I know we aren't but if we are aiming for Champs league that's who we will be coming up againstaulinhofacepalm:
I'm face palming because everyone wants/expects Champs league football from us but seems happy enough to have second rate mediocre players. I'm saying that if we want to hit similar levels to these teams then we can't settle of that.. Dortmund never seem to spend super amounts of money but they manage to hold their own (this season excluded.) Fazio is another second rate player that we got because the Musacchio deal didn't happen
He just transferred here from Spain a few months ago. He just started getting regular game time recently. Remember how Chadli did last year? Look at him now. Lets give him a chance to settle in for gods sake. He did win the Europa league last year, something we couldn't do. Anyways, everyone is playing like shit right now. I can't imagine having to come into this struggling team and adapt to a new league. How bout we stop shitting on players that just arrived here and give him a chance? Lets back some of the players instead of shitting on them.
He didn't play left back. He partnered Vergini at centre half and he was largely untroubled as you'd expect from a Croatia second string side. I like Fazio. I know, seems rare that a Spurs fan is supporting a new signing doesn't it? - I think he just needs time to develop a partnership with Vertonghen and get Kaboul as far away from the club as possible.
It is certainly wrong. Ansadli, you know the left back, played at left back. I watched the game. It's quite amazing that a football website can get it so wrong.
As mentioned before, largely untroubled but as to be as expected from arguably a reserve Croatia side. He is good with the ball at his feet as I saw numerous times at Sevilla and again last night, which is why it's strange seeing him so awkward at times with ourselves. He's more than capable of Premier League football and I think with time, him and Vert could provide a strong partnership, you have the "cultured" better on the ball defender in Vertonghen and then someone who is good in the air beside him in Fazio.
Totti
says Fazio played fine. He made a couple of decent blocks and even had a burst forward past a couple of croats.
Dortmund have had some great breaks with recruiting, but although they're the plucky underdog against Bayern, they're still the second-biggest club in Germany by a significant amount.
