Big well done to the team. I called this one wrong, but am delighted to be wrong. Tremendous performance and fantastic result.

Sets up the rest of the season nicely. COYS :)
 
It was definitely an improvement, but I'm desperate for him to actually score.

Hopefully he'll play a blinder against those commie cunts.


I was being a tad sarcastic. He was very average today but he definitely had a few moments.

I was impressed with Gallas today. He worked very hard.still made mistakes but played with his all. I appreciate that. This was a tough game. I love he fact we won it at the end. It shows boas has uis ticking along well. The game is 90mins. I have seen countless spurs sides give up too early.

Very happy.
 
No, I thought that you might have been, but I do think his performance was an improvement. He lacked a bit of explosiveness, but he still worked left, right, and center, and that ball to Bale was fucking superb.

I was more disappointed with Holtby, who showed a lot of effort, but was mostly anonymous and had a hard time getting in to the game today.
 
That ball was majestic.

It just go's to show what the twat is capable of.

I thought holtby was ok. Think of his age. Parker was poor today. Didn't think I would say that.
 
I thought all the team did well under very difficult circumstances, and we deserved to go through against a disappointingly negative Lyon, who got the justice they deserved.
 
How cold! What a win though , this team never gives up i cant recall when we had a side like that.
We'll score when we want, we'll score when want we're Tottenham hotspur we'll score when we want
 
Well chuffed with the result. Thought we played well. Some frustrating moments but I have to say even in the last 5 minutes I had faith. Lyon were just sitting back and letting us have at them. I never thought Moussa would be the key though. So happy for him.
 
Anyone else thinks that Dembele's poor run of form recently is due to the fact that Holtby demands more of the ball and Moose had to adapt to that , oh and not having the beast himself next to him means he needs to do a lot more challenging and running around. Don't get me wrong , i think Holtby is a very good addition to the team.
 
i'm quite worried that bale is only 1 yellow again from a european suspension. hopefully we can smash inter about 4 - 0 at the lane and bale can get himself booked in the 93rd minute

I thinks its more to do with his midfield partner. Parker is playing poorly, he's missing a lot of easy passes and just looks fucked now. Sandro on the other hand is a BEAST next to Dembele and just gives Mousa more freedom in midfield.

I'm worried about Parker in midfield with the run in we've got.
 
Dembele has been poor in recent games but I'm also still remembering he is carrying an injury to his hip that I doubt will get sorted until end of the season.
As for parker last year he was feeding modric dembele is a totally different type of player so think that part of the issue they are not firing together.
 
Nothing to do with Holtby, the issue is that he's playing alongside Parker rather than Sandro.

Or the fact that his hip is in constant pain.....

I just hope his dedication to playing for the team won't cause additional harm. I will make a sigh of relief when the season ends so he can go and get his treatment.
