Tottenham Hotspur Versus Redbull Leipzig 19/02/2010

[Doom Funk]

I am the first to moan and whinge about this team but given the circumstances I think they have done about as well as could be expected in that first half

This is a very good team we are playing

 

[BoonTHFC]

Can Ndombele play 45 minutes? Because his dribbling ability could bait some second yellow cards for their players.

Can’t we do rolling substitutions and give him a 5 minute break every 15 minutes or so?

 

[NW1Spur]

Generally if you get to half time level against a high energy team the game gets a bit easier after the break.

 

[Gazzapen]

You fuckers with your Dele hate is getting old.

I agree. He's been playing well tonight and still he gets slated. Check the stats. He's made more tackles than both Aurier and Davies, and he has found himself in some good positions. I've seen more of him and Lo Celso than any other Spurs players.

 

[OldBoy68]

Played Dele

FIFA or PES?

 

[JohnnyS]

If we manage to be more effective in the way we pass forward, I can see us scoring a couple of goals in the second half.

 

[Kekerinho]

Can’t we do rolling substitutions and give him a 5 minute break every 15 minutes or so?

Feed him a hotdog while he’s resting.

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

First half summary:

This, but the Leprechaun is every Leipzig attack...

 

[Joshking5]

Want to see Ndombele but st the same time I think that might disrupt our defensive shape. Gedson actually covers for aurier.

Aurier been shit btw apart from that dele cross.

 

[jigz23]

Was Lucas on the field the last 15 minutes? Not saying it's his fault, but he was not even part of the action at all.

 

[Arjun]

Dele, being 6ft 2 and having a decent jump, should be good in the air but he doesn't really want the contact, imo. A lot of his headers are when he has plenty of space rather than outmuscling or jumping into contact to win headers. It should be a mix of him and Lucas, i think the front 3 has to be very fluid.

well....

 

[JohnnyS]

I'll vote for one half of football no need for two. It's clear to me now

Make sure to vote in the informative rating poll as well.

 

[pakistani-spur]

Throw on the fastest player on the bench and stick him up front to partner Lucas. Sub Dele I guess...

 

[slickz]

Jose’s grinding them down, expect more chances as LZG run out of ideas and steam. We’ve got this.

 

[Eli]

Classic Mourinho if we win this 1 nil

I’d be fecking delighted if we did.

 

[anderton46]

We can barely outplay Villa, so we were always going to struggle vs quality opposition. If we can keep a clean sheet it'd be a solid result. Sanchez has been good.

 

[White Van Jan]

Just seen those early RB chnces and Hugo saves

 

[miche]

Really didn't like Dele's assigned position defensively. Wasn't able to do much of anything. Think I would prefer he drop into a line of 5 and everyone just get tighter on their man. Did get better towards the end though. Interested to see what Jose does.

 

[Mariner]

Alot of nothing from Leipzig really.

I feel there's a goal for us on the break.

I thought was just me, yes they have the ball but we’re shepherding them into positions that we want.

 

[sammyspurs]

Can Ndombele play 45 minutes? Because his dribbling ability could bait some second yellow cards for their players.

And another 7 weeks out injured
