Udogie played well imo.

Comparing Udogie to Spence, he was nowhere near good. He runs without any idea of what he wants to achieve. Numerous times he ran toward Maddison and Son, making so much easier for Zonal defenders to mark the 3 of them. He does just what Ange wants, that is why Clueless Ange plays him. Spence tends to remain wide more. Works well for us but isn't in Ange's stupid plan. That's why Spence was on the bench. Arguably our 2 best performing players, Spence and Gray, both on the bench.
Yesterday his runs were very good and overlapped Son many times in which he was able to put the ball into the box numerous times.
He made the runs, he can't help that a lot of times Son ball hogs and ignores the run a lot of times (or releases too late).
We'll agree to disagree. Udogie is a good WB. He can't play inverted crap. I don't think he is useless. But Spence or Udogie? No contest. The winner is clear
He was our only player beating a man. Berg did a few bits but mainly MADDs was the one looking to make telling passes.
There was a 20 minute spell in the second half, where we played really well but we were unlucky not to score at least twice.
The trouble is games last for 90 minutes!
Last night was a missed opportunity I think, hopefully the team can get a result in the second leg.
But with our defence we are always likely to fold.
A real season to forget, manager knows he is toast, just dragging his heels for the next few weeks.

First half he underlapped well ahead of Son, basically turned Son into a WB, several times. There's really no way you can say "his runs were very good" when at least some of them were so very bad.
I will admit that he did overlap a couple times, and did put in one decent looking cross, which absolutely shocked me. Therefore I wouldn't say "all his runs were poor"- there were at least a few that were good.
In general he constantly occupies the space Son needs to operate in. He makes Son less effective overall. Obviously this is Ange's fault as he has coached him into doing it, but it's terrible coaching and tactics, and has made a waste out of the twilight of Son's Spurs career.
Disappointed to only draw last night. It was a much improved performance but then the bar has been set really low all season!
Same old defensive shape and errors are still evident, lucky for us Frankfurt had little up front!
Bergvall was the stand out man of the match.

No spoilers, I’ve only just seen the first commitment ceremony!Wonder if he's catching up on Married at First Sight Australia, that's what I'll be doing when I get home!
Obvs wasn’t fit to play annoyingly
He did. He had his best game in a long time he created some great attacks.
And this is the problem. On those rare occasions where we do actually play quite well (even for a half) we're too wasteful with chances in front of goal. It's all huff and puff and Ange saying, "the lads gave everything". Their keeper played very well, but if we can't score when we're dominating it IS a problem. And if the lads gave everything, then they're just not good enough at this level.
I'm not confident about next week, but anything is possible so I'll keep hoping.
Really? I thought Bergvall was largely anonymous bar that big moment when he hit the post. He was also at fault for the goal as he jogged bag and then got there too late to cut off the inside lane on the striker. He does it a lot in terms of jogging back. When I watch psg, Woolwich etc their midfields charge back to get back in shape
Jesus Christ. You’re all so depressing… we played very well, we dominated, on another day we score 5 can’t you all just be slightly positive for once. We are clearly significantly better than Frankfurt, let’s be positive and we can go and get a result. Frankfurt will be worried at how much we outplayed and dominated them, hopefully odobert and kulu can play next week so we have more attacking threats also.
Really poor decision not playing Spence
We get the logic. But we’ve been here too many times
We have a dreadful coach. Dreadful
But I hope you’re right. COYS!
Best performance from the crowd snd the team last night - funny that!
