Spurs in Europe - Europa League '13-'14 [R]

Nice header from Soldado. 1-0

 

Andre looking very dapper with the haircut.

 

2-0 beautiful, Lamela rolling it in to Soldado.

 

That was beautiful. Soldado makes it 2-0

 

WHAT A GOAL! AND WHAT A PASS!!!!!!

THAT IS OUR FUTURE!

 

Two goals for Soldado inside a half.

 

Nice work from Dembele and Lamela to feed him.

 

nice second goal from Soldado!

 

I think that is our problem, Holtby is adding so much playing deep from a passing standpoint but Dembele is such a strong dribbler. Then on top of that you have Sandro and Paulinho, 4 very different types of players that all deserve to start. A Dembele + Sandro + Holtby midfield 3 would be fantastic IMO

 

I think Paulinho is vital, Dembele-Sandro-Holtby has nobody who is comfortable getting into the penalty area to challenge for crosses.

 

Townsend is having a field day against Anzhi.

 

Rose attempts a Scorpion but no dice.

 

Yep. Except for just now

 

terrible marking

 

ugh, AVB switch Lamela and Townsend. KEEP Townsend on the LEFT!

 

In fairness one half each on the left, that's the spot that's still mostly open.

 

ugh, im tired of townsend cutting in and shooting into the stands

 

yea i agree, lennon does better on the right than both of them. lamela hasn't done much on the right tho, seems like townsend + lennon for now is our best wing option

wouldn't mind seeing lamela play in the hole where sigurdsson is now

 

Penalty!

I'm liking the positivity from Fredricks


edit: Hat trick Soldado!

 

Fredericks done well coming on. Good to see Soldado get the hat trick.

 

Hmm just Ahnzi so I won’t read too much in to it, but there are signs the much hoped for “gelling” is starting to happen.

Not sure I could be any more tentative if I tried.
