Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Bayer Leverkusen

Their 2 furthest forward players are desperately trying to stop us from getting the ball out of our final 3rd. - and it's working. need to see someone else drop and provide and option so we can get the ball forward.

 

Tah escapes a booking? Bit lucky.

 

What's Sissoko doing there? Not direct enough. He had acres to run into.

 

Monaco have taken the lead against CSKA. Not ideal.

 

Never a free kick. Touch a player in this competition and you give away a foul

 

Monaco have taken the lead.

 

All a bit headless atm...c'mon lads!

 

Leverkusen are playing us better at our own game at the moment. The infuriating thing is that they did last time, too. Nothing learned it seems. Has Son touched the ball yet?

 

Much better, keep it up lads.

 

Alli and Sissoko at least looking busy. Eriksen doing **** all.

 

Eriksen & Dembele are passengers at the moment. Really poor so far.

 

What's going on with Eriksen? He's playing so poorly at the moment.

 

There seems to be a conspiracy amongst the players to give me a heart attack whenever the ball gets near our box.

 

Good run by Sissoko, but a poor cross. Surprised at Leno dropping that.

 

Only positive is they look a bit shaky at the back as well

 

Keeper spills the cross, Alli isn't there to mop up. Why? Because he's dropping deep every three seconds to compensate for the fact that Dembele currently looks incapable of lacing his boots.

 

Our passing is embarrassingly bad.

 

Good pressing by Sissoko, then a ridiculously bad pass. That's awful.

 

Their pressing game has been good so far, but if they keep trying to commit players forward like they are currently doing, when we counter they will find themselves completely outnumbered. There's been a few occasions where they've looked short at the back. Gotta capitalise on it.

 

The difference in quality between the city match last night and this is unbelievable
