Only Spurs rush in: it's the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2018/2019 thread

Very lucky not to be two.

Pffff

xp yeah!

Van de Beek had so much time to tip that in, I think he grew his first hair on his chin during that time. smdh

Crisis at the moment.

Think he was just on but there was only one replay.

(Fernando are you LG in disguise? Have to ask, sorry)

Ajax 66% possession ffs

They’re making Spurs look like a League One team. Absolutely wouldn’t bet against them turning Barca over.

this is like watching an FA cup game with two divisions between the teams, absolute humiliation

lol xp

xp otm. What are Spurs even doing? Can't detect any actual plan or tactic. Or want.

Dang. This will end 0-3, at least.

Tbf Spurs have no outlet or pace up front with the injuries.

Worst game of Son's career to miss out on.

Oofff. Vertonghen is bleeding to death :(

We have nothing in midfield either, Wanyama can't pass and Eriksen is too far up the pitch.

Oh and our centre backs are both dead now, yay.

Llorente has actually done okay given his ludicrous unsuitability for the task the circumstances demand.

I am weirdly relaxed about this given how ludicrous the idea of Spurs in the Champions League final is.

Where the hell is deems btw

Amsterdam.

i'll fill in for deems:

the ref - who is a cunt - is biased against spurs (for no reason)

p sure the authorities would've notified me in advance tbh xp

xp lol

keen to see the Dele Alli heat dot at half time

Poch out, surely? (xp)

Jan is properly half dead.

Sissoko will save us.

That was slightly disturbing, watching JV in that state.

If this is anyone's game it's Sissoko's tbf

Yeah that was really horrible, vertonghen's reaction, hope he's ok

xp

Similar but slightly lesser incident with Fabinho against Cardiff. Football needs some sort of head injury protocol.

There are protocols iirc, but they won't help if a club sends a player back on the pitch. Protocols aren't needed really, common sense should be enough.

I guess by protocol I meant it would demand they have to take players off, similar to rugby, that sort of magic sponge vibe there doesn't seem very safe at all and it can't be a team or a manager or a player making the call.

medical staff clearly has no influence whatsoever in football. (or are morally and monetarily corrupt, :P )

wtf was poch thinking with this set up

So mad I'm missing this!

Spurs more lively now, finally.

Ajax neutralised in the second half now. Shame Spurs don't have any firepower. Not even a tiny bit.

Trippier = wasteman

Amazing how much better this is than the first half. Make Sissoko the club's highest paid player immediately.

Sissoko's appearance changed the whole match, it's amazing really.

I mean on retrospect it was a very bad idea to be a man short in midfield when they have one of the most talented young playmakers in world football running the show.

Aye, Poch out obv.

Spurs prob need to score at least two in 20 mins to feel like they can get a result next week tho.

The amount of space that Danny Rose is getting on the left is ridiculous.

Inspirational double fullback substitution there. Foyth should not be on the pitch in a CL semi final.

About 15 of the 22 players here should not be on the pitch in a CL semi final tbh.

every time Eriksen is called upon to either thread a pass or find someone at a setpiece Ajax can rest easy

Disappointing from both sides, this.

Fairly relieved tbh.

ajax were great when spurs gave them all that space but otherwise that was p shit

Yeah I can see that. Still a mountain to climb for youse imo xp

fairly sure that's the end of the line but yeah not overly vexed all told

Kane would've taken a couple of those chances mind

1-0 at home isn't that bad a result. Spurs can score twice in Amsterdam with Son back.

Not sure if Kane would've made much of a difference, Spurs didn't have a lot of good chances to finish. Son is another matter.

“We made them look a lot better. They are a good side, but we helped them along the way. It was our fault. We were better in the second half."

Eriksen otm. Spurs made Ajax look better than they are.
