***OMT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs KAA Gent - 2nd Leg***

[DubaiSpur]

Dembele lost the first 50:50 of the half. CANNOT happen.

 

[Hotshot-Tottenham]

She's married to me, probably gives it away.

 

[Rorschach]

Ref is a dingdong

 

[afsoc4life]

Looks like I should forget us doing wonders in Europe under Pochettino.

It is, and it isn't. With the latter option, at least you're not deluded with hope that you'll stop being the archetypical bottlers - you're so f*cked no one particularly cares enough to even stereotype you. Your team is a blank slate, on which great successes or great failures can be forged some day.

With Spurs, we're well known enough that the 'bottlers' tag sticks - with good reason, it sometimes seems.

Maybe my views on this are clouded by having a Blackpool supporting mate who gives me short shrift when I complain about Spurs.

 

[scaramanga]

No way. That's just not a considered rational tackle. He loses his head, simple as that.

You might see it as unfair considering previous decisions by the ref. But that's very different.

I'm not suggesting he's stopped and thought about it.

More that the ref sets the conditions and without stopping fouls it will ramp up along with tempers. I think if cards are being rightly shown then players will be more cautious. If the ref isn't even blowing for fouls then players won't be.

GET ACROSS YOUR MEN IN THE BOX, GODDAMNIT.

 

[nerdved]

If he has ended our participation in the BT Sport 5 circus then he's done us all all favour.

So, you are simultaneously angry with the referee for treating us unfairly -- and happy with Alli for (likely) ending our participation in the competition?

I'll leave you to it.

 

[milo]

I agree, again, won't hold this against him but it was an awful challenge, Adam-esque sadly :-(

Dier would get jealous if you tried

 

[PochettinoPochettinoPochettino]

We seem to be getting into some great positions with Walker down the right but that last ball lacks.

 

[afsoc4life]

Is the ref to blame for Wanyama losing the ball? Or Pochettino being tactically outclassed again in Europe?

 

[Benny_Lad]

We can be immature at times. Whether it is individuals or as a team.

I'd have a go now. We need another body up there. Son on pls asap.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Make some changes Poch to make them change

Bring in Jansenn and winks for wanyama and Davies

 

[SpurMeUp]

Playing very well.

That doesn't in any way defend what Alli did though.

 

[Mulletperm]

I can't think of a great team that hasn't had at least one.

Hard tacklers yes, not petulant and diving players who too often fail to play for the team.

 

[Baleforce]

wanyamas passing has been rubbish

 

[afsoc4life]

Team looks stronger this half. Or is it Gent sitting back.

 

[milo]

With them sitting deep in such numbers, I'd be tempted to bring on Winks to try and try and get some quality early balls to players in space

 

[Rock Strongo]

Need a goal while we're hot now!
