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

Ouch.

I preferred it when Gnabry was just some Wenger Carabao squad loser.

I was going to say, didn't he used to play for... then thought better of it.

Oh dear.

Haha.

Lol Bayern scored two in the time it took me to go to the bathroom and clean my teeth

are tottenham still a big club

At this rate they'll double the number of goals we've conceded at this stadium in one night.

lolz

ah no srsly look when glc is fit our defence will just work poch in, throw another 5m at him actually, that will make the players try harder which is all thats wrong

Oh and another one while I was posting about it :O

This is worse than Celtic in the Champions League.

I was about to say you aren’t brushing long enough if they only scored two.

no listen the instructions are clear now is the time to be so so certain that the enerheehaaw is eneheehaww heeeeehaaawwwa

We just gave up. Something must be wrong in the dressing room.

Lol, shambles. BBC all sorts of confused:

A night to forget

Tottenham 2-7 Dinamo Zagreb

Ouch.

that defensive set up must destroy vertonghen, alderweireld and lloris tbf.

from a tight knit unit with that sweeper role for lloris and a brief to play themselves, theyre now this "deal with everything" panacea and the sweeper is now a farcical false 6.

its a complete cop out from pochettino to continue with this failed tactic that suits none of our players and if he doesnt unbend his neck hes gone by brexit.

Mike: Serge Gnabry may be able to score a hat-trick in the CL but he's still not good enough to play for West Brom who are currently losing to Leeds.

You simply love to see it <3

last few weeks have probably been useful in making the fact that we're at least as long-term fucked as Arsenal or Man U into something like a mainstream opinion

Lack of a defensive midfielder is really not helping either, Winks is transparently not that player. Dier has the ability to drop into a back three but, on the other hand, has been absolutely awful for two years now.

Right, now Liverpool have thrown away a three goal lead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

... spoke too soon.

Spurs get back onto level GD in just one match and if they win their next one are virtually through to the knockout stages

(normal service likely to resume at anfield on sunday though)

just for some real talk perspective you were playing a club with a starting XI that included fucking Van la Parra!

yep agreed.

nice palate cleanser but we're a shit club in a great stadium until we win a few league games

Genuinely shocked to see fucking Chelsea actually playing half-decent, attacking football. Hadn't seen them since last season. Another case of a transfer ban being a blessing in disguise, it seems.

gosh, VAR's a tremendous improvement to football

Ha, yeah. Heard they have "3D offside software" that can detect a player being offside by tenths of a millimeter. Come now.

why do i get the impression that everybody involved in running football spent more time as kids whining about whether a goal crossed the jumpers than actually playing the fucking game?

NV both lol and otm, sadly.

Chelsea vs Ajax, 1-1. After 4 minutes.

if you wanted var to work, and its clear that they dont, youd simply say clear daylight between attacker and last man and make no apologies about favouring the former. thatd be the end of it.

Napoli-Salzburg is wide open. It’s 0-1 Salzburg but could be 2-2.

Promes w/ 1-2. Never thought I'd say this but please Chelsea, hurt 'm.

Deems otm btw.

VdV has been publicly talking Ziyech to Spurs lately btw. He'd be great for youse.

Right on cue.

Did I mention Ziyech? I think I did. 1-3.

I hate this Ajax but you have to love this Ajax :-S

xp

VdV would have been proud of that.

Def! Arsenal were in doubt this summer, buying Pepe or Ziyech. They decided on Pepe and paid 80m for him. I don't think Pepe can not be of use, but c'mon.

Chucky equalises for Napoli.

this ajax team are a dream, itsblike watching a team from the 90s when i could love things and not just criticise their imperfections

He's sorely missed around these parts ;_;

xp

Deems, sadly, otm.

They're so dreamlike they even have a spot for Daley fucking Blind and it still doesn't hurt them

certainly i got sad writing it idk strange times

i could do with a daley fucking blind tbh

Liverpool can't keep a clean sheet lately. One shot, one goal for Genk in that 1st half.

certainly i got sad writing it idk strange times
