Plenty of moaners on here tonight! LOL!
It's an open game - we're having chances - they've put theirs away - long way to go. Enjoy it - we're not playing badly - a little sheepish at the back - but Son (should have played at Ar$e) getting involved, front four look livelier than Saturday. Winks looking fitter. All good. ;-)

I see our wishful thinking? next left sided player Sessegnon has scored twice.

Too slow, ponderous and predictable.

Dortmund look a little nervous. Feel like if we score they'll crumble

Our set pieces are laughably bad.

uninspiring and irresolute. Lacking energy and flair

And it's been like that since the Real game. Clearly they weren't mentally prepared to beat Real Madrid.

I have no idea what Poch's tactics are tonight, just as I didn't against Arsenal. But like you, assuming we are not ceding possession and territory then we need to be pressing much more cohesively and diligently. Dier won't improve that, he doesn't like to press higher up because he's turned too easily, he prefers dropping off and the game in front of him.

I know you not a big Dier fan but I agree I'm not sure what Poch is doing, it's like the weekend all over again. I just feel someone sheilding the back line would at least stop them cutting through us, I like Winks but that's certainly not his role.

I feel like we're restraining ourselves with the pressing

Started off a bit timidly, and in midfield without the ball we've been badly badly overrun which was partly why the goal happened (though lets give them credit, it was a slick move). It's been a decent enough response to going behind, but still don't look like we're firing on all cylinders.

Open half. Would love to see Son get some more game time next few weeks. Can be frustrating but we don’t have anyone with that direct pace and threat high up the pitch when he is not playing especially as our starting Fullbacks are much slower these days. Good noise from the Spurs fans

He's so out of form its unreal. Time for Poch to bench him.

I'm finding his contributions very irritating, not holding the ball and falling over. The refs are giving him nothing. I wonder who you would bring on instead.
