Eintracht Frankfurt are without Mario Götze when they host Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday (kick-off: 9 pm CEST), with the sides level on points in UEFA Champions League Group D.

  • Son scored 41 times in 135 Bundesliga outings for HSV and Leverkusen, prior to joining Spurs from the latter in 2015.

I have heard exactly 0 fans calling for Gil to be played. Bis & Spence yes but Gil no

Back in the real world, a finest moment tends to be an isolated moment and it wasn’t in anyway romanticised. If you wanted to be as forensic as you pretend to be, you could have just said he was clearly out of his depth and contributed virtually nothing, or something to that effect, rather than coming out with cobblers about an ‘isolated, romaticised moment’.

It certainly feels like that. The concept of that being a transfer window that backed him, is one only held by the slightly unhinged…

Another season that looks like drifting away. Conte wasn’t backed and this will end badly.

I think Conte threw him on just to shut up some of our idiotic fan base. It’s clear he’s not ready

Might as well finish 3rd in the group. We’ll stand no chance against Real, Bayern et al. We’re not good enough to win the EL, but that cup is about our level.

Napoli, now that’s a real team. They have Zielinski and Kvaratskhelia, the type of players we sorely lack.

Gil is another imposter. Get rid at first opportunity.

Conte will lose the dressing room if this crap continues, if he hasn’t already.

A point isn’t a disaster away at this lot, especially when we’re playing so poorly.

There has been a gloom slowly forming around the team this season. We got results playing poorly early on, we never improved so now we’re not getting the results either.

It will be interesting to see the direction of travel from here this season, Conte is not a happy man right now…

Would usually take a draw away in the group stages of the CL against the “pot A” team, but that Frankfurt team isn’t what you’d usually expect to play in this scenario, pish poor.

He was supposed to go back on loan to Valencia again like has last season. Gatusso said that it was agreed happening as Spurs were to bring another player in first. Suprise, suprise we didn’t so he was forced to stay, Gatusso was livid because he didn’t have time to find someone else.

Not when he retrieved the ball by the corner flag and then dribbled through a couple of blokes before being fouled?

The front 3 had plenty of opportunities to do something. Son was awful, so was Richy, and Gil did well for an 11-year old playing adult footie.

Still a lack of quality on show, rubbish passes when good ones could have been match winners – still, game there for the taking – or the throwing away…

2 seasons ago this is where I’d stick 20 quid on us losing 1-0.

The American tv commentary described our bench as ‘threadbare’ with ‘no real game-changers.’ Sums up Spurs under ENIC.
