This is the sort of tie you would relish having a more defensively competent coach for, with the domestic form Frankfurt are in and the extra day of rest we should really just be trying to keep ourselves in the tie in the away leg, unfortunately I think playing away first really goes against us as Frankfurt bringing any kind of lead to us is terrifying, the way we have been utterly nullified by much less competent teams all season who simply wanted to not concede against us, does not bode well. I think realistically we need to avoid losing this one or we are out, if Frankfurt can come to us and play on the break we probably won't score in a month of sundays against them.
The fact is, our team – and therefore we fans – are very happy with the surface because we've only lost a few home games.
Seriously: As far as I know, the "new turf" is really good.
The ball is rolling, technical highlights are possible, goals are too, and there are no moles – no opponent has had to complain since the European Championship.
Here's to a good game and cheers!
Winning.
Up and down.
A 4-2-3-1 system. Initially, Toppmöller emphasized possession.
We had it. Up to the halfway line and then back to the goalkeeper, ideally for 90 minutes.
The fans became dissatisfied because Glasner had previously played very attractive football.
Toppmöller then got it, and now we play fast football, not rashly charging the ball forward, but setting up the fast players at the right moment.
If they want to - they can do it!
What's really fun are the games in which you can tell the team is determined not to lose the ball, that their defense starts with Ekitiké and ends with Trapp or now Santos.
"The old man" Götze is an incredible strength for the team as a number 10. He distributes what needs to be distributed well and makes the game even more attractive.
Only the utilization of opportunities in the Bundesliga is a "worry."
Who's your money on, Frankfurter? Is it another day of woe or do we stand a fair chance?
QQ - why are we at home in the first leg, when the draw was predetermined and we finished above them on the league table, surely that should have been an advantage, and the team with the higher finish play at home in the second leg? 
I was boogying at the Halikarnas open air nightclub in Turkey when I first heard Right in the Night!Have been reading up on Frankfurt looking for any cultural points of interest. Best I could find is that the band Jam & Spoon came from there. One of them is now sadly dead. Their album Tripomatic Fairytales was one of my earliest album purchases back in around 1991. Let’s hope for a Stella performance and that we get it Right In The Night.
Great dance track!
Seriously: Tottenham will win 2:0, and in Frankfurt 2:2.
Sounds ominous...
Last time we had a clean sheet was over a month ago. We are shutting no one down.
I hate frankfurter sausages so didn’t consider them. British bangers all day long for me.

Saints Ipswich Leics City have all scored against us last few weeks
can't stop champo clubs from scoring
barely managed it v Tamworth FFS
In other words - a decent side.
Not sure that translates to anything positive.
