Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v AZ Alkmaar

Goooooaaaallll

 

Good pressing from Son, better finish by Odobert.

 

Btw. That goal came from Son. Put some respect on his name

 

The social media admin unwittingly reminded everyone of that scene from Cast Away in response...

 

Wilson?

It will just make it more painful when we lose on penalties

Much better from Son the last 5 mins. He’s such a confidence player

 

just said that to my lad

when we are flat he is very flat but when we are purring he’s a lion

 

Sonny boy hungry for a goal

I think he will get one too

 

They've just thrown themselves to the floor and wasted time from minute one.

 

Sonny has turned his game around. Good to see. Helped by his marker giving him more space.

We needed that goal so we could settle down a bit

2nd half lottery coming up

which Spurs are we going to see?

 

Well, we are at least still well in the tie and if we can keep the effort level up then we can win this.
But what is disappointing is the fact that AZ are very, very poor - and we played so badly last week that they looked world-beaters.

 

Son grew into the game and worked hard...same as the rest of the team. Parrott is such a diving twat of a player.

Maddison has been pretty meh but think we've pushed them back for most of the game.

Still the balance though.

Fans in south stand playing a blinder

 

Dead game to be honest, thought we’d be a bit more livelier considering what’s riding on it.

Good bit of pressing from Son and then a nice finish from Odobert but we’ve not really tested their keeper outside of that.

 

Bergvall is such a dynamic player. Shows up those around him - particularly Maddison. But Sarr has been pretty anonymous so far.

 

One cross I think is the sum total. There's not a lot of creativity and Solanke (working hard as usual) is almost inevitably isolated.
