Match Tottenham Hotspur VS Eintracht Frankfurt. Thursday 10th April 2025. 8pm KO

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I might be wrong but I thought I saw the substitutions today at about 75 minutes. We were a bit leggy at about 65 minutes and were being pressed back, until eventually the subs came on.
You're right that's why I put that bracket of 60mins-70mins+ always between those times.

I dunno - he always brings a late late sub as well that never does anything.

Hey at least we didn't lose...
 
We played ok, especially at the beginning of the second half.

But our attackers were terrible. I just can't with Johnson anymore. A couple of shitty goals against the worst PL side ever, giving it the billy big bollocks in a press conference and then he plays like that.

:myword:
 
When we conceded so early, thought 'here we go again' - good goal TBF.
Then when we equalised, more a sense of relief than joy.
Second half, thought we had a spell when we played really well, but that's when we have to press the advantage and score! Lucas so unlucky, what a sweet strike that was. Sonny had a great shot superbly saved and think Romero hit the bar.
Thought Destiny and Lucas were probably our best players, but thought most of them looked up for it.
As we seem to have sacked off the league and putting all our eggs in the EL basket, the subs (especially Richie) should have had more minutes.
Think it will be tough to get anything in the second leg, we needed a cushion of at least two goals for me to feel reasonably confident of progressing. But hope springs eternal and stranger things have happened in our history.
 
What mistakes Tottenham made when we made it 1-0!

The 1-1 was a dream!

And then the class difference became apparent!
We were lucky to have Kaua Santos' excellent performance.
We were lucky that the posts and crossbar were in the right place!
The ref - he was no homeref (here also good luch for us)!

The Eintracht Frankfurt fans were loud (you can always rely on them), the atmosphere of the Spurs fans – sensational!

The return leg will be exciting to the point of a heart attack (I'll take my medication with me!), and I'm already looking forward to the hopefully sensational atmosphere from both fan bases!
It will be incredibly difficult for us – in the second half we only stand in the box.

Looking forward to Thursday, April 17th!
Hope you're so friendly next week if we knock you out.👍
 
If Ange has savvy from tonight next week aim for bentacur for our set pieces. Its winnable next week if players play like leaders.
This is the thing. There don’t seem to be many leaders out there. If the players don’t feel as though Ange is getting them to play the way that gets the best out of the team then they should show some character and ignore him and play the way they want next Thursday. If they lose Ange is a gonna anyway so it won’t really matter. Our squad is good enough to win this competition but not with these tactics
 
If that horribly choreographed, paint-by-numbers standard-German singing is what you mean by “intimidating”…well, I’d find a troupe of Brownies more scary to be honest…
No, Frankfurt have Ultras for sure and do that stuff, but it is different to Bayern or Leverkusen (or even Dortmund), the whole stadium will be standing up and bouncing.
 
I'd play Tel up top. Being ex bayern and bundesliga.
He's to light weight... Their CBS would absolutely eat him alive. I'de stick with Dom and give richi 30 mins.... Losing his spot to Dom out and injured for so long i'de say he might well have a bit of a point to prove !!
Something I absolutely love seeing in players and when he's up and running and playing down the center.. NOT out wide..he's bloody effective..
..
 
And also while I'm on a rant


What the fuck was Richarlison supposed to do when he's brought on in the 88th minutes?


Talk about a fucking fuckwit of a substitution...... What kind of prick thinks that's a good idea with about 90 seconds of normal time remaining.

It's like he was just trying to waste time

Fucks sake.
 
We have the players imo. Well about 80 percent are good. Solanke, Richarlison, Son, Bissouma, Davies can go.
We have the players.....but almost our whole front line needs to go?!?

Ron Burgundy What GIF
