Borussia Dortmund Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[ackie]

C'mon everybody, of course they are better than us at the moment...this is our second string midfield... No DIER, Alli, DEMBELE, Lamela...
We are dong ok. Can be better but we have a young squad.

they are mustard no doubt about it

and as for the critics of Poch's selection - Dembele just back from injury, Alli suspended, Dier has been run into the ground and ditto Kane.

time for the lads on the field to step up - Son has 5 in 5 against BVD

 

[Kirito]

This is the opposite of how I expected to be feeling about this game. Not because we're losing it's more about the lack of ambition we have shown with the team selection.

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

I like how they have the likes of Reus and Auba on the pitch and we've got Kane, Lamela and Dembele being "rested" on the bench. Who the fck do we think we are to go there and get a result like this?

We're prioritizing the villa game. We could play a strong team, still get beat, and then fail to beat villa cos we're knackered. Know which option I'd prefer.

People have a go at carroll but Mason has been worse lol

 

[Blackrat1299]

I think a few of you need to taper off the criticism of our guys, we are playing a side that could give any team in the world a game.

Only because we put out our second team otherwise we could match them.

So disappointed when I see the line up tonight. Been looking forward to it since the draw was made, the best team we will play this season by miles and we field a weakened side.

My only question is this...

Why take it seriously up until this point? Might as well have just fielded the kids right from the start and be done with it

Alright Robbie.

 

[Hoddtastic72]

I reckon we will score before the end

 

[tooey]

Kane for Chadli, Son for Lamela and either CCV or Dembele for Carroll at half for me

3 changes at half time? I don't think a football manager is your calling.

 

[Sarsipius]

What's the point resting are best players like Kane,Dier,? Very very poor from Poch.

I think it's called the Premier League title.

 

[Chris12]

Savage is such a ****. Saying Villa is basically a guaranteed 3 points. What a bellend

 

[Setzthree]

I reckon we will score before the end

and they 10

 

[dickieven]

Fuck off ref. Never a foul

The only "kid" playing tonight is Onomah and he's done well. Son and Chadli have been useless as has the CM 2.

 

[nedley]

Chadli needs to release it and move more often.

 

[Hawk_Spur]

Excluding Wimmer and Toby, it's a little concerning that Onomah is out best player.

Good perspective. Easy to forget.

 

[grahamg88]

It wouldn't be strange had we set up like this all season in Europa but I just find it strange because we've set up with practically a full team in group stage away ties where you really think we don't need to and when we really would need so we put out a weaker team. Just a bit backwards to me.

I think what's happened is Poch has realised that winning the league is an actual possibility or at worst finishing 3rd with automatic champions league qualification which no one really thought in the earlier rounds.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Scary how strong they are.
