Spurs v Bayern - CL group stage / 1 Oct

"Oh when the Spurs go marching in" echoing around the stadium...

 

1-1 Kimmich, 15 mins.

 

Again we switch off after scoring, Rose gets done down the left and after Vertonghen clears, the central midfield is nowhere to be seen. Kimmich could have fried an egg and had a cup of tea before drilling the ball past Lloris from just outside the area.

 

Now Kane rounds the keeper and Alaba clears off the line, this game is mad!

 

Ndombele is on corner duty tonight.

 

Great closing down by Winks on Gnabry and the Bayern player is booked for the foul.

 

Great move by Spurs, Kane drops deep and plays in Aurier down the right, his first-time croos is met by Ndobele who is saved by Neuer.

 

Kane on free-kick duty with Eriksen on the bench, but his attempt goes over.

 

Neuer dribbles past Son 2 yards from the goal line, à la Lloris but with a better result!

 

Son with his 5th attempt at goal, just wide after a good ball from Deli.

 

Winks is a lucky boy, he overplays in midfield and loses the ball, Bayern break but Spurs survive.

 

Vertonghen does well to put off Lewandowski in the box.

 

Nice play by Dele to turn and pull back to Kane but Pavard clears.

 

Bayern on the front foot now, we are defending deeper.

 

Ndombele with a foolish booking on Coutinho, dangerous free-kick at the edge of the area.

 

The kick goes out for a corner.

 

1-2 Lewandowski 45'

 

Again dreadful defending from us, Ndombele tries to play out of our box instead of clearing and the Pole smashes the ball into the corner.

 

HT, 1-2. We played well, but again errors by our central midfielders cost us 2 goals. We still lack maturity at the highest level. Depressing.

 

The teams are back for the 2nd half. Bayern are bringing on Thiago Alcantara for Alaba.

 

Spurs kick off and the 2nd half is underway. Pavard has moved to left back and Kimmich will play right back.

 

Kane gets booked as the defender makes a meal of the challenge.

 

Winks again gives the ball away in a dangerous area and Lewandowski sees his shot blocked.

 

1-3 Gnabry 53'

 

We are nowhere, this season is a total shambles, Aurier left for dead and Gnabry allowed to cut into the middle and leaves Lloris with no chance.
