Benfica Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[LSUY]

Oh and i hope it's not Lennon and Townsend on the (natural) wings.

But if we play Townsend as an inverted winger it's going to be 90 mins of him threatening to knock out fans sat in either row Z or by the corner flags.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

If we are going out, which looks likely, I hope we can do it with pride and honour and don't get thrashed.

As my good friend, Lando Calrissian once said "here goes nothing".

It couldn't get much worse than a 'gilet' could it? He made Arsene Wenger's sleeping bag look fashionable.

Lennon as captain, I still can't comprehend that

Apparently there's been a run on those Gilets in the club store...


Coming soon to an effigy near you.

Our previous manager made Lennon captain once...to be fair he has been at Spurs for nearly a decade now.

 

[JerryGarcia]

Are we lining up

Brad
Naughton - Sandro - Fryers - Rose
Bentaleb
Siggy - Chadli
Lennon - Soldado - Townsend

Yet apparently he did go to the fans after the chelsea match

But was that before or after Sherwood told them to go to the fans?

Good.

Play him directly in front of that Jesus bloke and tell him to shoot on sight of his face!

Lets hope the high line has disappeared for an evening with this defence...

 

[UncleBuck]

This thread is going to be comical over the next couple of hours, I need a drink!!

 

[Spurger King]

Haha Sherwood hiding in the stands.

I know but still. He's not vocal and he certainly doesn't lead by example

 

[thinktank]

Let the experiment begin!

 

[avonspurs]

Sorry, I seem to have misread the team sheet - they appear to have Eriksen as a sub when he's clearly in the starting 11. Isnt he? Oh, of course not, Sherwood's manager.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

This!

Lennon is like a midget beside the Benfica captain
