Bayer Leverkusen Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[Sweetsman]

Will fucking take that.

rode the storm after dominating the first half.


Interesting that taking Lamela off had the effect of... Making things worse. Maybe he's not the cause of all our woes?

Don't tell King of Otters that: he'll self-combust.

 

[riggi]

Can't see us winning at Wembley.

All a bit headless chicken. If that's the alternative to slow possession I'm not sure which I prefer

 

[tippspur59]

Have to be happy with that I suppose with the way that second half went.

 

[RButch]

That was a painful second half, kudos to B.L though; but my God, that was disappointing.

 

[oskathegobshite]

Tidy point. Should still get out the group now.

 

[Romulus]

Rose, Wanyama and Verthonghen were fantastic

 

[spursfan77]

Our group still ridiculously tight.

Should never have lost to Monaco. That was a massive massive fuck up.

 

[Sweetsman]

That's a good one. I humbly submit to your superior wit, intelligence and football punditry.

Well done.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

CL advancement still in our own hands, need help from nobody. Can't ask more than that after having played 2 of 3 matches away. Lloris, Vertonghen, Rose, Trippier, and Wanyama showed up and fought the battle for the rest of the team. Rest of the players need to sort out whether they actually want CL footie.

 

[lukespurs7]

Happy that is over. A good point away but shows that we are not mature enough for the CL...

Why?
We kept them out.
They're a good side and we were away.

 

[Sweetsman]

Wasn't worried about conceding for one second. It was like a heavyweight fighting a lightweight but having his hands tied behind his back. We gave them as many free punches as they wanted but weren't likely to do any damage with their awful finishing

Do you play chicken with trains?

 

[danielneeds]

Very interesting match. They are a good side and put everything into that first 20 in the 2nd half.

We got a bit rattled, but then showed a bit of heart and dug in. That's what you need when the going gets tough.

We've got to sharpen up our passing in the final third if we want to achieve anything this season though. Tripper apart, the rest of them were woeful.

 

[Bobbins]

Properly awful second half, probably the worst I've seen this season.

 

[dagraham]

Woeful 2nd half performance. At times I thought I was rewatching England against Iceland again. A disorganised rabble, totally forgetting how to even pass the ball to a white shirt.

And despite being the better team in the 1st half, we managed just one effort on target in the 90 mins.

I know Leverkusen are no mugs, but that's not good enough really.

 

[Grapo2001]

Tough second half that, well earned point. Wanyama and rose were superb. Trippier was good.

 

[Hazardousman]

We still aren't clinical enough, second half was the polar opposite to the first half, I have no idea why we seem to only be a one half team (in terms of attacking) lucky to get a draw in the end.

Reality is we really need to learn to put our chances away when we have them because right now it's starting to look like that without Kane banging them in we don't look like scoring or like we have someone composed enough to score.

 

[Good Doctor M]

Hardest fixture in the group stage. We got a point. Can't complain. We weren't playing a Mickey Mouse team - it was pretty even. Wembley will be a cracker.

 

[taricco]

And that's why we are the only team unbeaten in the PL. Honestly, I wonder about some of our so-called fans.

I mean. That doesn't engage with my post at all. A few times this season I think that Poch's decisions during a match have made us look worse in game. I think that happened again tonight. Your point on league position isn't really that relevant and a little hysterical.

 

[UpTownSpur]

We'll definitely beat them at fortress White Hart Lane. Oh wait...
