BBC Live Text
20:28 GOAL - Basel 0-1 Tottenham (Agg 2-3) - Clint Dempsey
How can Spurs find a way through? With a massive cock-up in the Basel defence, that's how. Jan Vertonghen slides a through-ball forwards but it should be easy for centre-half Aleksandar Dragovic to deal with. Instead, he goes to ground on the greasy surface and makes a real hash of it. Clint Dempsey nips in to skip away from goalkeeper Yann Sommer and rolls in his first European goal for Spurs.
20:32 GOAL- Basel 1-1 Tottenham (Agg 3-3) - Mohamed Salah (27 mins)
Spurs' lead does not last long at all as Basel counter brilliantly, freeing Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah in the right-hand channel and after a heavy first touch, he goes for a good old fashioned toe-poke with his left foot, finding the bottom corner.
Basel back in business on away goals.
HALF-TIME - Basel 1-1 Tottenham (Agg 3-3)
21:11 GOAL - Basel 2-1 Tottenham (Agg 4-3) - Aleksandar Dragovic (49 mins)
Villain to potential hero? Basel defender Aleksandar Dragovic, who gifted Spurs their opener, slams in from close range after Brad Friedel can only parry Fabian Schar's header right into his path. Spurs in trouble.
A goal for Spurs would see us heading for extra time.
21:21 SUBSTITUTION - Basel 2-1 Tottenham (Agg 4-3)
Cometh the hour, cometh the child. Tottenham send on fresh-faced midfielder Thomas Carroll, and he replaces Mousa Dembele, who has not had the best game of his Spurs career.
21:40 SUBSTITUTION - Basel 2-1 Tottenham (Agg 4-3)
Andre Villas-Boas does make another change as Tom Huddlestone comes on in place of Scott Parker. Benoit Assou-Ekotto then replaces Kyle Naughton.
21:45 GOAL- Basel 2-2 Tottenham (Agg 4-4) - Clint Dempsey
That'll do it! That'll do. Spurs do get the big men up there as they launch a free-kick long, but it's Clint Dempsey who brings the ball down on his chest and fires in a left-footed shot. Keeper Yann Sommer should do better though, getting a hand to his shot but not keeping it out.
AS it stands now it will be extra-time.
21:53 RED CARD FOR SPURS - Basel 2-2 Tottenham (Agg 4-4) - Jan Vertonghen
Tottenham are down to 10 men which could yet prove costly. Jan Vertonghen chops down Marco Streller as the Basel captain ran in on goal. Clear red card.
EXTRA TIME - Basel 2-2 Tottenham (Agg 4-4)
PENALTY SHOOT-OUT - Basel 2-2 Tottenham (Agg 4-4)
Basel win on penalties

Off To Basel...

Shaq training

[EnfieldYiddo]

He looks about 35 with a stressful 9-5 and 7 kids

 

[Mikegold]

So is Shaq on the bench? Do we know that or do extra's normally travel? I'm just wondering why Cebellos was on the bench and not Shaq?

im guessing we have taken extra or we will have 3 youngsters on the bench

@hirstclass: Milo Veljković, Shaquile Coulthirst and Cristian Ceballos have all travelled with the #Spurs squad.

Life has been quite tough recently.

2. One is always spare. So it must be Coultihirst and Ceballos on the bench.

Looking at our current injury free squad, one reguarly must've been droppped:

Lloris, Walker, Dawson, Vertonghen, BAE, Parker, Dembele, Holtby, Dempsey, Adebayor, Friedel, Caulker, Naughton, Livermore, Huddlestone, Carroll, Coultihurst, Ceballos. Extra: Veljkovic.

I reckon one of the CMs has been dropped, probably Livermore.

EDIT: Turns out Veljkovic is just going to watch as its home town. So the squad will be:

Lloris, Walker, Dawson, Vertonghen, BAE, Parker, Dembele, Holtby, Dempsey, Adebayor, Friedel, Caulker, Naughton, Livermore, Huddlestone, Carroll, Ceballos. Reserve: Coultihurst

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Don't see anyone of them getting a look in, in this game. Heck, AVB didn't risk throwing Ceballos on for Dempsey when chasing the game against Everton

Well wouldn't you if all you've got to model yourself on is Defoe, Dempsey and Adebayor?

 

[moomin]

Veljkovic was raised in basel, and used to play for fc basel before signing for us. i bet that has more to do with him travelling to basel with the team than him actually being expected to play/be on the bench.

He is also not registered in the competition to play

Well hopefully if Dempsey plays anything like he did on the weekend, we may see Cebellos come on

I don't think youth need to be registered in order to play.
Hopefully Carroll starts with Parker and Dembele in midfield, Siggy, Holtby, and Adebayor up front.

 

[Adamspurs]

I'm really pumped up for this, 90 minutes away from a semi final.. COYS!

 

[RuskyM]

COME ON YOU SPURS

Haven't slept all night and we're still eleven hours away. Christ I'm excited.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

I'm recording this as I can't get out of a prior engagement. Praying we get through though, and no doubt I'll be checking my phone for updates constantly.

 

[Cavehillspur]

COME ON YOUUUU SPURS!!!!!

Looking forward to this big time, really think we can nick a 1-0 or 2-1 win, gonna be another nerve-jangling encounter no doubt.

 

[ryantegan]

most important game of the season so far

 

[ilikeost]

Really looking forward to this game. Lets fucking do this! Parker to get a hattrick!
