[Jimmy]

Jeez, that's a tough group. Should have some fun games to watch! Annoying about the away trip, though. 

[Lineker]

Want to go to Monaco but it won't be cheap  

Decent draw, hopefully we should be getting through that no problems.

I'll be cheering on Midtjylland in this anyway because of my FM hero Pione Sisto and the fact they knocked Southampton out!

[Cymbols]

Midtjylland have some legitimately good players, could be a tough match. 

Wasn't wrong!

Also going to be rooting for them, Sisto is class, has so much potential. 

[FestiveJack]

Celtic's group is so good, can see them really struggling.

The best European football competition is back on tonight

Sakho and Origi have both been confirmed to start for us. Rumours are we will be going back to 3-5-2 with a line up of Sakho, Gomez and Toure the three centre backs, Ibe and Moreno playing wing back, Can, Lucas, Rossiter, Coutinho and Lallana in midfield and Origi up top.

It's better than 4-3-3 considering Ings won't be playing left back today...

[MDK]

I'm loving the resurgence of the back 3 formation. Is it too much to hope for a new style of sweeper? Or even a Christmas tree formation?!

 

[Kaney]

Celtic beating Ajax two one at half time. Pleasant surprise!

I don't have anywhere near the number of clubs liniker does :(

UEFA have brought back the Intertoto Cup? 

[DavidMarrio]

Lallana with a tidy finish before. Been a decent game, end to end. Sloppy at times but some promising moments. 

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Pleased to see Trippier, Wimmer, Carroll, Lamela and Son playing. Townsend too if he's learnt how to pass.

 

#THFC team: Lloris (c), Trippier, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Rose; Carroll, Dier; Townsend, Alli, Lamela; Son

 

 

 

[Szumi]

Surprised we are winning right now. Bordeaux controlled a lot of this game. Origi was left isolated like Benteke, but at least Lallana has gotten a goal. Rossiter has done well, really well truthfully. Sakho has been solid in the back. Hopefully he's going to finally get a crack over Lovren.

[DavidMarrio]

Welp...hard to say they don't deserve it. 

[Szumi]

Deserved equalizer. Gomez and Can both poor to not deal with it.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Two for Son after Trippier gives away a penalty.

 

Yay Son.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Yeah! Lamela! He deserved that today. He's had a very good second half.

[Lineker]

Monaco have former Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho guarding the back, while midfielders Jeremy Toulalan and Joao Moutinho patrol the midfield. Tottenham have named a strong side for the trip, and make just three changes to the side that beat Manchester City at the weekend. Right-back Kieran Trippier, left-back Danny Rose and midfielder Nacer Chadli come in for Kyle Walker, Ben Davies and Son Heung-min.

Monaco: Subasic, Fabinho, Raggi, Carvalho, Fabio Coentrao, Joao Moutinho, Toulalan, Adama Traore, Lemar, Bernardo Silva, Lacina Traore.
Subs: Nardi, Dirar, Carrillo, Wallace Santos, Bakayoko, Pasalic, El Shaarawy.

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Alli, Dier, Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela, Kane.
Subs: Vorm, N'Jie, Townsend, Fazio, Wimmer, Carroll, Winks.

Referee: Artur Soraes Dias (Portugal) 

Match is on BT Sport Europe.

 

[GoGo Yubari]

Jimmy should have been in here celebrating Lamela's goal already.
