Trippier

[yellowrider120 920]

Having a nightmare first half according to old fashioned radio.

If we were not worried about the media rumours of Max being flogged off to replace him, I think we ought to be!

On the telly they all look bad - slow, indecisive and unable to pass to each other.

Ajax look so much better

Ajax are great to watch just like another team we all know😀

[crispeduk 282]

Spot on Darth, can we play Spurs early on! Re Max, a £30m bid plus Kane as cover for Teemu might come close.

Not sure this thread is going to age too well.

Spurs are that bad they have pulled it back to 2-2 from 2 nil down.

[wooster 134]

Fair point but it doesn't change their poor performance in the first half.

[Ian 1,212]

I suppose you don't think us winning the title changes the poor performance in our first 6 games either?

[Thirsty Lizard 3,215]

Jeez - what a comeback!!

[Fuzzar 1,861]

That's two ridiculous games in succession. Unbelievable!

I thought I'd seen it all last night.

Incredible.

In the words of Danny Higginbottom  Spurs have "done a Norwich"

Just love football

Game of two halves - pleased for Spurs.

 

If the Europa Cup games well tomorrow all four finalists could be EPL teams.

Marvellous result. From a family of Spurs fans it makes life a bit happier (for a while).😀

Harry Kane: "Disappointing first half."

I feel vindicated.

Well, duh!  They went in 2-0 down, it doesn’t take a great deal to think that might be what you could call “disappointing”!  

It was a fairly ordinary first half all round if truth be told - Spuds did hit the woodwork though - but it certainly came to life in a big way after the break!

It’s a game of 2 halves, so not really Wooster 😉

[wooster 134]

Can we just be clear that if Spurs were poor in the first half and much better in the second half, they were still poor in the first half.

I don't get the criticism - at no point did I say it could never be turned around - my original comment was simply on their performance in the first half.  Did I predict the match result? No.

Easy to say Spurs were poor first half. I prefer to think that for 25 minutes, Ajax produced some really good football. However, as they showed at WHL, they cannot keep that pace up for the whole 90 minutes. And they wilted under the pressure of De Ligt having to defend, to cover the woeful Daley Blind, against Llorrente, and the gap that left in their midfield being exploited by Spurs running on to the lay off from said Spanish striker.

Trippier had a much better second half, but has not been great over the season as a whole.
