Match Tottenham Hotspur VS Eintracht Frankfurt. Thursday 10th April 2025. 8pm KO

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

At home, that's a shameful performance.
Ah, I dunno...
Hitting the bar twice, the (reserve) 'keeper having a blinder, the ref absolutely shocking...

For once, it wasn't ALL on us!

Should be going to Germany with at LEAST a 2-goal lead though.
...but we're not.

Clearly us cruising through anything right now just isn't part of the remit!
 
We need to get players closer to Solanke , he’s always so isolated , we should have runners off him , nobody’s within 10 feet of him when he has the ball .
We haven't seen good service to the forwards in this system. The attack is a bit if a one trick pony and the one trick is a tap in at the far post. If Kane had stayed you'd be hearing how far he had fallen and that he was washed up. In fairness, we've gotten a good number of goals. It's just odd to see a team that has scored as many as Spurs have that really doesn't look very threatening most of the time.

Not sure about Ben, he could walk in the Summer with Danso signed and Dragusin still to come back. I think I would give him a season extension though, he never lets us down and so many of our defenders seem to be made of glass.
We have to let go at some point. Hopefully never never happen but imagine being in a coma and wake up 5 years later. Ask hows Tottenham doing? Ben davies still there.😀
 
It’s nothing to do with Solanke it’s everything to do with our shit tactics and our inept wingers. We’re not going to be able to judge Solanke until a new, competent manager is appointed
What absolute nonsense... It's got everything to do with solanke.. forget the hold up play distribution ect ect.. he's JOB is to 100% to make chances and failing that get on the end of things other players make , and ultimately to score. he isn't doing any of those things.. dont get me wrong he's got a decent enough skill set.. but a really top end striker, I'm yet to be convinced.
 
Whilst we made a bit of racket at various stages throughout... the Frankfurt fans were a bit good, weren't they?

I do always secretly envy that level of coordination and continued support...

Better than 'phones on, here comes the light show'!!

European/foreign support has a very different mentality to us when it comes to that.
 
I maintain we have 80 per cent top players. Just a manager who cant coach or develop players. Udogie dont look like hes been coached properly under Ange. Had a decent game tonight but imo on autopilot. I rate him.
I disagree

I think we have a bang average group of players that have been badly coached and managed for nearly two years now

80 percent would mean we're a top 3 or 4 side which we just aren't.


Who in our squad gets into a top 3 side? VDV possibly but his injuries would thwart that. Romero? Well his head is anywhere else but Spurs. Anyone else? Can't think of anyone

Don't get me wrong, they should definitely be higher than they are now, but this is a top 6 group of players at their very best.

1000 per cent agree. Not sure how many goals hes scored. Hes at a big club now and with that comes expectations. It's on Ange though saying to Levy pay up 65m for him.
