*******TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR VS Saudi Sportswashing Machine OMT**********************

[Bullet]

Must get this on target, great distance, sun in his eyes, come on Sigg don't hit the wall

 

[Papercut]

Is Kaboul on the bench? Clearly we were going to need some speed at the back (particularly as Brad is also in goal). Why oh why is Sandro not starting again?

Soldado also needs to just stay up top and stop chasing - with only 1 up front we need that man in the box.

 

[Armchair Expert]

20 mins gone, Brad been far busier than Krul.

That's surprising. Krul hasn't touched it yet has he?

I'm honestly not sure he'll have to make a save this game.

 

[Amor]

Is Siggy playing today?

 

[Robspur12]

Dembele lost possession twice before that goal. If he had done his job properly we would not have been in that situation.

But Paulinho lost possession and did fook all to win it back. Also I felt our centrebacks were too far apart maybe because verts was further up field. Any way I feel more positive about our performance in attack and bar Sandro and lloris this is my preferred starting 11.

 

[Armchair Expert]

we are losing and yet the team cannot find a new gear.....we are stuck at this pace of playing

fcuk

Whilst looking flimsy at the back.

 

[Bonsaiboy]

This could be another 3-0 hammering. Saudi Sportswashing Machine will score again, I'm certain of that

Thats the problem with being a defensive minded team. Its difficult to get out of that mindset during a game.

 

[Jordinho]

We try to tease them with the ball into coming out, but it looks like they've borrowed Friedel's bungee cord to keep everyone in their half.

 

[onlyme]

Shocking goal. Chiriches reallty disappointed me. john Terry stops that goal. ch did not want to get his shorts dirty

Whilst looking flimsy at the back.

To be honest, it's the lack of cover from the two midfielders that has been the issue..

 

[3DSpur]

You would think that with the sun being in the keepers and defenders eyes we would test them with a few high balls into the box. Not us.

This. I got bored of saying it in every game were the opposition has the misfortune of having a whole 45 minutes dealing with it, whereas when Friedel will be in goal, it will have already shaded over. USE THE UNIVERSES MOST POWERFUL FORM OF OFFENCE!

 

[Yiddo]

Townsend annoys me and Dembele and Paulinho are no different to fielding Parker and Jenas in the centre of the park.

 

[DHSF]

This could be another 3-0 hammering. Saudi Sportswashing Machine will score again, I'm certain of that

We wil score and we will come out far better in second half that im sure of - still masks the issues though

 

[ringo]

Dawson's random punts forward, one of the most exciting things about our game today...

 

[Robspur12]

Townsend thinks he' Bale. He needs to release the ball quicker.

 

[P.D.]

Why can't Townsend ever pass, always runs into a blind alley it tried his luck from miles out.

 

[Armchair Expert]

wow. 25 minutes in and we've already had a raking, 2mph grass cutter from our out of position centre back on his wrong foot. #progress.

 

[Stenno]

why are all our players so seemingly greedy? it's so annoying.

 

[Spursalot]

I like Townsend, everyone else see's there are no options forwards and passes backwards. Townsend sees there are no options and tries to make something happen by taking the ball forward.
