Match Threads Spurs vs Bayern Munich - Match Thread

[olliec]

Yes but they did it.Away from home and with clinical finishing. Gnabry cant be that bad can he?
Son can get hot and cold,there is no guarantee with him. Not sure what Gnabry is about but here was a big game and he looked fantastic.
Lewandowski was a killer as well. That brilliant goal he scored he knew exactly what to do. Son needed to be as on as they were,he wasn't,thats the game right there

Even the first goal they scored with Kimmich a RB was freakishly clinical. I’ve not
Seen a team that clinical for a long time. Not even Barcelona or Real Madrid in their prime. It was just odd.

I think Dele really is a washed out version of what he once was. Here was an opportunity to really shine and they gave him space.He did nothing with it

To be fair he made some good runs in behind and got on the end of a few. He just needs to get back to match fitness. He’s had a lot of injuries of late.

Yes It was odd and that goal was great too but they always looked confortable no matter what.Their manager is cool,relaxed. He brings that to the players. Poch is always a bit more tense.He brings that to the players. Maybe it was just to do with that

We always find excuses for some of our players. Im not sure about that. dele to me seems he has lost his edge. His hunger. He seems happy to be in the elite without earning his keep. Yes we are always known for flicks and all that fluff.We need substance. We are not getting enough from some players. Dele is one of them. If he isnt 100% fit why is Poch playing him in this game?
Dele was in front of Kane a lot but his attacks on goal had no weight.

Because to get him back to his best he needs to be put into this type of environment. Maybe he’s not ready but I think we need to give him a bit more time before we judge him to be honest. He’s had what maybe 2 or 3 matches since coming back from injury?

Yes they took their chances or half chances even. But 9 times out of 10 not even half of those chances go in. It was a bit of a freak game to be honest. Since when is Gnabry a goal scorer that can finish like that? It’s a one off for him.

The fact that this sort of excuse making has begun already fills me with dread.

Yes he was injured I get that.He looks to be running fine. How about passing or shooting? We know he has talent and for me that's the problem. Use it in clever ways but he isn't. (Im thinking what VDV might have done in this situation) Im not blaming him for this loss as much as Poch leaving Winks by himself (I prefer Dier there anyway) or Son not being as sharp as they were (Son is a bit of an enigma,he can do some great things occasionally and then he shows no control of the ball)

 

[Time for Heroes]

Yeah it was a freak game for sure. And the Colchester result was a freak one for sure.

Infact all of our away games since January have been freakish results....

 

[Ronwol196061]

Last season in the CL we were terrible for the most part and freakishly goals went in at the end not even great shots like Bayerns freakish goals.

Stubborn and unyielding in this rigid diamond, it'll be his undoing.

 

[JR1994]

prove to me I'm wrong instead of calling me names. He DESERVES better? Why? Why should he be immune from criticism when he's been subpar for over a year. I'm sorry but he is just as to blame for our form as anyone else.

If that meakes me a .... then so be it.

If you deem sub par scoring 11 in 11 this season and 22 in 37 CL/PL last season then each to there own

 

[Stamford]

We cannot manage a game. Most obvious example yesterday was Bayern basically refereeing the game themselves with no fightback from us

Dele used to be a footballer. Now he is more concerned about his fucking boohoo clothing range, playing fortnite, doing stupid things with his hands and being snapped looking cool on a yacht with his model girlfriend.

 

[Ronwol196061]

If you want to be relatively happy if you haven't watched the game,just watch the first half twice,ok we will lose 4-2 but at least you will enjoy it (I think)

 

[philll]

Even the CL run wasn't good football for the most part. During the commentary against Olympiacos they said that, during last season's campaign, we were only ever in the lead (in ALL of the matches) for a total of 113 minutes or something ridiculous.

This is such a shit and unconstructive take.

Germans haven't been so clinical hitting targets since the blitz

And I bet that most of the players slept quite easily last night, while most of us didn't (me anyway). They will be back on social media today with the usual nonsense about how they are in it together and we pick ourselves up etc etc. TBH, its all a bunch on nonsense. The rot is there for all to see and Poch has lost the respect of enough of them to cause a problem. I am one of Pochs biggest supporters, but enough is enough. He has to take a long hard look at himself, along with the players and either sort this shit out sharpish, or move on.
At the end of the day, it's the fans who suffer the most

I agree with that but what about Levy’s role in all this mess

Does Poch carry the can for everything as he’s rolled out as the spokesman on his fat contract

What about Levy and the 2 non existent transfer windows etc etc. Always 1 common denominator in every one of our turmoils and that’s Danny Boy year after year....
