Real Madrid vs Tottenham: CL Match Thread

[Good Doctor M]

What a terrible half, it's like we are scared to play football.

Go support Chelsea mate. I'm assuming you're new to Spurs... Or football in general.

 

[heelspurs]

Pass it to Aurier Kane FFS, don't shoot from there

that shit works in the prem but madrid will turn it around for goal. Stupid shot with a man busting it on the wing.

 

[Johnny J]

Why? Aurier was nowhere near the ball, whereas the Madrid player nicked the ball away from Llorente.

He took him out and got a small touch. That's still a pen.

 

[Marty]

Walker is much better imo but agree can also have those brain fart moments.

Aurier is roughly Walker's level when Poch took over, brainfarts outweighing positives. Let's give Poch this full season to work his full back magic.

Yeh 1 1 away at Real Madrid , champions of Europe, what a load of shite.

 

[Dov67]

what an idiot

 

[Col_M]

Aurier needs to fuck those slide tackles off, it's not the 80s.

What did you want him to do? If he left it Kroos would have scored, no doubt about it.

 

[spurs_girl_tasha]

LOL. Who?

That commentator. He's pissing me off.

 

[Shadydan]

Fuck me they give up a lot of space don't they, so much space between the lines for our forwards, it's only a matter of time until Kane or Eriksen take advantage of that.

It's a good away performance, shame about the pen but we should have had one ourselves.

 

[dagraham]

Not often I say this but Eriksen has been our worst player.

He’s a great player no doubt, but he needs a rocket up his arse because he seems like he has serious stage fright.

It’s not the first time he’s disappeared in an important game either.

 

[DiscoD1882]

Would have been happier going in at 1-0. But will take that. Need to stop the second ball it’s killing us at the moment.

 

[spursfan77]

It's annoying as going in 1 up would have been amazing.
Feels like Chelsea away last season.

 

[tiger666]

That man is a fucking prick. I hope he chokes during half time.

Bit harsh on Dinkey

 

[ardiles&villa]

I think that Llorente coming on has been class tbh

 

[jonathanhotspur]

You lot are being unfair to Aurier. Kroos was just about to shoot so would have blatantly scored

He'd overrun the ball.

 

[Goldman]

Serge on a yellow card needs to come off at HT for Trippier imo. You can’t see him going a full half without lunging into some challenge...

 

[naumanfaizi]

Whatever happens - so happy to see us properly, tactically, compete at this level!!

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

He’d lost that ball and went down as soon as he felt contact. Not s dive but gifted to him. Silly tackle to make.
I think we’ve done well considering out depleted midfield. Prepared to play a bit deeper and try and hit them on the break. Some better decisions in the final 1/3 and we could have easily been 2 up.

 

[glacierSpurs]

i don't get what the point of llorente is here. surely if the plan is to contain and counter then son would be a far more effective option.

I hope Son can come on sooner than later to inject pace against tiring defence.

 

[WiganSpur]

Think we could try going to a back 3 and get Rose on, we need to get more crosses in like for the goal. Rose on one of the CMs or Llorente off?
