Europa League vs Gent (20.05KO)

[Gatsby]

Players have let Poch down there,, especially Alli.

We should be looking to put 3-4 past these teams. Son needs to learn to finish 1 on 1s.

They better respond Sunday, or this season could be a disaster...

Not going through to a mid table Belgium team is unacceptable

 

[Rhody Tottenham Fan]

The annoying thing is that we started a strong lineup, ran around with ten men, and now play Stoke in three days.

 

[Mariner]

That's 6 unnecessary games avoided

 

[Bazali]

I'm never eating Belgian chocolate again. Screw them, it's Cadbury's all the way.

And as for Tin Tin, Poirot ( can't think of anything else Belgian, hang on Stella?)

Swivel

 

[Don Giovanni]

This is an almighty bottlejob from Dr Tottenham John Thomas

 

[Jenny Talia]

That's the difference between us and an efficient competition team.. we need 25 opportunities to score twice, they get 2 chances and score twice. Yes, you can say they didn't deserve to get through.. but in the end it's the goal that counts

Can't argue with that.

 

[Doom Funk]

Our players like talking a big game but sadly they just dont deliver when it really matters
Exremely talented , extremely floored

 

[spursmalc]

Performance was good and we should have won. Nothing like the poor CL matches. Too much to do with 10 men but they really tried. Should have put more of those chances away.

I'm pissed right now, but that's what I'll be telling myself.

 

[Hamilton]

I agree. Other than some poor finishing, we haven't played badly here tonight. I think our second half effort, with 10 men, was actually quite inspiring to watch. Things haven't gone our way, but I wont call it Spursy either. These things just happen. We lost this one in the first leg, IMO.

Yeah. Other than conceding twice and missing about a dozen easy chances, the players did just fine against a starting eleven that probably cost less than Lamela. Look forward to more performances like this in the future.

 

[suburbanexile]

We've been piss-poor in Europe since beating Milan six years ago and it fucking stinks

Meanwhile Modric and Bale have won the champs league twice in a row. You can't lose players of that quality...Kane is worrying, he doesn't seem able to perform outside of the PL, neither in Europe for Spurs nor for England.

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

Tottenham players need to take a look at themselves after tonight.

You can't win cups when you play like losers. Too many players with their heads down. Dier awful, Kane invisible, Dele stupid.

Fair play to Walker, Son and Wanyama.

I genuinely don't think we were terrible against their packed defence!

Should we have taken chances better? Yes. But that fucking jammy away goal for Gent fucked us royally. Gave them something to sit back on.

Even with ten men we were completely on top of them. Wasn't to be.

Fuck this, I still want to punch a wall though.

 

[GaulPascoigne]

Can't say I'm distraught we're out

Annoyed we went out to a team like Gent, embarrassed even but more annoyed we still haven't won at Wembley

Being good in Europe and shite in the league is quite common

 

[Jayc1]

Look, disappointing result but the goal at the start of the season was Top 4. Poch will get us Champions League football again & hopefully Levy backs him this time around with the World Class player & depth this team desperately needs.

Every interview Poch and the players say they need to win a trophy. Top 4 is no longer the be all and end all, the club needs to win a cup.

The "project" depends on them having a winning mentality and Poch believes a stepping stone for winning the title is to win a cup.

 

[Totti]

Pochettino's ethos will ultimately cost us when it comes to furthering ourselves - this isn't a knock at him because he himself is young and has never won an honor in his managerial career so still has learning to do but the whole idea of having the youngest team and buying players he can hope to develop instead of buying experienced players and winners will eventually cost us.

We have a good defence, but beyond them? Inexperience or players not suited. We have a solid STARTING midfield, beyond them? Players who aren't good enough or are inexperienced. Great striker but who replaces him? Well, no one because the striker we bought is deemed not good enough.

We couldn't even play a second string team in Europe because Pochettino knows that it's not good enough.

 

[Kristeva]

don't worry yourselves lads, Gent may be shit but even if we'd won we would have come up against a proper tricky euro side well able to exploit the wide open spaces of an energy sapping wembley pitch. this was a futile cause.

 

[Maccer]

Nutshell

Strange that corners are rarely converted , yet Citeh scored 2 from corners against Monacco the other day , and Gent scored from a corner tonight.
Eriksen's corners are consistently shit meanwhile.

 

[Jay Ban]

Well there is no more fucking excuses to not finishing 2nd and pushing for 1st in the league anymore. Plus we better fucking win the FA Cup

Dele cunt
Referee massive cunt
Missing lots of chances huge cunts
Gent scoring lucky goals with Lloris not making a save, Spursy cunts
