At least it'll make the second leg interesting .................................. I suppose that will be the party line!

Not to mention the lack of nail technicians at HT .
TBF : grim conditions for our players to be expected to “ perform “ in .
Just to put things into some sort of perspective.
At home, but makes zero difference… spurs are not the favourites according to the bookies
I've read variations of that paragraph for about 6 months now
Couldn't catch the game, but looks like I was lucky. Those stats are appalling.
We're at home, not that that makes it much better...
1 nil, we're still in it, no fucking way will we win EL though, that's just for the deluded.
Let's just move on.
Let's just move on.
The half time sub was just insulting. I feel so bad for Scarlett, we needed a striker out there not another ineffective winger.
Tricky pitch.............. Fuck me
Positives -
the scoreline, only one, we're still in the tie I guess
Gray - excellent again, reads the ball brilliantly, incredible defensive instincts, calm composed.
Bergvall, composed himself well after the error, not blaming him, got on the ball well lacked an out ball and support around him.
Vicario - some very good saves and the right attitude
Solanke - looked busy, made an impact, hopefully just a knock and ok for next week, sunday doesn't matter
Spence - Good again. dunno where we'd be without him.
NOW..........................................
Negatives
Udogie - slow, constantly needs an extra touch, won't pass first time, won't get forward. what happened man? maybe the injury still telling....
Danso - Liked him so far BUT sloppy tonight, took too many touches too, sloppy in possession and it nearly cost us twice with dangerous conceded chances
Bentancur - Petulant yellow, lazy player just walks everywhere, constantly slowing the play down again and again allowing them to get behind the ball. Fucking infuriating. one time in the last min he ACTUALLY fucking has a go and beats 3/4 men? why wait till 93mins! he's also invisible in defence. Son lost the ball once and they ran right through an empty midfield? where the fuck was he? felt Berg was on his own.
Maddison- I dunno man, what is the point of you? mentally weak, the fist to hide. A CLASSIC Tottenham player a bit of pressure, wilts. and that FK with Son? unacceptalbe.
Johnson - Christ. Can't dribble, only passes backwards, took a man on once by accident and the ball ballooned back off him to the opp. if he's not at the back post to score -he's nowhere, in fact he's a weight to carry.
Odobert- has looked bright of late and I suppose to his credit tried to take on his man but did it 4/5 times and lost the ball EVERY time. he
Son - again, awful, refuses to take a man on, constantly passed back to a mid or DF allowing AZ to get players back and reset.
Ange - the tactics. we're so easy and predictable. even what we used to do well - play it out from the back, the opp have seen it, they know it, they trigger press it and we lose the ball or just pass the ball out of play. He doesn't know how to adapt and honestly I think, when we win it's in spite of him.
he has to go.

And it's been like this away in Europe for 6 years. Mourinho, Conte, Postecoglou - almost every single away game has been absolute torture. So fucking passive all of the time. Beaten before we step onto the pitch. Win a fucking second ball! Start with the basics ffs.
It's just the same empty rhetoric mate. A line they trot out when "we will learn from this" has been a bit over used.
The truth is, yes the manager is shit, yes the tactics are terrible.
But also we don't have a single winner in our squad. They are all weak mentally.
We've seen it hundreds of times under a dozen different managers.
When it really matters they collectively freeze.
So you disagree?
Performance stank. Hope he gets a dutch oven tonight.
Not that it will make a difference, but we're at home!
I have no idea how we're among the bookies' favourites.
One of the more bizarre things I've seen in betting markets. Who on earth is lumping on? On what basis?
So yes,but that's what a manager is there to instill. Don't just talk it but create it.
But when you have dimwit tactics and garbage in the way of coaching coherence,what does anyone expect?
