3-2 decent result away in turkey against their strongest outfit with rotated team and 10 men by the end

Yep, this was a low stake game for us where the most important thing was to not pick up injuries. We need 1 point from our final 4 games to guarantee qualification now

My only complaint was that we should have gone weaker and left more at home.

Sunday is by far the bigger game

even had a chance to make it 3-3 if it wasn't for Kulu's left boot

Could have been a lot worse. But pretty sure Spurs full strength would not have lost. But it is a long drawn out group stage, so can afford to lose two or three and still comfortably qualify.

Routine 3 points?? They haven’t won yet, Dr Tottenham is washing his white coat as we speak

Really should have been six or seven. We got away with being completely humiliated tonight.

As did Gala as we could have nicked a draw with 10 men.

We move on, it was a nothing game for us and Ange showed that with the line up - if anything he went too strong

Pretty sure??
Match report says we could have shipped a lot more goals.
We'll see what this loss (really a drubbing) does to overall confidence on Sunday!

It’s not a drubbing at all. It finished 3-2.

That was one of the most disgraceful performances I’ve ever seen as a spurs fan. Every last one of them feckin gutless, including Ange. Jesus feckin Christ! I really can’t put into words how awful that was until Lankshear went off.

We are not winning this competition. Naive, fantasy football that will never win us a thing if we keep this up. Hold your head in shame Ange. We never performed that badly under Conte or Jose. 32 shots they had and most of them decent too. 3-2 doesn’t do them justice. We should have lost 10-2 and made headlines as one of the worst sides this cup has ever known. I want these little weasels to feel the pain of this.

One thing is for sure, Dragusin is a joke of a player. Sorry, he’s just awful and Bergvall, generational? Do me a favour. He was awful again tonight. Kulu and Bents are the only two that come out with credit.

Gutless waaankers

Some will say it was just a second string but all I saw was players shirking responsibility and playing weak misplaced passes. They lost that game in the tunnel. I get these lads aren’t as good as the first team but the very least you can give is 100% effort. Bergvall gave up on so many 50 50 balls. He didn’t seem to want to challenge for anything. His performance was dreadful. He’s not ready in the same way Gray is. He needs a loan.

Gala are unbeaten in the league

Their starting xi pretty established throughout

Can see a 4 or 5 nil. Spurs at home are a different animal. Bookies have Spurs 1/4. So it's pretty well a done deal.

I’m surprised so many fans aren’t all that bothered. I get that we can still qualify but to me it speaks of a total lack of professionalism. Galatasaray are a decent team but they’re not prime Barca. From top to bottom we were awful and it’s that attitude that really pizzes me off. These lads are auditioning for a start. Where’s the desire, the heart, the determination. I didn’t see any of that until the game was technically all over. I can put up with a lack of talent but a lack of effort just isn’t good enough at this level. It’s up to Ange to get that out of them though. It’s just not happening.

Does it matter if we smash Ipswich? Clearly we can’t get any consistency going. We know after every couple of wins a gutless defeat follows. Honestly, Poch would have had Ange on toast he really would.

If Spurs had gone full strength, most supporters would have been moaning. The overbloated European competitions are a mass rotationers dream. I happen to think these group stages are completely meaningless. You can finish 24th in the group and still go further than the team that finishes top.

Tonight was as meaningless match as you could get fir a team already on nine points. Ange made exactly the right call tonight. Just gave minutes to most the squad that travelled.

Talk about hyperbole. Honestly Fridge every time Spurs lose a game you go into one, even if it is only the B team.

Total unprofessional today. Especially some our seasoned pros. Yes i expected us to lose but the way we played and defended at times is a real concern. Unless we have first 11 available fit and at it we are totally inept.

This is it! I can deal with losing but it’s the manner of the defeat that annoys me. I’m aware that technically it’s meaningless, or at least we hope it is, but something is clearly wrong with that group. We are woefully short of leaders out there and it shows.

We got away with it today. Could quite have easily been on the end of a 6 or 7 goal lashing and that would have drastically changed the reaction from fans. I've said that performances have generally been good this season but that is another to add to the list of ones we've been very poor in. Obviously you hope players learn from it and Ange learns more about the weaknesses of his squad.

Get a good win at the weekend and order has been restored...for now.

Spurs meet them again in a two legged knockout match, with a full strength team, they win comfortably.

The B team were not great tonight, but bottom line is they still won the 2nd half 1-0 with only 10 men.
