Real Madrid vs Tottenham: CL Match Thread

[WiganSpur]

We’re missing Alli’s guile.

Being honest, I don't think we need someone who'll lose possession recklessly in this game, although Eriksen isn't exactly setting the world on fire.

 

[kaz Hirai]

With Dembele, wanyama, rose, Dele and lamela.... I think we go in 0-2 up

Madrid weren't in top form that half. Hope they stay in a funk in the 2nd . They leave a whole lot of space in their half

 

[jonathanhotspur]

Has Lloris ever gone the right way for a penalty?

 

[Spurs72]

If someone had told me Spurs would be tied at the Half (1-1) at Real Madrid today, I would have said are you trynna have a laugh

 

[OptimisticPessimist]

Eriksen has definite stage fright. Good news is Real or Barca won’t want him after this!

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Eriksen, perhaps this is harsh - is bottling it in my view.

Was evident from the beginning of he game, he seemed overawed by the occasion. Hopefully he can turn it around second half, we really need him to show up.

 

[SugarRay]

Good first half overall. I actually agree with both penalty decisions so far.

The ref will absolutely look to give everything to them if he can so need to keep it smart where it matters.

Harry, sometimes it's ok to pass! That 45 yard blocked effort instead of playing it to Aurier out wide led to a predictable dangerous counter

 

[Ossie85]

Never a penalty. Kroos dived long before

It's always the same with Real Madrid. They are always giving them offside goals, penalties.
Fucking hate them

For those that disagreed. Clear dive

Some of you are fucking idiots. Aurier has been superb. Kroos was in the 6 yard box and about to pull the trigger. Aurier's tackle at least gave loris a chance to save it.

Eriksen is struggling to get into the game however he is up against Modric and Kroos!! Arguably the best midfielders in the world.

Winks seems to be doing alright against them.

We all love Eriksen, but he’s not perfect and deserves to be dug out for that first half.

 

[The Swellhead Spur]

Winks looking great

 

[SonicSarr]

We'll never get these pen decisions in the Bernabeu, typical bias refs.

Keep it tight again start of 2nd half then I'd get Rose out there at least for the last 20. And Son. Sissoko and Llorente to make way.

 

[Donki]

We're playing probably the best club team at their home and drawing without parking the bus and yet some forum memeber, who IMO should know bettter are still questioning the lineup. Some people need to really take a look at themselves and who we are as a team.

 

[Jamturk]

I wonder if Rose has 20 minutes in him, would really balance us out.

 

[Giovanni]

Eriksen will be much better 2nd half. Poch will guide him as he did v dortmund.

 

[SugarRay]

Eriksen has definite stage fright. Good news is Real or Barca won’t want him after this!

It's shame. Couple of times he's been in possession and we've been in a great position but he's fluffed it

 

[Marty]

Has Lloris ever gone the right way for a penalty?

I always get the feeling he doesn't study opponent penalty takers as dilligently as most top keepers.

 

[anydange]

Quite like how Fredinand refered to Spurs as "We" - Either a fan or puts his allegiances aside to back the English side.

I like that too! Imagine where the England team would be if the British press got behind our teams and players more regularly rather than trying to sell them to Spain.

 

[bubble07]

Maybe Poch didn't play all his aces in his first hand.

Hopefully he didnt go all in on a 7-3 off suit

 

[Dov67]

going to be a long second half.

Wonder if MP will take serge off - he's on a yellow and he has no brain. Worth the risk???

 

[ernie78]

All those walker haters. He wouldnt have done what aurier did

Do you not remember Walker???? He had plenty of brain farts mate
