[lennon180]

Why was I looking forward to this game all day? It's like getting excited about a scheduled kick in the bollocks.

Feel good after City. To be fair, it feels like a free hot so won’t get too down. Just a shame it’s gonna be full strength before Watford to make sure now.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Formation all wrong tonight.

 

[kitchen]

Gil has made numerous great runs that are simply ignored by players too lacking in confidence/ability to find the pass...

 

[spursfan77]

Said it many times but I don't get Lo Celso at all

Our whole midfield is fucked. We saw Hojbjerg and skipp are ok but the rest could all go and we wouldn’t be worse off with who we bought in

 

[RamonVega'sShinners]

I knew there'd be at least one.

I just don’t think ‘building our coefficient’ and ending up finishing 7th again is worthwhile. Let’s focus on getting top 4. No need to be condescending about it mate.

 

[Bobbins]

The absolute arrogance of Nuno to put out this team and bench is beyond disgusting.

Didn't take long for that classic football fan term to crop up.

 

[CowInAComa]

Annoying that a lot of these youngsters are blended in with some shite, as it'll probably make it seem like they're not good enough.

For example, what's scarlett supposed to be able to do with no chances

Im sure the only players who are being judged on this match will be the 'first teamers'.

 

[Thewobbler]

This is a game to get some of the lads some minutes. Lo celso, romero and gil. We will play a stronger line up in the 2nd leg if we are losing and beat them there.

 

[paulcumpstone]

At least we running at them more now

 

[shelfboy68]

We have not got any idea going forward this is embarrassing

 

[muppetman]

Need to get Bryan, Clarke and Lo Celso dribbling at them as they love to give away a free kick.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Sessegnon has been good this half. But there is no link between the team and Scarlett up top. Nuno has got this wrong in a few ways but at the same time we’ve been the better team since h/t.

I think Gil and Clarke should swap sides. Gil and Sess could link up better.

 

[sausage]

Should have made Sissoko earn his £70k this week and provide physical presence in MF.

Writing must be on the wall if Moussa and Tanguy aren't making appearances in this, I guess.

 

[TheAmerican]

Fucking Doherty stops so many of Gil's run for attacks by not passing to him. Fuck sake.

He's made an incredible amount of great runs that haven't been picked up.

 

[Timberwolf]

Our whole midfield is fucked. We saw Hojbjerg and skipp are ok but the rest could all go and we wouldn’t be worse off with who we bought in

Starting to see why we're being linked to Nunez and Aouar after this.

 

[paulcumpstone]

Was a better ball from winks. Unlucky

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

jesus Winks....

Prove it.

 

[SpursTillIDie1882]

Fucking Doherty stops so many of Gil's run for attacks by not passing to him. Fuck sake.

You can see he is like 4-5 secs behind in thinking than Gil, by the time he realises the opp has gone

 

[THFCjosh]

The absolute arrogance of Nuno to put out this team and bench is beyond disgusting.

It's clearly not arrogance... the competition is the lowest priority.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I just don’t think ‘building our coefficient’ and ending up finishing 7th again is worthwhile. Let’s focus on getting top 4. No need to be condescending about it mate.

No reason why we can't do both, in this tournament.
