Spurs were outplayed at home in the 1st leg and the 1 goal loss was a kind result for them. If it wasn't for Lloris's brilliant saves and some missed chances by Leipzig, the Germans could have at least scored 4 or 5 goals. At home, I think we can expect more dominance from Leipzig. Of course this is football and a lot of things are possible, but I can only see another dominant display by Leipzig and another win, this time probably by a larger margin.

They were at home against Ajax last year too, but given how underwhelming Spurs are by this point I can only see Leipzig going through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Lovely goal by Leipzig, Werner with a lovely set up for Sabitzer and the Austrian let rip with a rocket of a shot that Lloris couldn't keep out. Leipzig 1-0 Tottenham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Käiser Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Nothing changed with the score 1:0 Leipzig spurs still need a win, scoring 2, 2:1 would be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The games against Ajax were both close affairs. Leipzig absolutely bossed Spurs in the first leg and they have predictably taken an early lead hear in the 2nd leg. Leipzig are a class team and to think that the average age of the team is around 23! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leipzig are just on another level, such great football. I knew their class would enable them to dominate this game. The Austrian has been superb.

Did you not notice I said "I don't want to underestimate them"? Leipzig are really good, clearly. Spurs suck though, you cannot deny that either.

Pretty much missing a front line in Bergwijn, Kane and It's true that Kane and Son are absentees, but Spurs were also without Kane and Son for long spells last season, namely in the semi final of the Champions League against Ajax. Their absence didnt stop Spurs reaching the final and Lucas Moura scored a hattrick to get them there. Leipzig also had regulars out in the first leg, but they still dominated Spurs. I think that the top clubs are those with depth, where they can deal with the absence of 2 or 3 regulars. I think that only when teams for example have like 9 or 10 regulars out all at once (like Werder Bremen have had at times this season) do clubs have grounds for an excuse. This Spurs team is full of seasoned internationals and they are a club competing for a Champions League place in the Premier League, I don't think that they have too many excuses with how they are being outplayed here by Leipzig. Leipzig are just the better side in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs are poor right now and appear to be going through a transition or new direction following Pochettino going. Quite a few players don't seem good enough or are young/inexperienced. This would be a totally different game if Kane and Son were playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane is useless if his team don't get him in the game and son won't help them defend better or keep the ball, which are areas they're struggling in.

Apart from Lucas they seem to have no attacking threat. They're bound to have more impetus if Son plays and someone reliable if Kane is playing. They're relying on 3 attacking midfielders in Alli, Lucas and Lamela to get them goals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leipzigs midfield has run rings round Spurs midfield in both games, I don't think that would change if those 2 Spurs attackers were playing. Leipzig have controlled the midfield in both games and their attacking players have given the Spurs defenders endless amounts of headaches.
