Borussia Dortmund Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[nedley]

We have been sitting deep all game, what do you expect him to do, dribble past the entire defence and slot it past the keeper?

He's created our only decent chance

I expect him to retain possession though. He's given it away a number of times for no reason.

He's not the only one though.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Agreed.

Shocking tbh. Like actually shocking what he's been doing.

I can see Son's intentions (occasionally!), but he seems to fiddle about with the ball as opposed to making a decision. I.e. pass or shoot. Seems to me, he is rusty in close ball control which is rendering his insistance on dribbling ineffective.

just highlights how weak our squad is in terms of key replacement, think we have done ok in the main but no centreforward or natural defensive midfielder is killing us.

It's more that the BPL has a ridiculous schedule compared to the Bundesliga. If we had a schedule like theirs we'd be able to rest more players and play our strongest team like they have...

Whilst many were excited about playing them I knew we'd have to rotate and with this team we can't match them. What do we prioritise? This or the league?

 

[hodsgod]

I mean in general, we are in a bit of a poor patch. Which is to be expected, can't always play amazingly.

Yes I agree

 

[Damian99]

All I'm saying is 3 points against Villa has to be a must otherwise fans will be fuming

And rightly so .......... i reckon i could put a team out made up of members from this forum and beat fucking Villa.

(BC Manager obviously)

Didn't realise savage was a periodisation and fatigue expert

 

[Hoddtastic72]

I'm watching on the 50" at the moment but will be relegated to the lappy soon and it has a slight delay so I got to stick with Mutt & Jeff.

Mutt and Jeff???

 

[dcarney75]

If I was a billionaire, I'd offer Robbie Savage an un-turndownable amout of money to shut up forever.

 

[wishkah]

Tripp is growing on me.

I've always been a walker fan but like Davies I'm liking his brains.

 

[tooey]

Not a bad half really, we've been poor but it's only 1-0 and if we can keep it at that then I fancy us giving them a run for their money at WHL.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

We must have sold enough shirts to Asia now to fuck off Son in the summer

 

[dk-yid]

Fuck me. We haven't been great but we are away to a outstanding Dortmund side and 1-0... Some of you lot sound like we are losing by 4 to Exeter City...

 

[nedley]

Take that for half time.

 

[Tom Pops]

Mason might aswell not be playing. Tottally anonymous. Carroll is doing 2 players jobs atm

We would've been 2-0 down without Mason

 

[dickieven]

Well 1-0 at half time is not the end of the world. I think we need an away goal though otherwise next week will be tough.

 

[spursfan77]

Could have been worse.

Don't forget how good we are coming from behind.

 

[millsey]

Need to score one. Even at one nil far too dangerous for second leg

 

[easley91]

Quite tired of Savage s****ing on our eleven. Only 1-0. All that was needed was Dier to be in front of the CBs IMO.

 

[SPURSLIFE]

We are only one down. Savage talking like we are five down and the tie is over!

He's only saying it as it is. They look like scoring every time going forward and will probably get another couple of goals.

 

[faze_coys]

The pitch looks big to me, and I think our press is suffering as a result.

Dortmund are super-classy though. I believe this is close to their strongest 11. Well worth their lead.

What press :lol:

No lamela or alli = no press
