Dortmund vs Tottenham - Part II: The Match Thread

[ajspurs]

I probably wouldn't be as frustrated if we didn't have a similar performance on Saturday. Yes it's been a bit better but that's probably only because of the lower level of opposition or at least the lower current form. If Dortmund were as good as Arsenal I think we'd be seeing an almost identical performance to Saturday, personally.

There's just something really missing, that click and fluidity between Alli, Eriksen and Kane is just non-existent.

Can see why Rose didn't make the squad against the arse

Or against Newcastle....

Don't think we've been too bad tbh and both Eriksen and Dier came close. Need to get Eriksen and Winks on the ball more.

Yep we've been alright. Just behind to a really well worked goal.

I think we underestimate our own team! ;-)
Don't underestimate how good Toby Ald is for us in terms of not letting the back 3 go to sleep.
Don't underestimate how much we are missing Wanyama this term.
Don't underestimate how flowery Dele Alli really is at the moment. (I think we've played better when he was suspended!)
Don't underestimate that we have already qualified!
COYS!

Some things are gripping the team recently, and fitness seemed to be one of the issue IMO.. We are not even into Christmas and they look knackered..

The keeper literally just made a world class save to keep out a goal.

Christ you guys are quick to jump on the team's back. We could and should have scored 2 or 3 goals. We aren't playing badly at all. Within ourselves perhaps but so we should at this point.

I agree we're not playing horrible, just uninspired. Coulda, woulda, shoulda doesn't matter really. We can still get something out of this but they need to up their game.

He is crap at corners, and that's being kind, and hasn't scored a direct freekick in ages.

I always thought Lamela gave us the best corners out of the current crop tbh.

I think you could look at Lloris again for that goal.

& Vertonghen

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Madrid struggling again..

 

[Nerine]

Mario Goatse lol

 

[Adam456]

RM are 4-0 up and assuming that the Dortmund players are aware then it's hard to see them giving 100% second half

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

I think we're playing alright. We've looked more threatening than them in general. It could easily be 2-1. I expect us to score this half and go on to win

 

[JimmyG2]

I think you could look at Lloris again for that goal.

Yep difference has been the keepers.
Two great saves for them
and Lloris hesitant and poorly positioned for theirs.

I think this evening’s performance is a lot better than the weekends. Jesus we looked shocking at the weekend at least today we look a bit interested and have had a few chances

The moaning is RAWK levels of delusion. Apparently we should be smashing Dortmund away now and anything less is pathetic.

Much much improved from Saturday.

What's RAWK?

 

[paulcumpstone]

I think we have been decent and deserve to be level but don't understand where are rose and aurier playing when we dont have the ball.they are making it like a straight back 5.dont need to be so deep or so wide.dortmund have been getting through the middle.i think the pair of them need to tuck in more and be 10 yards higher.

 

[Jamturk]

I think you could look at Lloris again for that goal.

His positioning is way off, if not lloris saves that

 

[jonnyp]

I always thought Lamela gave us the best corners out of the current crop tbh.

I agree, Lamela's corners has pace and swerve and most importantly almost always went past the first defender. I cannot fathom how Eriksen or the coaching staff can't sort that shit out. It's so frustrating it hurts.

Red and white kop. Bindippers forum.

the hysterical Liverpool version of SC, always good for a laugh.
