Match Threads Bayern Munich vs Spurs - Match Thread

Bit disappointed Skipp didn’t start.

I wonder which Bayern player Foyth is contracted to assassinate tonight?

Its official. I'm a twat. For 2 fkin seasons I've been watching BT Sport on my laptop and phone using my Dads account. On the rare occassion I plug hdmi lead into tv from laptop and watch it on there.
Downloaded Amazon Prime app onto xbox last week and few days ago the idea popped into my old and obviously decaying brain 'wonder if I can download BT Sport app' Fkin dumbass. 2 years of piss balling about for no reason.
Just take me out the back and put me out my misery. I'm past it and not even 50 yet

Thanks for this! I've been a twat too - there is BT TV app for the firestick but not for Sport - didn't think to look at Xbox.

2-6, parott double hat - trick.

I dont get why we are starting with Eriksen if he has told Jose he is leaving

 

[yiddopaul]

It’s not so much that we’re playing the kids it is more that Bayern somewhat unexpectedly went almost full strength.

Mwahaha, they're scared of our kids! In case people get all "that's ridiculous" - it was a joke (Not a very good one, granted)

Another reminder, for anyone either on EE or who has their broadband through BT - you have BT Sport available for free.

BT customers, head over to sport.bt.com and login using your normal BT login.

EE customers, install the BT Sport app and it's almost certainly part of your deal.

Have to try and get money for him in January

Livid our best defender is being played again. He'll be 31 soon, gotto save him for the Prem and CL knockouts, can't keep playing him every 3-4 days over a long season ? Sanchez would have been perfect for this one! Or even better - why not give Tanganga a try? Livid Sissoko is not being rested either! Wanyama or Skipp anyone, hello? And why is Parrott not starting instead of Moura...

sigh...

 

[SonicSarr]

It's a non game. Zero riding on it. Bayern won't be coming at us like they're possessed, won't want the injuries. I doubt we're going to get a hiding. People have been crying out for them to start, now we're throwing them under the bus.

Play them in a decent team. That's neither one thing nor the other. No number 9, Dier and Sissoko behind them and Eriksen. Give them a chance to get some meaningful minutes and confidence. This could do the opposite.

I guess because Eriksen is not a starter for league games.

This is essentially a mid season preseason game with nothing on the line against a very good team. It is the ultimate training exercise as the players are generally in good condition but there are no consequences to any kind of result. It's valuable especially for our defense who probably need more conceptual training on the new system that Jose is trying to install more than confidence at this point. I'm a bit disappointed we didn't go a bit stronger in defense for the first half with a concentration of younger players on offense to start. And then bring on the defensive youth in the second half. But I defer to Jose....

 

[WiganSpur]

To be fair, can sort of understand this tentative lineup. Last thing a team of kids need is a 6/7 nil gubbing. Different story than if it was a pub team like Apoel a couple of years ago.

This - shop window in the biggest mall in Europe.

 

[JCRD]

Look at the fear in Bayerns eyes

 

[Giovanni]

Because Mourinho doesn't want us to get completely dicked.

Parrott will come on.

 

[Grapo2001]

Camera panning over the squad with their warm up jackets zipped right up.... You just knew dier would have his zipped down slightly. What a guy.

 

[tooey]

Might be a bloodbath, might be pleasantly surprised. Either way, we might not have CL nights next season so I'm going to just sit back and enjoy!

The main thing is that we need to rotate to the greatest extent possible for this match. There's also the fact Eriksen has been halfway decent in his last couple of performances, and if he's able to recapture any semblance of form we only stand to benefit either from the contributions he could potentially make until his contract runs out in the summer, or by ginning up interest in him in January.
