Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Borussia Dortmund

I'm amazed there's any seats left for fans...

 

Lloris (c), Trippier, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Davies; Dier, Mason; Chadli, Alli, Lamela; Son

#THFC subs: Vorm, Carter-Vickers, Rose, Carroll, Onomah, Winks, Kane #COYS


Have to say, I'm slightly baffled by how strong we've decided to go now. Also don't get why if we're playing Toby, dier, Lloris, Alli etc, we're not just chucking Kane into the mix as well?

Why didn't we do this away from home before we went 3-0 down?

 

Lloris (c); Trippier, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Davies; Dier, Mason; Chadli, Alli, Lamela; Son
Subs: Vorm, Carter-Vickers, Rose, Carroll, Onomah, Winks, Kane

 

So Dier and Alli will turn 0-3 into 3-0 ??

 

At the very least it should help 3-0 be turned into 6-0...

 

Would've preffered dier and alli on the bench also but at least kane isn't playing

 

I suspect this relatively strong line up is to make amends for the away fixture, and the fans who purchased tickets for this fixture prior to the 3-0 battering.

 

I've no sympathy for those fans who bought tickets. We've not played our first 11 in any europa game so don't expect us too now

 

True, but we had put much stronger line ups out in the earlier stages than we did last week, and showed much more intent. They only had that to go on.

 

I think MP has been listening to Spurcat...probably take off a few players at half-time if Spurs are clearly not going to win.

 

Son looks like he's been told to close down as quickly as humanly possible. Rapid.

 

Great result at the Stadio Olimpico: Sparta Prague beat Lazio 3-0, going through 4-1 on aggregate.

 

Davies looks ****ed. Bad knock to the head, that.

 

Great start!

 

Davies replaced by Rose. One sub down after barely ten minutes. Balls.
Hope he's alright.

 

Looked like a forearm square on the jaw rather than a concussive head injury.

 

Son as s striker. What? Does anyone know if Pav is busy with anything this time of year?

 

He's currently doing nothing of note at Kuban Krasnodar - although he will be a free agent at the end of June.

 

Decent few minutes and our first real chance.
Not bad by Dier, but they had a man on the line and their marking wasn't too bad, either.

 

Really hope we test this Dortmund defence and goalkeeper. We know they're awesome going forward, but in the few chances we had last week, they didn't look completely comfortable. We've got enough going forward to cause them problems tonight.
