Tottenham Hotspur Vs AC Milan: match Thread

[Chimbo!]

players not playing well at all. the hoof to crouch just isn't working and we're inviting pressure from it every time becasue it either comes to nothing or crouch is penalised.

lennon being doubled up on, he can't get into the game. Wanna see bale on badly and defoe as well actually.

this.

This is possibly the worst we've played all season. What happened to GETTING AT THEM, where's the TEMPO? PACE? Where in the hell are the CROWD? At the moment this is just like the 1st leg but roles reversed, Harry needs to get into them and sort this as we're just waiting for Milan to score if we carry on the same.

Its not good but its nervy and pressure changes everything, Milan have nothing to lose and its showing. They're dictating the tempo and we are standing off.

Bale on for Pienaar to attack the space and peg them back at some point in the second half.

We have to take it to them within reason of course...

How many free kicks has KPB earned....

 

[Yidiot]

we need to fall over more. we're not falling over enough.

 

[Reece]

Pienaar was hopeless.

pretty much what i thought, dont know how he's improving our first 11 at the minute, plus he has little goal threat

 

[StockSpur]

i think that was a case of 'hold out for the first half and as the 2nd half ticks by milan get more desperate and we hit them on the break for 2 - 0

 

[agrdavidsfan]

same could be said for luka

He's been the worst player on the pitch he looks drainEd

Need Lennon and VdV to step up to the plate this half and get a grip of the game. Would give it 10 mins and then bring Bale on.

edit. Modric not Lennon!

 

[Mr Pink]

Lennon is being doubled up on and its working for them, KPB covering Jankulofski or whatever he's called...

We have no threat of penetration at the moment, they saw the line up and looked at Lennon.

 

[nuttynoah]

Sandro and Gallas playing, others spectators.
Modric & VDV just not in game.
BAE & Corluka too many wasteful passes.
I'd bring on Pav for Crouch and Bale for Piennar.
COYS

 

[kishman]

Sandro has been amazing. Come on you Spurs we can do this. Bale Bale Bale

 

[Twizzle]

I think Pienaar's lack of pace is showing up here, need Bale on there for more counter attack

they really are onto the long bombs and covering Crouch pretty well, time to test them with speed and counter attack, if Crouch doesn't deliver soon, I'd bring JD on

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Arsenal look immense compared to us!

But I can't see us winning mow at all!

 

[llamafarmer]

Prince is a ****

Bale on would really help, Lennon needs to get at Jank more, if we can pin them back on the flanks Luka can have more influence.

Milan's tactics spot on so far, so we need to change up!

 

[kaz Hirai]

lets hope we dont imitate stokes brand of football this half

 

[Rafael]

Crouch!!! So close! I think he thought he was offside.

 

[Da_One]

Lol crouch!

 

[NEVILLEB]

Oh dear Crouch!

 

[sim0n]

We've been on the back foot but we're playing AC Milan in the Champions League and they need a goal. Gallas and Sandro have been standout and we have kept our lead at HT. They are going to have to attack in the second half and Lennon/Bale are going to get a lot more space to attack. Happy so far.

KPB going to ground so frequently and with minimal/no contact whenever Sandro is near looks to be an intentional plan. The ref is buying it, but I hope there's no need for a card, for Sandro that is. Bale certainly will open things up. I guess Pienaar is just supposed to wear abate down? Not sure what I make of Pienaar's performance... the strikers have not disappeared, but their service has. Lennon should be more aggressive on the dribble and draw fouls from jankulovski and KPB, they've hacked at him the few times he's been up there.

COYS!!!!! :clap:

 

[mpickard2087]

What an opportunity that was

 

[agrdavidsfan]

What's wrong with luka ffs
