    Clearly they didn't scout at Newcastle, just the bloody summer!

    Even then, he'd probably end up as the left centre-half, as Pochettino seems to have gone off Wimmer.
    Davies has done that job well for Wales.

    This is awful...7 good minutes is simply appalling...they look like the second favourites to win the competition and we look like a mid table team.

    I know we are missing Rose and Vertongen and Lamela but the lack of effort and energy is pretty shocking

    Once again I am feeling sorry for our fans that made the journey. There was a radio show comment that comes to mind:-

    IT'S AGONY, IVY!

    They're bringing on Koulibaly. Clearly think that they can kill the tie tonight.

    What all this talk is exposing is our lack of strength in depth.

    Finally Nkoudou gets on the pitch!

    But when you don't have like for like players to just come in off the bench to replace your best players (not many teams have), you have to change shape and adapt to the players you do have. Davies is a good defender, but he's getting shafted on the left right now. It we had some pace in front of him who was attacking the opposition frequently or giving them a danger to think about, Davies wouldn't be under as much pressure defensively, or be made to look so vulnerable.

    No away goal means we are really out if they score next week.

    Alli booked for dissent. Stupid. Needs to sort that **** out. Really doesn't help us or him.

    We could play all night and won't score. We look like we have no confidence. God knows where it went but our season is in danger of becoming a slog if this keeps up

    Nkoudou on now so let's hope things improve going forward as well as at the back

    Should be 2-0. More shocking defending.

    They are the more likely scorers in the final 15 mins.
    We are a shadow of the team of just 4 games ago

    With 15 mins to go and a goal behind, now isn't the time to judge it. We're chasing, where as at 0-0 at the start of the game, it's a completely different scenario. - initial game plan tactics can be implemented.

    We look a total mess at the back. Half of our defence can't play in this system.
