Thought we played well last night.. showed good spirit in terms of the way we fought back from going a goal down. Dominated the 2nd half and should be going to Germany with a lead. No question the 2nd leg will be tough and our form doesn't suggest we should be considered favorites but it's not impossible.
Like with so many games under Ange I hope we can be tactically smart stay in the game and not throw it away early by conceding stupid early goals.
We have a good chance..... Its up to Ange & the players to put in a big performance in a big spot
Interesting results elsewhere with United throwing away an away leg lead, Athleti failing to beat 10 Rangers, & Lazio getting gubbed in Norway so all to play for.
Just hope Ange realizes it's not about playing great football... It's about getting over the line and getting the job done..... I'm hopeful but not confident
Last night

For all those people who keep going on about how many goals Spurs have scored in a woeful season.... I wish we could have take a few back in some of those lopsided 3,4 and five goal wins and kept a few for games like last night and some of the narrow loses and draws this season which have killed us

Maddison pretty much gave up the ball in the middle of the park and gifted them possession. Fell right into their trap.
Porro was of course out of position as well. Yeah great finish but was all abit too easy. What 2 passes?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you really this simple. The error was losing the ball and that was on Maddison BUT Porro is not out of position because we were in possession. Do you expect Porro to hang back at RB the whole game. Do you even watch football. How do you think we scored? by the full backs not stepping over half way?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I expect a defender to sniff the danger and snuff it out. The scorer peeled of Romero into Porro's space. Porro saw him but neglected him and caught on the hop.
At one point in the first half, both our full backs were in the CM position and were about 10 yards apart lol. It's crazy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rubbish! The ball is played out to the guy on our right but by the time he's half way inside our half, he's confronted with Porro who has recovered his position. He comes inside and shoots.
If i am critical of anyone in that piece its VDV who instead of holding the edge of box line (where he would have been a more effective blocker of that shot, he drops deep. Ultimately is a 3 v 6 position, both FBs in position, some slight details wrong in terms of where the CBs position themselves and a very good finish. It is not an example of the poor defending too easy to play against that we do see quite often.

I'm strangely optimistic. We were the better team yesterday by a fair distance so there's no reason why we can't go there and get a narrow win. We'll rest players but Wolves away will be a good preparation game as they are similar teams that break quick and have a good finisher but will need to go forward at home.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not, but then I'm also not upset with the players or even Ange. I thought we played well. I'm just pissssed off that the footballing gods ignored us once again. We never, ever get a break.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think the football Gods have watched this season and determined we are undeserving of a sprinkling of luck.... Came back to bite us last night
They punished United too by having Onana in goal
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The footballing gods are currently residing in the other half of north london. Having watched the injustice that the poor gooons have suffered all season with refs and var and the FA and the PL and even the weather, length of grass and lightness of the ball all against them, the Gods have stepped in to balance things up. Rice's goals are clear evidence of that.

Agree, it's meaningless. Scoring goals at this rate is a consequence of high risk football. If you commit bodies forward, you're going to score a load but you're also going to give up chances which we do in every single game.
If you're the second top scorers in the league and you sit in 14th, something is drastically wrong with your approach.
