Tottenham Vs Fiorentina: Match Thread

[elDiablo]

feel a little robbed by their goal. we dominate, and its one of the better games ive witnessed. Interesting that even our partial second string are now playing with that intensity - great to watch.

ill be surprised if chadli dont score today. Next one has to go in!!

Townsend/Walker combo has been on fire.

Anything less than 5-1 would be poor, there is sooooo much space, don't think I've ever seen that much...we will probably lose the easiest game we've had all year. Ultimate spursy

 

[Nebby]

If Townsend and Walker stopped all the fancy stuff and delivered the early cross, we'd be out of site by now. Still, stepovers look cool.

 

[Damian99]

As per usual we are the ones who cause ourselves problems, wouldn't be so bad if the opposition causing them. We are looking a good side and defo moving in the right direction, but there is plenty to sort out still defensively.

 

[mpickard2087]

Also, I think Bentaleb is having a very good game. Probably the pick of the bunch for us.

 

[SugarRay]

Hard to do anything in Europe when you have a real talent for gifting vital away goals to the opposition.

Happens every bloody year! You'd think we would have learnt our lesson by now!

COYS

Such an exciting first half. Second half is ours.

Nope. We've had quite a few chances and failed to put it away. It's typical spurs to end up being bitten in the ass by the lack of end product and too much greed.

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Should have been four up by the time they scored and then should have scored again since.
No idea how it's 1-1. Typical us really! Played great but not hammered the nail in...

 

[CowInAComa]

fuck sake.

 

[talkshowhost86]

Soldado's Spurs career in one half there.

Fleetingly brilliant and then disastrous.

we just need to get back in the control we had. If we calm down and recollect we've got this.

 

[godemand]

How are we not ahead? This Fiorentina side is by far the worst side we've faced this season! We must keep overloading the flanks, Walker needs to overlap more. If we can keep up the pressure, we must surely win tonight.

 

[tippspur59]

Should be well ahead by now on possession and chances,our defence can't be trusted at all.

 

[Mouse!]

Still think we can set ourselves up for victory in Italy but we should be out of sight.

 

[spursfan77]

No this annoys me. It's the easiest thing to get right as a referee!!!

@JamesMawFFT: Look how far Fiorentina shifted that free kick... https://t.co/huZ81991T1

I think we've played some great stuff tonight, a bit unlucky not to be well ahead and Fiorentina are a pretty decent side, when they get into the game it starts going end to end, just a really good game to watch so far, this is why I like the knock out stage of the Europa League, rarely a dull game and I think that is something that often gets overlooked about this competition.

It's a cracking game of football - two well matched teams.
Despite score and the concession - I'm loving our high tempo and the desire of almost every Spurs player to carry the ball forward rather than go sideways - just loving that.
We're a young team - much to learn but hell yeah we're on the right path.
Soldado's overhead? Oh blimey - if that had gone in!
Keep it up lads - we'll score again if we can keep that tempo and mentality we will reap the rewards.
Special mentions for Andros - good game son and Verts - Has Gomes well read.
This is what European nights are all about!
COYS!

Mason and Lamela for Eriksen and Paulinho.

Then maybe Dembele on for Bentaleb later to rest him.

Means we would have rotated our first team attackers/midfielders for at least 45 mins.

As long as it's not going to pot then we can leave Harry on the bench.

 

[CowInAComa]

Their goal was pure fluke, the kind we never seem to get.

If we ever started scoring the amount of goals our domination warranted the world would implode.

 

[The Apprentice]

Townsend so much endeavour and so so many wrong decisions.

Playing well. Very confident of putting them away second half. Bar the flukey equaliser, we've been comfortable.

Soldado, Bentaleb, Verts, Davies all very good.

Eriksen slightly off the pace.

 

[CowInAComa]

At least EnfieldYiddo will be happy.
