OMT - Tottenham Hotspur vs Borussia Dortmund - 2nd leg

[Daisuk]

I have absolutely NO CLUE wtf we were trying to do/achieve over these two legs with the teams we have fielded

Team today seems like a compromise between resting key players and fielding enough experiences players to say "at least we tried". I'm sure a lot of people would critcise Poch if he fielded only kids today.

 

[Robbo]

It looks as if they're 15 outfield players to our 10. Their movement, pressure and positioning is absolutely superb.

Doubt we would've stood much of a chance even with our best 11 over two legs.

Poch needs to hook Dier, Lamela and Alli now. Should probably take off the two centre backs and play with 9 too.

By the looks of it Poch thought he could get a result with the side he put out in Germany, but he got taught a footballing lesson, now he's trying to save face by fielding a stronger side to prevent an aggregate hammering, but it looks like it will happen anyway.

Go Toby go!!! The new King of WHL.

Bale-esque!!

 

[Spur of the moment]

Brilliant, Alder!

 

[Papercut]

It's likely they were going to be playing with fearlessness considering the 3-0 cushion.

 

[Hootnow]

Well, just hope we don't get embarrassed now.

 

[Bullet]

What on earth is Son doing today, absolutely atrocious. Has lost the ball 342 times out of 343

 

[Rorschach]

Even more pointless now. please do not bring kane on poch

 

[Robbo]

Kane warming up?! No need for him to come on tonight now, we're not gonna score five, even with Messi partnering him up front!

We always seem to get the winners or one of the top 2/3 teams in the last 32/16 of the competition every year.

 

[Kandi1977]

They are just technically superior. Better passers, better ball control in tight situations. A Very good football team. No denying that

That tends to happen in cups eventually

true, look at the crap the other English teams drew this round

 

[Robbo]

That's a very good free kick, shame we couldn't convert.

 

[BucurestiSpur]

Feeling bad here for Lamela and Toby, they are giving it plenty of effort.

There's only one unforced change different between the two sides

 

[Papercut]

Playing very nice footie and this will be a very good experience in the young side's learning. As I said, had this been the first leg, I doubt Dortmund would be playing as comfortably.
