Benfica Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[EnfieldYiddo]

Only thing I'm potentially forward to is if Sherwood gave Onomah some playing time

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Tim wont play a weakened side guys, what, you think we're gonna rest players for our challenge for top 4? . I'd be shocked if Ade didn't start.

I'd be flabbergasted if he did start, given he was left in London

Didn't know that, what a joke, I know we are going out, but I'd atleast like us to give it a go, as we have nothing else to play for.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

I saw it on oddschecker listed at Corals and somewhere else that I can't recall, Coral is now 6/10 so wether 4/6 is still available anywhere I don't know.

Still free money.

He's injured apparently, he's not looked 100% fit for our last few games in any case.

I don't get people (not aimed specifically at you H&W) who are moaning about the squad we have taken out there. Lloris is the only one who could have gone. The rest are injured/suspended, what could he have done?

Good morning from Lisbon! We've a couple of updates to our advice for fans who have travelled out here for our match against Benfica.

Tottenham Hotspur ‏@SpursOfficial 3m
First of all, gates at the stadium will now open at 4.30pm and not 4pm, as we were originally advised.

Tottenham Hotspur ‏@SpursOfficial 38s
For fans travelling by Metro to the stadium, please go to Colegio Militar - this is the nearest stop to Gate 23, the away fans' entrance.

 

[Mr Pink]

Easier to win this than to finish 4th.

Not with our injury situation on top of being 3-1 down and away.

My opinion though.

Ade has a hamstring pull and a gashed heel. Tim sounds a bit worried about him for the next few games.

Tim says he does not wan to play any youngsters unless he has to.

Not the right situation in which to blood them; worried about damaging their confidence. Perhaps he should have taken some of the lads we are planing to let go, like Stewart or Dombaxe - nothing for them to lose!

Not any more...

Not really fancying our chances this evening. So, I/we may as well try and win something!!

Christ their must be a lot of Spurs fans working for Paddy Power these days.

So, here's the squad.

Pick an XI and the nearest to Tim's wins a club Gilet.*

Friedel, Archer, McGee, Naughton, A McQueen, Fryers, Rose, Ball, Ogilvie, Sandro, Chadli, Veljkovic, Eriksen, Winks, Sigurdsson, Bentaleb, Onomah, Lennon, Townsend, Kane, Soldado.


*they don't.

Just ask Tim for a smoke and peek at his fag packet..

 

[Sir Henry]

It's a huge ask from the players to get anything from this game. Qualification is out of the question but it would be really nice to win the game. I'd be happy to win 1-0.

 

[WiganSpur]

It'll be great to see how Veljkovic and Fryers get on. I think they might surprise one or two.

I'd give Onomah a go alongside Bentaleb as well.

Brad
Naughton Veljkovic Fryers Rose
Sandro
Bentaleb Omomah
Chadli--------------Eriksen
Soldado​

The only bit of hope I have is the thought of Inter Milan. Remember we beat them 3-0 at the lane in the 1st leg and 2nd leg they still managed to get it back so it went extra time. I know this is different as our side are shit and were playing away but miracles do happen if there's any hope left in this dreadful season then it's the Europa cup ( even if very small hope)
