Real Madrid Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[Jimmyjimmyo]

nice to buy 2 defenders and still have the same problems as last year

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Madrid are just way more compact than us and move the ball so much more purposefully.

No surprises, just a noticeable gap in quality.

 

[dirtyh]

sloppy from too many so far. what eriksen was doing not closing down/stopping the cross i don't know.

 

[Khilari]

Dele Alli nutmegged Modric!

He did it again!!!

 

[Cravenspurs]

Kane has not touched the ball in a threatening position since the third minute or so.

 

[Spurger King]

Release the fucking thing

You want us to bring on Fazio?

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Tell me that when we're battling for CL qualification, not in a training game

I probably did.

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

I know its still preseason, but I am already tired of the back/sideways passes, and players not having a sense of urgency when attacking - it seems we collectively hold onto the ball too long.

That's exactly how it was in the MLS game. Drove me nuts.

FFS premier sports just gone to test screen for anyone else?

Free header at the top of the 6,... thanks Danny

Wimmer completely out of position and Dier not watching anything.

Let's not put this one all on Rose. Terrible all round.

Unfortunately the torture does indeed last 90 minutes.

Ahhh fucksake! Best have another beer then

Poch has Spurs passing backwards really well, maybe they can start moving forward in the second half?

 

[Borks]

Look at Eriksen barely even sticking a heel out at the cross for the goal. Fucking embarrassing.

 

[beats1]

Alli only plus from this half tbh.

Everyone else has been anonymous or sloppy.

I agree but even that isn't a big plus because imo he needs to be played in a 433 and I don't think that will happen

In a 4231I don't think he will be allowed to make many forward runs with Bentaleb next to him without leaving the back four exposed

 

[Gravy12]

Commentators very anti spurs

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Must say, isco has sublime technique.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Just got home so missef the first half...so ,

We still look a shambles at the back and a joke up front unless Kane/eriksen pulls something out the bag?

 

[Blackrat1299]

Lost my stream, how we doing?

 

[sim0n]

Ahhh fucksake! Best have another beer then

I like the way you think, I'm going in as well...

Commentators very anti spurs

On the Spurs TV network? That's not good.

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

Lost my stream, how we doing?

Guess.

 

[Strikeb4ck]

Remind me how many times this back four has played together?

Twas a joke.
