2024/25 Europe League / Conference League - league phase

Casadei sent off for double yellow.

 

[Jussi]

Hopefully Malacia and Shaw can split the game at left side.

 

[Jussi]

Alejandro!

 

[luiginb]

Son puts Tottenham up from the penalty shot, after a useless foul by Hummels on Sarr

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Gorgeous goal.

 

[luiginb]

Solanke sucks defensively too, left his man all alone and Ndicka makes 1-1

 

[Jussi]

Shite defending, great finish.

 

[luiginb]

Kulusevski having a horrid game, killing every Spurs attack. And Gray isn't a fullback, in spite of Ange's wishes

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

What in god's name was United's defensive positioning there?

 

[Jussi]

Malacia's lack of match fitness showed badly there. *sigh*

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Should've been 3 there.

 

[luiginb]

Spurs-Roma feels like a hockey game, shots on net gonna end up being 15-18 at this pace

I think that was the final shot split in Heidenheim-Chelsea today

 

[Jack Straw]

Omg. How does Sonny miss that?

 

[luiginb]

Kulusevski having a horrid game, killing every Spurs attack.

Reverse jinx worked, he's been playing like Messi since I posted this haha and he should have had two assists but Brennan Johnson only manages to convert the second opportunity, 2-1 Spurs. Now Kulu just hit a post and Son put it high from a great position.

 

[Jussi]

GO RAZZMATAZZ!

Until we see Yoro in proper games, Mazraoui has been the best summer signing.

 

[Jussi]

GO RAZZMATAZZ
GO RAZZMATAZZ

 

[Jack Straw]

Spurs living dangerously

 

[Jussi]

You could've opened your body and shot with your right foot, Garna. Or taken the ball a little close and left have an empty net.

 

[Jussi]

Really well played counter by Rashford and Amad but Garnacho's finish....

 

[luiginb]

Bissouma forgets Spurs play a high defensive line and Solanke can't stop the cross to reach Hummels who makes it 2 2 in extra time.

Richarlison can't come back soon enough, Spurs aren't winning anything with Solanke leading the line. Guy plays like he has two left feet, his finishing makes Darwin Núñez look like Harry Kane, and I keep hearing people praise his defensive game, which is basically him running around aimlessly and ineffectively.

[luiginb]

I actually think Allegri would be perfect for a team trying to avoid relegation

 

[gary69]

Take Kubo with big impact on Sociedad's 2-0 win over Ajax.

Twice broke through on the right flank, in the 1st goal he made a hard pass accross the box for a surging teammate to put the ball in. In the 2nd goal, he cut in and scored himself with an accurate shot.

Surprisingly easy and big win for Rangers, 4-1 away at Nice. Igmane might look a bit clumsy and technically not the best, but he has speed & strength in those big calves, and can finish. So a decent alternative for Dessers.

From the Nice matches I've seen this season, old man Dante hasn't been at good level any more, but tonight his replacements were somehow even worse. At least Nice got a nice looking late consolation free kick goal by Bouanani.

Richarlison is toast. Shouldn't be part of the squad next season. Can't stay fit.

Couldn't watch the game tonight, but your notion that Solanke's running is aimless and ineffective is absolutely not what I would say based on other games. However you said the same when they played City in the league cup, which was not the consensus.
