Match Threads Spurs vs Borussia Dortmund - Match Thread

Poor Harry... has he ever had a shot on target from around the box?

Hit the bar against Inter. So no.

Sancho, Sancho, Sancho, Sancho, Sancho, Sancho.................
Fuck me there are 21 other players on the pitch to talk about

Dry your eyes, he's playing superbly, is young and British. What do you expect?

 

[thinktank]

dont like this set up at all

It sucks donkey cock.

But we're doing better with it than I thought we would tbh.

 

[nedley]

Vertonghen has hardly had the ball.

 

[Johnny J]

sanchez clumsy atm with his timing of tackles, sissoko thought that was a foul too

Sanchez is like Janssen, gets a bit too involved in the physical stuff.

 

[JayB]

Sissoko could have been booked twice now. The ref is utter gash full stop, not just in Dortmund's favour.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Not to impressed with our tackling. We are driving in all over the place.

 

[thebenjamin]

Lucass's passing is so poor. Selection and execution.

 

[nedley]

Didn't like the set up and still don't.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Lucas positioning is a problem. He's not contributing to the shape at all. With Kane around, Lucas's eating into his space. Now he's just drifting everywhere.

 

[The Apprentice]

I’d be surprised if Sancho wasn’t awarded the ballon d’or after this half.

 

[ajspurs]

Overly cautious from poch.

He wants to try and cancel out their attacking game and nick a couple goals.

But this shape brings the least creativity out of us, so that's might be tricky.

In a way, if you really think about it, we're kinda just waiting for them to score before we change it and go more attacking.

Naturally, I hope this does go according to poch's plan.

Yep. When it's like this I feel like we're wasting a half away, nothing is happening. I can understand a cautious approach, but you have to offer more than just long balls from the centre backs.

I don't actually think Dortmund have looked that great to be honest. A couple of dangerous breaks but I thought there would have been more from the team of the top of the German league. Unfortunately when set out like this we can't really take out game to our opposition as we normally could, it's all a bit reserved.

 

[KingKay]

Is Jadon Sancho playing? Not heard him mentioned.

 

[Mattspurs1982]

Aurier really is a bit poo

 

[Mr Pink]

Llorente for Lucas, need more of a target to hit and play off.

 

[DFF]

This is them with half their team missing. Miles off them.

 

[tobi]

Lucas is really frustrating me.

He should find confidence doing simple tasks like playing on the right wing.

I can't remember him ever playing there for us.

 

[Bulletspur]

At least Lucas is getting himself involved, what the fuck is Eriksen doing?

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Theres been a couple of times i'm glad we have a shite ref on the pitch.....

 

[Oscar22]

Can’t imagine Auriers passing stats are too great for this first half.
