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

[Saoirse]

Not good enough so far from Son. Fine margins, but at this level he’s been left wanting tonight.

All our attacks have gone through him. We all know his finishes are inconsistent but he's been comfortably our most likely attacking outlet.

 

[chinaman]

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

We need hot flashes from him.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

You can't just throw him in the biggest game like this. He hasn't played any games and now we want him to just step in against barca.

I’ve honestly never seen the hype that surrounds KWP. He played an incredibly low-key carabao Cup game and got absolutely rinsed by a random West Ham youth player .

 

[Phomesy]

After yet another stupid gift of a goal and a period of cautious okay we completely dominated and should have at least equalised.

But we are vulnerable at the back. KWP and Rose are simply not our first 11 fb's. Maybe go three at the back to counter their deficiencies? Or put Dier RB?

 

[waresy]

We can get something from this. Their backline isn't that great,bit more pressure and we'd be in. A mistake from pressing and our own freekick is the difference and that is it.

I want to be able to walk.passed all these Italian inter fans when I leave with them with their head in their hands.

[samspurs92]

We’re so naive too.

Eriksen should have gone down from that tackle and Son should have gone down when he got clipped.

Vermaelen shouldn’t be on the pitch and he’s not even got a yellow.

 

[Giovanni]

Son with good movement and runs but poor final pass/shot. Shoukd have scored the 1v1!

 

[Sweetsman]

The predictable thing is that when you predict Son will score he won't. We've had our chances.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

People going way overboard on KWP. He’s not been great but who exactly has?

 

[walton]

Will we get a sub before 80 mins??

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Man alive. The kid has only played a handful of games and is our 3rd choice RB. Give him a break.

No, I’m sorry but this is the deciding game in the champions league. Fair enough that Poch gave him the chance but he’s cost us a goal and looks horrendous. He needs to come off now

 

[tooey]

Can somebody explain where the myth that KWP is superior to Trippier or Aurier has come from? Was it the good performance against Newcastle 18 months ago? Number 1 rule when facing up against an attacker...don't square yourself, always make sure you're on the half turn, nope not Kyle, he's being abused out there.

 

[jamesinashby]

We've created chances so all is still to play for.

Thing is if we turn this around, all our players are outbound tomorrow in the press....

Edit: Make that live commentary.

 

[slartibartfast]

We should be able to win this our players just need to get their belief back

And stop fkin falling over would help

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

No one else going to react to @chinaman's excellent spot that PSV have gone 0-2 up?

Wat?

 

[JCRD]

You can't just throw him in the biggest game like this. He hasn't played any games and now we want him to just step in against barca.

Poch put Foyth against Arse and put KWP against Barca - Im all for giving young players a chance but play them against Southampton or even Leicester - not Arse and Barca away

I think KWP has been ok since the yellow card but it is clear theyre targeting our right side

 

[nedley]

I think we've been quite poor and really could be doing so much better.

Eriksens set pieces have been awful. Son's touch gash and every fucker seems to be wearing plimsoles. I've got no problem with getting played off the park or even losing against quality.

But what I cant stand is schoolboy mistakes. This is the CL and we are not newbies.

Wise up for fucks sake.

 

[Sevens]

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.

That would be a terrible sub IMO. We need a defensive midfielder in there. One of the reasons we are struggling is because Winks is not a defensive midfielder. He doesn't have the positioning or tackling prowess.

 

[ClintEastwould]

Got in at 25 mins

From that time frame we’ve been decent and Barca have been flaccid. The problem is that they can go up like two extra gears while that is almost full strength for us.

I have no clue what, but Poch has to whip out a tactical master class put his arse in the second half.
