Tottenham vs Dortmund: CL Edition Match Thread

[mark87]

Can't wait to get to Wembley for tonight's game, I'm so hoping for a pumped atmosphere. COYS!

 

[Romulus]

got a feeling Kane is gonna want to show Europe what he's all about, if they didn't know already.

This is such a massive game, I feel that if we win this we'll get past the mental barrier that is Wembley and we"ll start putting team to the sword for the rest of the season.

This rag (quotes The Times) seem to think that Trips will start at RB tonight, Aurier on the bench.

They are just guessing. I'd be surprised (and very disappointed) if Aurier doesn't start in place of Trippier

Given that he's only been training with the side for 3 days, and didn't come off the bench on Saturday, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if he didn't start tonight, but I'd sure be disappointed. Can't wait to see him play.

I'm leaving work at 3 then straight to Wembley, COYS

Will be watching this tonight in a bar on the very nice island of santorini with a few Germans about and so should be fun, I actually do fancy us to win as it's about fucking time.

Anyone else want Lloris to thump every back pass down the ground instead of "picking a pass"???

There is a time and a place and at Wembley v Dortmund in the CL is neither.

 

[Streetspur77]

I've got a good feeling about this, we're overdue an amazing European night

3-1

COYS

 

[Japhet]

Feel a lot more confident with Sanchez presumably starting. Aubameyang is such a dangerous player and although Sanchez hasn't really done anything of note for us yet, just having his pace at the back calms the nerves. Want to see Aurier too but don't have any idea if he's match fit. If not, I'd like to see Trippier and Llorente on the same pitch at some point. They could be a lethal combination.

 

[Bobbins]

Any idea if we sold out?

 

[Hengy1]

Any idea if we sold out?

We aren't

 

[neilp]

We aren't

I'm surprised at that, what Spurs fan wouldn't want to be at Wembley for a champions league game like this. Surely this is what we have striving for all along?

Reckon we'll sell out vs Real Madrid, we'll get a lot more casual fans come for that.

 

[SEANSPURS1975]

Absolutely massive game. Looking at our team we have real quality all over the pitch. Player for player we are better than Dortmund.
If we play to our ability we'll get a good result tonight.
Feeling confident. COYS...

I'm not going because it's a pain to get to and from Wembley for a night game

 

[eViL]

Really up for this game, a good opportunity to smash the hoodoo out of the park and get off to a decent start in the champions league.

Somewhat concerning that Dortmund haven't conceded a goal yet in the league...

Everton hadn't conceded any at home either.

 

[adamsky]

Properly excited for tonight, can't wait to get there. Has the feeling like it could be a memorable European night. Let's put this Wembley BS to bed.

 

[Lilbaz]

Any of our irish posters know if it's on one of the channels in ireland? Over seeing my cousin and she doesn't do sport. The local pub said if it was on they'd put it on but don't think he gives a shit either way.

Usually I would sigh, and bemoan the idea that kicking it long equates to any bettter outcomes, than keeping the ball, and playing out from the back.

However tonight Dortmund will try to press us at the back and going more direct may be a smart move.
