Match Threads Barcelona v Spurs - Match Thread (CL Round 6)

[Sevens]

Long ball to Son IS NOT WORKING!

Son's getting into all the right positions but generally his final ball or shot has been so poor.

 

[paulcumpstone]

winks was the wrong side of him then, made it far to easy, need to learn not everyone wants to turn backwards like the spurs midfield

 

[spursfan77]

What’s worse, kwp’s mistake or Son’s miss 1 on 1?
Son should have scored.

 

[Garbob]

Would like to see Lamela on early 2nd half.

Agree but not sure who we take off

Long ball to Son IS NOT WORKING!

The long ball never does, until it does. It’s the nature of the tactic.

 

[glacierSpurs]

A poor Barca team and we still couldn't make them pay.

 

[Thewobbler]

Not a bad half, need to take these chances

 

[L-man]

45 mins from qualification. Would have taken that before the game

 

[Gareth88]

What’s worse, kwp’s mistake or Son’s miss 1 on 1?
Son should have scored.

Kwp mistake

 

[Gassin's finest]

Bleh... we've been playing some really nice football, but it's the finer details that count at this level.

 

[spursrayray]

KWP is getting twisted left & right out there
Coutinho looks so dangerous

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Simples. We have to match Inter in the 2nd half. I am confident they will score, so we must as well.

 

[TheRevolution]

I know he won't do it but we really need Lamela on for Winks to get a bit more quality and fight into our team. They have unbelievable players on their bench so we really have a short amount of time to get back into this before they come on in the second half.

 

[The Apprentice]

We’ve got options and might only need one goal.

I believe.

 

[ikky]

Got no excuses, Barcelona have given us every chance by putting out a team like that.

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

Big game shoot ourselves in foot, never seen that before

 

[SpursD22]

We can’t rely on PSV result, we need to go all out in the second half and go for the win
Lamela has to come on

And please change your boots

 

[Matrix]

We haven’t been as bad as people have been saying. Sissoko has shown real good flashes and we have had good chances.

 

[Rocksuperstar]

Since the rickety start, KWP hasn't been bad at all, I think Winks is really affecting our setup though. Him being off form, off pace, getting pulled out of position and looking a bit rabbit-dans-le-'eadlights, a switch for Dier - a guy who oozes confidence - might sure up the back line a bit, knowing they have him ploughing the pitch in front of them.

 

[Johnny J]

For such a depleted side we've not done badly. Created some great chances, only to be fucked by the ref and the grass, of all things, smh.

Son should either have gone down or round the keeper. He opened up his body about half an hour before he shot.
