*** Tottenham Hotspur v Saudi Sportswashing Machine OMT ***

[paxtonwolf]

Why do they pick someone who has problems talking as a pundit?

I know. Barring Jermaine Jenas, most of the current pundits do

 

[Notmegov]

Just make sure we dont concede in the first few mins of the restart like last season (in both league matches IIRC)

We won't, we are going to fudging hammer them.

Carroll has done exactly as expected. Second most completed passes.

I like Carroll but he has been poor today, whatever the stats say.

 

[King of Norway]

COME ON YOU SPURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[paxtonwolf]

We should be up by 2 or 3 by now. Not nervous, but all it takes is one lucky bounce for them the get back in it.

Jeepers, I am, it comes with the territory. Never calm in a match until its 3-0 or 4-1, bar Thursday, which for most of it, was the calmest I have been during a game for years

 

[scaramanga]

Incorrect. I am just factoring in the quality of the delivery and the intent/preparation/training of the attacking side.

Without factoring that in, you get 1 in 30. But of well delivered corners with a well drilled attack, the ratio would be way higher than that e.g. 1 in 10 and we have around 10 corners/freekicks per game.

Dont you think your proposal is already a part of Pulisball? Or Allardycitis?

Those one in thirty figures include all the teams who do pretty much nothing but practice set pieces each and every day.

COME ON YOU SPURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KON, you can change that avatar you know...I gather you must have done the OMT for the game at Britannia last season?

 

[paxtonwolf]

Come on Spurs, keep it tight, ride the early storm, consolidate, get a 2nd and let us try and enjoy the last 20mins

 

[Baleforce]

I like Carroll but he has been poor today, whatever the stats say.

he has, I think it's a timing/experience issue though, he's slightly out of tempo with the players around him

 

[paxtonwolf]

Unlucky, good from Lamela

 

[Kandi1977]

Why do they pick someone who has problems talking as a pundit?

Commentator on norwegian TV keeps referring to our midweek game vs Borossia Mönchengladbach....

 

[paxtonwolf]

That flick from Lamela

 

[Modric THFC]

I like Carroll but he has been poor today, whatever the stats say.

He'd have done much better if they'd ever give him the ball. The amount of times he's tired to get it off the back four only for them to play it long.
There's definitely a tactic to target them with balls in behind today.

Tbh it reminds me of watching Luka in his first season at Real watching him trying to get the ball when none of the Real team would pass to him when he would always get it at Spurs.

 

[paxtonwolf]

It that wall was 10yards, then I dont want that ref measuring my carpets

 

[paxtonwolf]

I was whacking it then,

 

[Bullet]

Wow, what a let off, great burst from Sissoko, dragged wide by the Papa

 

[Eriktheviking]

See how quickly Saudi Sportswashing Machine release the ball to their forwards, it's so hard to defend. By comparison, we are much slower although we do get more forward

 

[SteveAWOL]

Almost a sexy start to the 2nd half

 

[Baleforce]

they are having way too much of the ball for my liking, we need to shut this down

 

[Armchair Expert]

Id take kane off. Been brick today. Looks a bit leggy. We need to watch it here as we're not playing great today.
