And anyone want to say er ok, sorry, that was pretty good from Friedel tonight?
Could've done more for the goal :llorisserious:
You joke but he could have. He could have claimed the cross, and he showed way too much of the right hand side of the goal.
Solid but I always felt we'd concede with him in. As we're down to two competitions now I think Lloris should play every game.
I don't get all the adulation - yeah sure, 6 GREAT goals in 5 games, but Defoe once scored 5 in 1 game.
5 in 1 game is better than 6 in 5 games, isn't it? And even Adebayor scored once, so he's pretty great too.
Therefore, Bale isn't that big a deal, ok, ..... ©Peter Griffin @ family guy

Only just got on here after THAT GOAL!!
I love Bale

Ruffled a few feathers in the paxton for talking too loudly about steeeeeeeeeeeeeeed's penis enlargement.
Watched some football tonight. I thought the Tottenham game was supposed to be on but instead I got some team who scored twice from from set pieces.
In all seriousness besides Bale I thought Vertonghen and Gallas were the best players on the pitch tonight. Won so many balls in the center of the park and distributed well. Was very impressed especially with the much maligned Gallas.
Don't understand the Adebayor criticism. Played really hard I thought and looked pretty good for his first full game back. Lyon were well organized in the back I thought.
Also, their goal was Danny Rose-esque.

Yeah, Gallas was on fire today. Alicia Keys even wrote a song about him...
Gallas is on fire
Gallas is on fire
He's walking on fire
Gallas is on fire
Looks like a girl, but he's a flame
...
Girlfriend's now asleep so watched the whole game on sky plus without knowing the result. We scored 2 direct free kicks. TWO??!!
Someone get the gritters out coz hell is freezing over.

It was a good win against a very good team
Lyon are currently ranked 12th in Europe ahead of AC Milan, Benfica, Man City and of course us, who are some way back in 28th place

Incidentally, it's quite a tribute to us and the Prem that Schalke are ranked considerably higher than us and are still in the CL, yet Holtby was really keen to leave them for us.
Talking of Lewis, it's time for him to start games more often.
I'm a big Clint fan, but he was poor tonight. Ade weren't great either, but I think it should be Clint who makes way next week.
I also want to see Lewis playing against West Ham, rattle them a bit :holtbytongue:
I said before the game I expect Hugo back for the return leg, and I still think the same. We'll need our high line at its very best there. I also said I'll be fuming if Hugo isn't back for that one, and still think the same there as well. For this leg I could see the logic of Brad playing, so while unhappy wasn't jumping up and down about it.
Brad did fine, any criticism for the goal must mainly fall on Gallas, but teams don't normally score from there.
Whether Lloris would have commanded the situation and cut out the cross I've no idea. Had he played it would have been a different game and the cross wouldn't have happened, but something else might have led to a goal from them instead.
We also of course need our best defender Dawson back for that, he is simply better at headed clearances than Gallas.
AVB gambled by leaving out our two best players in our back 5, he got away with it , IMO. But we will need Hugo and Daws back for the return.
It should be a great game, and alive till the very last minute.

He missed one earlier in the game
Bale class again
Solid defending
Nice movement up the wing
Poor final 1/3
Inept Striker at the top
Same old from our THFC
