Too early for this sub man. I don't think the game plan changes much despite the red card. Qarabag look happy for us to control the game even with ten.
I don't know how we're not losing this. Qarabag have let us off lightly that half. I can almost accept doing dumb shit for 45 minutes but at least be smarter than that that close to HT. Fortunate that Vicario bailed us out there because it was a horrendous backpass. Solanke and Gray have impressed me. Every time Qarabag beat our press we're in trouble though. Can't really see us keeping a clean sheet.
North London coaching Arteta gets slaughtered for being so defensive. We are the complete opposite. 2-0 up with ten men and we're playing basketball.
I've only seen bits and pieces of this but in those bits and pieces I've seen 5 clear qarabag chances. Spurs are lucky they are not playing a side with decent finishers
They’re trying to score headers from the edge of the box now A truly laughable lack of cutting edge. Fully respect Spurs not giving a **** about them…..they don’t need to
Good showing by Spurs all things considering. Now 3-0 somehow. Drama all around Europe . From the BBC. A late header from Aitor Paredes saw Athletic Bilbao grab a good 1-1 draw away at Roma. There was late drama in Germany after Eintracht Frankfurt had been 3-1 up, but late goals from Prince Kwabena Adu and one in the third minute of injury time from Vaclav Jemelka saw Viktoria Plzen snatch a point in a thrilling 3-3 draw. Sporting Braga also were involved in a thrilling turnaround. One down to Maccabi Tel Aviv in the 88th minute, two late goals from Bruma, including a 95th-minute penalty, gave the Portuguese side an incredible 2-1 win.
Good grief, a man advantage from the 8th minute and still losing 3-0 Qarabag must be awful, I bet United wish they'd have drawn them, they may have just beat them
They’ve been that bad, it’s made me an enemy of them. I hope they lose every game they ever play again.
All joking aside, it was a ridiculous performance really. Quite frustrating even an easy game on paper we've ended up making more difficult than it needed to be. Not the greatest preparation for Sunday. For some reason United played a day earlier, our game was delayed and we've then had to put in more work because of the early red card. Really liking Solanke. I haven't seen enough of him to be sold on in-the-box Solanke but he brings so much else that I think he'd make up for not being so prolific. It was nice to see him score again though. The big positive is we start the competition with a win. I don't think we'll win all of our Europa games so getting 3 points in the easier games will be important.
The good news is a win like this motivates a team. Playing a man down and still winning by 3 with a clean sheet will boost the morale. Son has some tightness but hopefully nothing serious. Besides Solanke and VdV the rest of the main starters should be rested enough for Sunday.
