Tottenham Hotspur v Ajax, Champions League Semi-Final, Tue 30th April

[Hazza]

The formation and personnel was all wrong at the start, and we paid for it. That away goal might be all that Ajax needed. But we gotta forget that for now and just try to turn this game around.

Who’s wearing Deles shirt tonight

We'll see if he still looks fit in the 90th minute

Maybe was better to put the game to bed and then sub him off

 

[SwissSpurs]

Looking much better in the last 10 minutes....no question that if we equalize early in the 2nd half Ajax will fall apart and we'll get 1 or 2 more.

 

[FDrells]

The commentator on whatever US stream I'm watching is a major-league cunt. "Ajax playing such rogueish, youthful football."

 

[imitationleather]

Fingers crossed Jan is still alive.

 

[peter merison]

What have we learned...well, 3 at the back wont work for us, Wanyama has been awful, Sissoko has gone from zero to hero in a season .
We are still in this if we play at pace with Sissoko scaring the B'Jesus out of them. Moura is doing well and I feel so sorry for Superjan who took a massive smack. COYS!!!

 

[Totti]

Ajax were absolutely excellent for the first 30 minutes by the way. Blew us apart. Great football being played. So much better than us technically and pressed the absolute hell out of us.

But the last 15 certainly gave me hope that we can at least nick something from this. Away goal could come back and bite us but going to the ArenA with at 1-1 or even 2-1 ahead (wishful thinking?) with Son coming back and Sissoko fitter would be a fucking godsend.

Going there 1-0 down would not be good enough. Certainly cannot concede another.

 

[Ossie Wembley]

Try being positive instead of coming out with crap like that

Will be amazed if you don’t get a red tonight

I’m expecting him to be positive - not slumped in his chair at one point then looking depressed on the line the other - and others posters agreed . That’s not an opinion those are the facts .

He has got it wrong with the shape and selection but we’re allowed to say positive things. It’s beyond a joke with some of you

 

[NW1Spur]

They could have won the tie in that half, let's make them rue not doing so. Absolute priority not to concede again.

 

[sammyspurs]

Shocking first half. Limited options. End 1-1 and it's a good result now. They are weak from free kicks, crosses etc.

Don’t rate them at all to be honest but they are decisive.
When we do actually press, like the last ten, they’ve got nothing.

 

[Legacy Lilywhite]

Biggest embarrassment is the negativity in our fan base. On here is bad enough. It’s my first time in the South Stand and where I’m at is full of entitled pricks. Fuck me, it is absolutely incredible that we’re here. We should back whoever is in the pitch until the last moment. It’s not difficult.

 

[Stag]

Much better after the forced change to shore the midfield up.

 

[Saxspur]

Next goal is ours

 

[Sundowner]

Feel bad for Jan. He looked very wobbly. It’s crazy there isn’t concussion protocol in EPL or champs league

 

[ShutUpPatrik]

We looked better towards the end. Game on in the second. Find what needs to be tweaked and do it.

 

[Kekerinho]

Pochettino fcuked up by playing 3-5-2. Simple. Not hindsight just the wrong move.

I don’t think he fucked up, he simply played the best players available. Sissoko is probably not 100% if he didn’t start.

 

[Teresa]

jesus cant hold my nerves. second half will be like horror thrillers.

 

[hiatus]

2 legs fellas let’s just mitigate the damage maybe nick a goal and move on to the next leg with Sonny available.

 

[Harrykane9]

You cant cover the pitch with 5 at the back simple. We needed to play 4-2-3-1 just match them

 

[AlabamaSpur]

I'm not saying I know more than Poch, but I just don't understand what benefit he sees in the back 3.
