Tottenham Vs Borussia Dortmund: Match Thread

[Sevens]

Should have been looking forward to this game, but poch got it sooooo wrong in the first leg. With a goal or maybe two in it with the lane rocking I would have gave us a good chance of coming back. Unfortunately at 3-0 I don't fancy us at all. Lost it over there. But coys none the less!

Even if we put our strongest team tonight I'd be amazed if they didn't score once on the break. So effectively I think we need to score 5. Against Dortmund. Yeah, not happening.

We could be winning 3-0 at half-time, score again in the 60th minute to go four up, and still be odds-on to be knocked-out.

We need five.

 

[midspur]

If we score 18 I'll be delighted. But to concede 82...

Spursy

 

[Amo]

Then again, Inter were 3-0 down to us, too.

I don't think we will go through but teams can be complacent when winning by a large margin in the 1st leg. Just hope we have a go and show we can compete with the likes of Dortmund

Poor Poch, no matter what side he puts out tonight he's going to get stick. Absolutely needs to be a second string with a few regulars dotted about to stop it becoming a cricket score.

Glad Kane is getting a rest, its a stronger team than the first leg anyway

 

[Dr Know]

I think that's a strong team

Bentaleb is either playing at the weekend or his Spurs career is fucked. Sad

well, he kinda made it that way with his first leg selection. so no sorry for the man tonight from me. (to be clear, I LOVE Poch and always will. just disagree with the way we aproched this comp)

 

[tooey]

Bentaleb is a goner.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

I think that's a strong team

And…..Come onnnnnnnnnn fucks sake. Aren't you going to tell the world how you're trembling with anger? How since you found out the team you've found it impossible to get an erection? Not going to tell us how you kicked your puppy into the oven and slammed it shut gas mark 8? (6 for fan assisted ovens)

 

[CJMurray]

Think Dier playing tonight means he'll be rested against Bournemouth to prevent him picking up another booking.

 

[danielneeds]

Only way we give them a fight is if Alli pulls some Gerrardesque European shit. Crackers from 25 yards aplenty.

 

[MightySpurs]

And we should have rested alli and dier. maybe toby to.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Interesting line up...

He shouldn't be starting Alli or Dier either IMO, although long term it's good experience for them. Without Kane we have no natural out ball up top so it's a line up that stands no chance. So with that in mind not sure why we play such a strong line up behind.
