Serie A is rubbish and pedestrian and Turkey is even worse. This lot had zero physicality against us, none. They’re no match whatsoever for an even halfway motivated premier league side because the physicality gap is so big.
Gala absolutely smashed us last season. Dismiss as Angeball but they were quality
Some away trips to those cauldrons are hard but that’s it. A Turkish team going away to Norway on an artificial pitch aren’t going to fare nearly as well.
We should have far too much for Bodo. I know they’ve claimed some scalps but I saw nothing in our games to suggest anything other than if you are professional as a PL side you win.
Exactly. As our Norwegian guest says above, there's a gulf in terms of money and the (foreign) talent you can buy but for a few seasons now they have proved to be a compact, very well coached team with a strong sense of who they are. In Spanish we say "como una piña" - like a pineapple, in the "all for one" sense.Latest Bodo Glimt Results, Fixtures & Betting Odds | Soccer Base

Only 1 loss (Sturm Graz away UCL) since July. All comps 11-3-1.
Smashed Storm Gruz 5-0 at home, drew Slavia Prague away in the UCL.
Last season they won 3 home games on the trot in the UCL and got to the SF of the EL winning 6 out of 7 home games before they came up against the mighty Spurs.
So 11 home games in Europe last season and 9 wins.
To suggest they are laughable amateur fish canners who would struggle in the 4th Division is both insulting and demonstrably wrong.
I would imagine that Frank, being Danish, knows not to underestimate such teams.
As long as we stop them playing (as we did last season) I think we'll be fine. If we allow them room to start with the wing play, one touch, cut back stuff then they are dangerous. Be aggressive and they crumble.
Re: Lineup graphic formation.
If it’s true, that’s fair enough

It’s been proven time and again that teams overconfident fans call “farmers” can give us a game and even beat us. We’ve had two days rest, playing on a plastic pitch away in northern Norway in 10c weather. These guys are in the CL for a reason, I won’t be surprised if we draw or lose.Exactly.

I was at that game , it was one of the worst performances I’ve seen, and believe me there’s a fucking long list of those.*

"I know you gentlemen have been through a lot -but when you find the time, I'd rather not SPEND THE REST OF THIS WINTER - TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH! "Yeah but you guys still let that Dog Thing escape and get into McMurdo Station requiring a true hero in Kurt Russell to lay down his life to protect the world.
Stop digging around in thousand year old ice FFS
Ps: good luck tonight
The last time Spurs won three European games in a row away from home was in November 2013, all of which were 2-0 wins in the UEFA Europa League.
Love a bit of trivia.
Love a bit of trivia.
We beat them 5-1 on aggregate 4 months ago with a shit manager. Look at the comparisons in budget. We must win and nothing less. Tbh I dont like us chucking long throws in the box Reminds me of wimbledon!
Less pressure this time lest we forget, as in no 2 goal deficit to turnaround. Big difference.
Proper application and if we are fearless but also intent on going for the win.
If we are meek, and of course of we bring Christmas forward then we know the outcome.
All teams should use anythjngbthey have at their disposal.
I think the context today is different, although I do think we should be ensuring the gulf in class isn't neutralised by being away, and possibly a sense of Bodo seeking to exact revenge.
Let's just say we won't be facing Bodo in the semi-final of this competition..
Where would you like us to chuck them ?
I actually kind of agree by the way , but not sure throwing it back 5 yards for a hit and hope cross is more attractive.
So long term I’m not a fan , short term expediency until we get ( hopefully) more creative players in I can suffer .
I’ve been to Istanbul a few timesI was at that game , it was one of the worst performances I’ve seen, and believe me there’s a fucking long list of those.*

Now that is a blatant I’ve been to Istanbul brag
This lot all have an "English" team. So me thinks he does protest too much. Its probably United isn't fella? And
Phomesy
right apologise for what you did to Kurt Russell.
