Mura are playing for little more than pride as they can no longer finish in the top two of UEFA Europa Conference League Group G following a harsh introduction to continental group stage football (L4). While unlikely, a third-place finish is still possible, but they must win their remaining two matches, starting with this one against Tottenham Hotspur, who hammered them 5-1 on matchday two.
As the curtain falls on their ‘home’ European campaign (they host UECL games in Maribor), Mura is winless in six competitive matches (D3, L3 – 90 minutes), including a brace of UECL defeats to Rennes.
They have at least found the net before half-time in each of their last four home fixtures (W1, D2, L1 – 90 minutes) so could be dangerous early on.
That might give Tottenham cause for concern, as they’ve conceded an average of one first-half goal per game (W2, D1) since Antonio Conte took charge.
That unbeaten run has seen them showcase battling qualities, including coming from behind against Leeds United on Sunday (W 2-1), a trait that might stand them in good stead as they battle to secure a top-two finish in the group.
While victory here would be enough if Rennes also wins against Vitesse Arnhem, a slip-up could see ‘Spurs’ entering matchday six needing a result against Rennes.
Should have been shipped out ages ago
The most abysmal display yet and by this time that really is saying something. The only positive is that Conte now knows that most of that team in the first half have to go. They are beyond useless and have been all season. Fire sale absolutely essential as players like Deli, Docherty and Sanchez are just getting worse with each performance. Sessegnon was a mistake as was Gil. The recruitment has been truly awful.
There’s too many who should be shipped out after this
Live match link lads ,let’s all moan on the same page.
Would love to be a fly on the wall in that dressing room right now. Conte stapling a p45 to Sessie’s forehead I hope
Kane moves like a cart horse now.
I’m watching this game and I just had the thought, I seriously wouldn’t keep one of them if I had the option. They are so bad.
Most of them are literally broken and not fit for purpose .
I think they will even it up and have one sent off the way they are making tackles.
There goes our 25M man. But given his history at Spurs, getting 31 minutes out of him is surely an improvement!
Dele needs giving away to some chumps in non-league football. Wouldn’t get on the Mura team.
Don’t buy any prittstick to wrap ya prezzies in 2022 it won’t work😂
Unbelievable !
Later seggy ,rash and stupid x 2 .
Don’t think so ,they had one and it went in.
Off to the glue factory hopefully.
Doherty is genuinely awful. Haven’t seen a duller player probably.
We’ve had a shot on target though, right?
I think he is causing problems for levy who is wondering what he will do with him in January.
Anyone watching – how is Doherty doing getting forward and causing problems with his crosses into Kane?
None of the second string doing themselves any favours .
The amount of money on that pitch that can’t kick a ball ,shocking really.
“Conte’s learning a lot about this group.”
Oof. Wouldn’t want to be in their shoes at HT, unless something changes, fast.
Being given the run around by another pub side. We have no cohesion. All kick and rush.
Unreliable for years (since 2017). Sell.
Sanchez, I wonder if “…I prefer to kill him” applies
Sanchez has a habit of falling over, like last season, why ?
I thought he had changed his skis.
Gollum just watches it into the net as usual.
World class goal by the mechanic/part time player
Its a team selection that does not know each other, but it should still provide a winning formula.
Turnips for training balls😂.
We got this.
According to footballdatabase.com Mura is ranked #630 in the world. We are #46. Should be a real barn-burner against these farmers.
Bt sport 2 it seems .
I hope this is as food as the manky game last night, here’s hoping.
I jest of course Doherty is starting.
Anyone know who is showing it?
