Mighty Spurs vs Brighton OMT

[harr1984]

I think it's by design. When Moura gets away with possession in those situations it's always dangerous. We can afford him losing it quite a bit.

Plays to his strengths really.

Yes, but they are often terrible balls into him with too much weight on them when he is so tightly marked, he’s never going to turn and break the lines in those instances. Agree with the concept though….

It would help if players would stop giving Moura hospital passes. Not just this game, it seems our players know he can break the lines and dribble in tight areas and keep firing balls into him when he’s got a player up his backside. Then Moura will get criticised for giving the ball away….

Plenty of players are quite comfortable with receiving that type of pass though, and at this level that is a negative to Mouras game.

Delighted for Emerson Royal. Let those who doubt him watch him grow.

I think the 'can't cross' thing is going to become like the Kane 'one season wonder' thing

Don't know if the sound was misaligned with the video, but sounded like the crowd started celebrating before Kane shot for the opening goal. Rightly so, that was always going in.

Yeah it’s a key strategy and proving much effective than the aerial ball over the top to him- that hasn’t worked at all well tonight.

 

[El Guepardo]

Think Conte has achieved a lot in training recently. We are playing a lot better than recent times.

I don't think so. Plenty of players don't have the technique.

May have owed a bit to the three bottles of Thatcher’s Reserve (7.4% I’ll have you know) but I really enjoyed that first half.

Terrible crowd sound all round on ITV4. Sounds like they’ve set the mics up outside The Bricklayers.

Because he failed to cross when no one was in the box but it got a deflection and went in?

To clarify, I'm talking about players that play for teams that are our rivals or we aspire to be as good as

 

[Baleforce]

I want Romero to cut those out, no need to come so far forward there.

 

[Lilbaz]

Great save

 

[Lilbaz]

Ok calm this the fudge down.

 

[Baleforce]

Veltman would have had a pen then if he'd gone down.

Our rivals don’t pass the ball as bad as we seem to, to Lucas

fudge Dixon and his snarky comments

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Brighton have nothing to lose which means they have to gamble and attack more
It’s not rocket science but weirdly the commentators seem to think it is

enjoy his suffering

Because he's clearly a very talented player who is just going to get better
