Curse of Wembley continues

GavRedKing

Spurs cant handle the big grounds.

Dirty Dingus McGee

Since they beat City, Spurs haven't won in 6 games and have only scored 2 goals in that time.

How much are Spurs getting from playing in Wembley? Seems greed might be costing them a place in the knock outs, have they not enough money from monstrous TV deals without chasing every pound? although that said their form in recent weeks has been poor, what had they, 1 shot on target all night?

Long ball over spurs press really seems to screw them easily.

They dont have a choice, they are doing some preliminary works at WHL and while they are there are issues that mean they cant play CL games there.

They will most likely play all league games for the 17/18 season at wembely while they work on WHL so they better get over the "Jinx" soon

It's not greed... White Hart Lane is under construction. The changes made aren't a problem for the FA so they can keep playing domestic games there, but the UEFA requirements are different, and deem the stadium to be unfit to host games in its current state.

Mr.Nice Guy

Really looking forward to Monaco vs Spurs. Monaco are banging in the goals right now and Spurs need to win this game to have hopes of progressing. It could be great.

Mr.Nice Guy

Monaco XI: Subasic - Sidibé, Glik, Jemerson, Mendy - Fabinho, Bakayoko, Lemar, Silva - Falcao Germain

Spurs XI: Lloris, Trippier, Dier, Wimmer, Rose, Wanyama, Dembele, Winks, Son, Dele, Kane

That midfield battle will be very interesting.

Mr.Nice Guy

Great chance for Spurs but Son blew it.

Vincent Vega

This spurs match is some craic

Mr.Nice Guy

Fabinho doesn't miss them.

LuckyGent88

Why didn't Fabinho take the pen?? They showed his record before the match and its 16 pens in a row.

blueser

Monaco should be 2 up by now. Spurs look a shambles at the back.

Falcao's captain so I think he called for it. Wonder will not scoring it affect his confidence.

Mendy is tearing Spurs a new you-know-what at the moment. I was surprised Deschamps didn't turn to him for France when Kurzawa got injured. He has to be a better option than Evra these days.

LuckyGent88

Mental game in Dortmund.

Damn, 5 goals scored in half an hour. Wonder what it will be when it finishes.

Burial.

One of the most crazy halves of football I've seen in a long while. 6 goals with 10 mins still to go

Make that 7

Dortmund could easily get to double figures here

Jelle1880

This is unreal, Legia's goalie is a joke though.

But what a first half so far.

Mr. FoggPatches

If spurs get out of here with anything, it'll be a miracle.

Burial.

Delighted to see Marco Reus back playing again and looking sharp.

LuckyGent88

Deserved lead for Monaco.

Mr.Nice Guy

1-0 Monaco. Sidibe.

Mendy involved again.

Jelle1880

Monaco take the lead through Sidibe.

Mr.Nice Guy

Spurs penalty.

Kane scores it - just.

blueser

Poor defending by Spurs, to be honest. A free header from six yards out, in the middle of the goal.

Dick phelan

Lifeline for Spurs

LuckyGent88

Spurs get a lifeline of a very soft penalty.

Kane gets it. 1-1

Jelle1880

6-2 now...

Dick phelan

OMG!

Mr.Nice Guy

LOL!

Lemar scores instantly! 2-1!

LuckyGent88

Goals flying in now.

Jelle1880

38 seconds between both goals lol!

murpho999

Ridiculous few minutes in the Spurs match.

GavRedKing

Spurs being Spurs.

blueser

Sunday morning parks defending by Spurs for both Monaco goals. That must drive a manager mental. Drag yourself back into the game then, 38 seconds later, leave a man totally unmarked at the far post. Kamikaze stuff, really.

Jelle1880

6-3 now, what the actual ****.

mansize

Come on Monaco

Mr.Nice Guy

Son was poor. Subbed now.

TheCitizen

Is Pochetinno resting players for this Spurs v Monaco game like Erikson?

Mr.Nice Guy

Magnificent save from Lloris!

LuckyGent88

Ah how did Lloris save that

Kept Spurs in it when, to be honest, they should be dead and buried by now.

Loris saving Spurs' blushes

Dick phelan

Dier is an awful defender
