OMT: Bayer Leverkusen vs Mighty Spurs

[Pirate55]

Getting better as the game goes on, Leverkusen can't keep this press up all night and our lads can run for 90 and not stop. Can see us getting the chances and goals second half.

And is it just me but are European referees getting worse?

It's not just you.

Much like Saturday. That is comfortably in control ,imposing ourselves, creating space and chances BUT without a goal to show.

Same old. Not taking our chances. Hope we will not get punished for it!

Janssen reminds me of Rooney in his youth

I think it's the long sleeves.

A decent half for me. We looked a bit nervy/sloppy early on, but we have dominated the last 25 minutes or so and put together some neat attacking moves. It's just that final ball or finishing touch again that is lacking (and a bit of luck). I couldn't believe that double chance for Janssen and Lamela didn't end with a goal. Janssen should do better to be honest, but Lamela's effort hitting the exact spot where the goalkeeper was stood was just bad luck. Defensively we have looked solid except when we have put ourself in trouble trying to play out from the back.

Having seen all teams in the group now, I am convinced we are the best football team in the group, but we need to take advantage of our dominance in games and actually get the points on board. I expect Leverkusen to up their game in the second half, though, so we must be wary of that.

Actually it's the baldy sticky out ears look that does it

Gotta quit doing those crossbar challenge videos in training.

 

[King of Norway]

COME ON YOU SPURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Typical champions league game - won't get a lot of chances, gotta take them.
Unlucky with the bar twice. Alli will free should have scored - goes in 7/10.
But chances will come.

They get shape behind the ball well, bit like Sunderland, and are happy to push us wide, which is always defendable. Need someone like Sissoko or Dembele to run at them centrally - get them on their heals and affect their shape.

CSKA winning. Jeepers this group is going to be tight

 

[El Guepardo]

Lucky there

 

[paxtonwolf]

If the ref Owen Hargreaves' dad?

 

[monkeybarry]

Javier Hernandez has become more of a poddington pea than little pea

 

[thfcsteff]

We deserve a win right now, but a draw would be fine in the greater scheme of things...having said that, we DO need to take the chances we are creating.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Janssen's strength is incredible. If he could just get some goals under his belt

 

[paxtonwolf]

Wow. What a save...or was it in?

 

[Denmark Spur]

Incredible save

 

[Kandi1977]

Did we just get out of jail there?

 

[Cochise]

I thought that was in

 

[Bullet]

You are KIDDING me.
