayB]

Don't care about the pattern of play, job done so far. Dortmund exhibited a huge amount of energy in that first half, it will only get harder and harder for them to claw back into the tie as the clock ticks down. Need to make sure not to concede early in the second half and take the wind out of their sails.

 

[mark87]

So far so good, just need to come back out and stay switched on.

 

[Phomesy]

If we were an Italian side that half would be praised as an absolute masterclass.

We aren't an Italian side so I'd prefer us to keep more of the ball in mid-field but the fact is we should have a penalty and they should be down to 10 men.

Job done so far. Well done lads.

 

[Grey Fox]

and breathe...………………………………………………………… a little

 

[ghjk_91]

We are 3 nil up in a CL knockout game so I'm going to say no.

Well I meant in the pattern of the game and only having 30% possession. It just feels weird being the side sitting back and defending. So rare at Spurs these days!

 

[hughy]

I have no words to describe how good Sissoko has been.

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

Eriksen Dortmunds best player, killed any forward play we had

 

[StevePil]

well done lads, got to HT. that was hard work

we know how it feels now to rival fans when we batter a team with possession and they hang on in there...
COYS

 

[ardiles]

Now to have a second half similar to the one in the first leg.

 

[Spurus]

Our defence is on beast mode, Eriksen off for Lucas if he doesn't improve second half.

 

[daryl hannah]

This is like Rocky 4: "HE'S LIKE A PIECE OF IRON...."

Fancy us for the 4th.

 

[Spursh]

Half way there.

Eriksen is driving me nuts again tonight

I think he’s been ok. He’s the only one attempting to find a forward pass. Still can’t take a corner though

 

[kaz Hirai]

The back 5 and Hugo all been magnificent really.

Going to a 5-4-1 was smart from Poch.
