OMT - Tottenham v FC Basel, EL QF 2nd Leg

[90291Spur]

Adebayor is a disgrace.

For missing a penalty? OR having a brick season?

 

[Joesh]

Bottlers for penalty takers. I would fancy only Sigi and Dempsey to score. We should have gone all out to win even with ten men.

 

[nerdved]

DAWSON can hardly fudging walk to get us that far and he is rewarded with THAT Ade?

Dawson effectively got Vertonghen sent off so he can have no complaints. Horrible, horrible penalty though - fully agree.

 

[Mulletperm]

It's always bad when you miss the target but you can't fault the players effort tonight Ade includes

Not faulting the effort, but the technique and attitude for the penalty.

pretty much this.


Heart on sleeves performance. 2-2 at Basel with a number of players out was a good performance.

 

[Roy1983]

was obvious Friedel was never going to save a penalty.

I'm sorry but I totally agree with everyone on that we played well especially in the last 30 minutes but to lose like that is hard to take. The truth is I expected it we are so bad at penalties and never seem to save any. Not that their pens weren't great but it was an awful performance in the shootout.

 

[3DSpur]

League focus time.


And then watch Chelsea take away 4th spot from us again.

 

[Pirate55]

Onlyme will claim it was a great penalty

:ross: At least that comment cheered me up!!

Steff too will also claim he had a great game and really put his heart into the match.

 

[markysimmo]

ive had money on basle at 23/20

easiest money ive ever won....

 

[Mumorn]

For missing a penalty? OR having a brick season?

by playing football professionally.

 

[Spursman]

Dunno why he took one! 7 consecutive loss on pens! Bottle jobs

 

[thfcsteff]

Well...this either is the pin prick in our cushion or its the fuel to come back in 10 days fit, fast and ready to stay in the top 4...brave effort...well done for that lads...

 

[Bonsaiboy]

Oh well, take the pain and turn it into points gain.

If we were gonna go out, that was a good way to go. Coming from 2-1 behind, playing extra time with 10 men. Lots of positive vibs. Well taken penalties we couldn't do a lot about.

 

[Armchair Expert]

Oh well. At least we can now focus on finishing in the top 4.

not going to happen unfortunately.

tonight did show just how abject we played at the lane. we made basel look like fudging Barcelona, and actually they are a swiss team, as shown tonight. a half dead team with all star names missing did a much better job than our first leg line up.

damage done in the first leg. perhaps complacency set in.

 

[markysimmo]

Gutted though, guess id better canx my hotel in the Dam...

 

[Archieboy]

Yet again our lack of balls as a club fks us up! Complete garbage in the shootout and anyone watching knew it was coming. Why bother battling for 30 minutes to go out like a bunch of spineless fks in the shootout. Will we ever change from being small time with a losers mentality!

 

[DubaiSpur]

Ah, well. If we were proud before the penalties, we have to be proud after it.

 

[Richie]

Anyone else a little disappointed with Freidel on the first penalty? Went the right way and didn't attempt to save it. Might not have made a difference, but poor goalkeeping.

 

[Baleforce]

We lost this last week, had we put the same effort in then as we did tonight...

Ades Spurs career is done, you cant carry wasters and losers in a winning team especially as a top earner. Let him go back to Monaco or Dubai or where ever and earn alot for doing fudge all.
