Tottenham Hotspur Versus Redbull Leipzig 19/02/2010

[Jenny Talia]

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

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

I'll take this all the way to UEFA but i will cast a vote

Painful half of football but at least we’re still level

And with lamela and ndombele available off the bench. Not a terrible position to be in at all

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

Who would that be....? Our fastest player has a broken arm, and the rest are already on the pitch.

First half summary:

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

It's a stretch of a reference but a Wayne's World reference nonetheless sooo.....

 

[Zest]

Phew. When our calm guru loses it, we are all in trouble.

Fact is, he was right, but it changes nowt.

Maybe he was right, or maybe we are Ali Vs Foreman.

Rope a dope (hopefully!)

This has nothing to do with Kane and Son, if you think it has you clearly haven’t watched a Jose team in a while. We play deep by design, counter by design, long ball by design.

Son, maybe not, but Kane is the best target man in the squad and that would be very useful in this game (and, indeed, any other long ball game).

 

[OldBoy68]

Not saying we are great but not sure we should be 3-0 down according to Rio...

 

[Darnswim]

If Sanchez would be in his FA Cup Southampton form, we would've been trailing by 4 goals tonight. Thankfully, he's been playing very very well.

 

[Hoddinho]

Im really missing Dembele. Winks is not even half the player he was...

 

[AlabamaSpur]

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

Dele is playing great. Why would you want to sub him?

 

[Twoleftfeet]

We need to hold on to the ball.

 

[Larry David]

Clear game plan to play deep and narrow. We aren’t creating anything but neither are they (couple of chances for Werner aside)

I expect them them to gas out second half and we’ll come into it. Think everyone is playing fine at the moment, Winks can maybe be a bit braver on the ball but we’re doing ok

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

RIGHT, SECOND HALF LET'S BE HAVING YOU

 

[Lickher]

This is the kind of match where under Poch’s style of play I probably would’ve struggled to see where a goal would come from but with Jose ball I really feel like we could score at any moment - no doubt we were slightly dominated in that half they are quite a scary team - so fast and direct, I thought my stream was on 0.2x fast forward they were zipping the ball about so quick.

 

[Cravenspurs]

Winks passes 27 @ 74% (highest for us)

Gedson 9 @ 55%


We've been terrorised as a team, but there are players doing a fuck of a lot less than Winks.

He gets shat on for being in the hardest position on the pitch, out of position, and doing an above average performance of it.

I love what Jose has got him doing. Far more forward thinking. It was clear that Poch wanted him to be more conservative.

He has had a couple recent beautiful lofted through balls from central positions that we haven't seen in a long time.

I’m here at the game so haven’t followed the thread obviously. But I would imagine there’s a lot of “how are we not winning this” and “we need to take our chances” comments?

Consider playing 20 2 yard passes and really not having an impact. Pull up his losing the ball stats

Jenas can STFU...

It's annoying to listen to but he's calling it correctly.
