Benfica Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[JamieDaCosta]

The lads look bang up for this, especially rose. In the zone bruv.

I didn't know we brought Kasey Keller back out of retirement? Since when????

 

[dondo]

If this goes really wrong tonight do we think Timbo might be out on his ear?

Interim for the interim

 

[Spurger King]

Siggy and Lennon to compete for most ineffectual player of the match. I remember the last time Siggy played in central midfield. It was in our 1-0 home defeat to Fulham last season. I know it's hard to believe, but he was absolutely useless in that game.

 

[tototoner]

What is the point of Eriksen being on the bench seriously.

Was either him or sigurdsson, and it's a nothing game so why risk the better player

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Our proverbial cheeks are spread and the lube is at the ready

Let the arse ****** commence!!!

We don't need lube with such squeaky bums.

 

[felmani26]

Look, I know defensively we are always going to be tested but why compound matters and place a chocolate teapot midfield to protect it?!

Honestly, it's fucking shambolic that lineup and how degrading for Eriksen, our best player available on the subs bench next to youngsters!

We could have lined up like this;

Friedel

Naughton Veljkovic Fryers Rose

Sandro Bentaleb

Lennon Eriksen Chadli

Soldado

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Harry Winks hahahahaha thats got to be a wind up

Rather see Siggy dropped for him and see what the hype is surrounding him in what's become a dead rubber after seeing the line-up.

 

[King of Otters]

Obviously Eriksen should be playing. Don't know whether he's unfit or Tim's just being a dick again, probably the latter.

Anyway, COYS.

 

[thinktank]

This match is going to be a train wreck.

I'm ready. All emotions disengaged.

but then why risk Sandro at CB, when we have a young CB on the bench... its a strange on.

 

[don1]

looks like i will be like a dog again come full time

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Harry Winks hahahahaha thats got to be a wind up

There's gotta be a wink... er... link...

 

[beats1]

So he presumably rests Christian Eriksen, then fields a piss poor team with all of our fit wingers?!

That team has no balance to it, offers no protection whatsoever to our botch job defence, and friedel starts against a team that split our high line open time after time last week.

Tim Sherwood, somehow he manages to outdo himself every week without fail.

He truly is as thick as shit.

I see the team and what Im angry about is lennon is playing and Eriksen on the bench, this season have been full of crazy decisions

 

[LSUY]

Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend want Tim Sherwood to remain as Tottenham manager. As do Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd, Everton and Man City fans.

 

[chinaman]

We'll lose this anyway so I'd start all the young ones and at least create a record of fielding the most debutantes in an European match. That would be a record for some time.

 

[Macspur261]

Can't say I like the looks of that team, could be bad tonight, gulp

 

[Spurger King]

Was either him or sigurdsson, and it's a nothing game so why risk the better player

But what are we saving him for? Our fight for 7th place? Our season is essentially over, and this match represents our last, slim, chance of rescuing it. Might as well go for it.

 

[thinktank]

Shut up townsend you prat.

Gonna find a non-english stream....

 

[Jrmpinto]

Do you think he'll cause us problems?

He's a very good player but sometimes he plays like a turtle...slowwww

 

[beats1]

Was either him or sigurdsson, and it's a nothing game so why risk the better player

WTF nothing game. Its our life line to keep the season alive

Our best chance of making CL is through FFP
