Tottenham Hotspur FC v Sport Lisboa e Benfica

[Lister]

Couldnt tell you, just seems like the obvious compromise IMO.

WOuld have gone Townsend LW, Eriksen in Kanes place myself

 

[Buggot]

In other matches, Valencia is 3-0 up :O

In other matches, Valencia is 3-0 up :O

Scoring two of those while having one player less on the pitch, pretty impressive.

 

[Londonderry-Spur]

Kane playing and not soldado pretty confusing

 

[TheCockerel1882]

Do they hand match programs out for free? What is in them?

£3.50

Couple of shit interviews about 'bouncing back' and the 'importance of Europa League and a trophy'

i hope these last two weeks are not where we look back and say "this is where tim sherwood lost it at spurs"

 

[LarryCatt]

The fuck is that team??

That is a resignation letter team. Jesus.

Kane. In front of Soldado. At any point. That, to me, just smacks of a manager with an out of control ego who has lost the plot. Big time.

I don't like Naughton and Soldado out for Kane is a little odd, but why?

Harry Kane's ascension, we'll look back at this and think "lol we used to play him behind Adebayor and Soldado"

Hence forth he shall be known as Lis-bane

 

[Yid7]

soldado scored against cardiff from open play, gets dropped for next two matches

wtf

Timmy don't want it going to his head

 

[Elspur]

Mm, could very well happen. I don't know too much about Benfica's line-up or strengths, do they play anyone special on their right?

Eduardo Salvio normally plays right wing for them. Tricky and VERY quick! Could be a weak point for us tonight!

 

[Raven_Spurs]

Is Sigurdsson injured again or why isn't he in the squad?

 

[frontwheel]

I like the lineup, but I really wanted Soldado to start.

Oh and is Dembele injured?
Or could it be more to it ... ala TS's standpoint on the less passionate ones.

Can't see this on my phone with E reception. :-( Someone post the teams please (as text)

Kane is the new Bale. Benfica is just the Portugese Inter Milan. It's written in the stars.

 

[Super Jan Fan]

Kane has played well when he has played. Why not give him a chance? Not as if Soldado is unbenchable this season is it?!
Naughton at LB always worries me but it is what it is.

2 left backs on the bench, non on the pitch? Interesting.
