*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Atletico Madrid ***

[Robspur12]

One huge standout thing again
We ran
We ran more and more and it made them uncomfortable
I refuse to believe that Frank didn’t have the team fit enough, that IMO would be something he would be in too from day one
So what’s changed to get that intensity up?

Perhaps finally the players are treating every game like it is a cup final because they know what’s on the line. Igor deserves a lot of credit for achieving that. I just hope it continues on Sunday and for the rest of the season.

Some of the football we played tonight was absolutely superb
Glad I went as I enjoyed pretty much every minute of that display
We looked like a team that has been coached
Never gave up, never stopped running, gave it their all again
Atmosphere was excellent too from both sets of fans

The ref was an utter cnut !!

I continue to believe that our biggest issues are psychological, and that recent form/momentum and home atmosphere have a massive impact on the players’ performance.

Credit to Tudor as well for clearly getting the players motivated in what was starting to feel like an absolute quagmire of toxicity.

BTW, Bergvall coming back is so, so important for us. He ALWAYS LOOKS FORWARD!!!!!

The rest of the season. In fact the next 5+ years. Should be based on a midfield trio of Gray, Bergvall and Simons. They've all got amazing potential and that blend of the 3 of them is pretty spot on

I'm trying to think of the last time we put in a full 90 like that. We conceded the second half goals but heads never dropped and Xavi running to retrieve the ball after his pen really summed up the attitude all night.

Love this, classy.

Have to say I do feel a bit gutted that we’re out, although the likelihood of turning it around seemed minimal.
I delayed looking at my phone this morning (time zone difference meant I couldn’t/didn’t follow what was happening) as I didn’t want the disappointment.
Clearly our focus has to be getting safe from relegation (can’t believe I’m even typing that) but the end of a European run is sad.
Having said that, from what I’m reading we played very well, and that’s very encouraging for what we have ahead of us.

Agreed 100%.
Of course, we keep hearing we don't have any high-quality players...

What a performance. If we hadn't of started Kinsky in the first leg, we're through.

That's a really bad comment. It's not his fault that their pitch is useless.

I agree on one hand, but on the other the proof is in the eye-test and stats. Tudor said they weren't fit when he arrived and I didn't get it TBH. But I think he was saying it as it was.

100%. Said it for a while. And I think the crowd tonight helped us get the pen for the win.
