+ OMT - Spurs vs Man Utd +

[metalgear]

Lennon once again, our most dangerous attacking player. But I thought Bale was our world class one? These are the sort of games Bale should be winning for us, you can do it Bale.

Defoe needs to run around a bit more too.

 

[Kingdawson]

First half = Dembele and Lennon good, Parker and Naughton decent and the rest utter crap.

 

[GLENROYID]

Naughton needs taking off.

He isnt supporting Bale, and he isnt very good at defending either.

 

[seaside spur]

We haven't lost yet. Are games now only 45 minutes?

Sorry to be pessimistic Steff but we could have 20 attempts to their two or three and still lose 2-1.
We can't defend and we can't absorb any pressure without conceding.
I really hope i am wrong but without Gallas,Verts,Kaboul and Ekotto (and a top forward to lead the line)i just can't see it.

Spurs + set piece = time to go for a tinkle

 

[Mumorn]

We need to bring Assou-Ekotto on at half time. Both Naughton and Walker are having terrible games. Decision would be who to bring him on for though. I'd bring him on for Walker and put Naughton in his natural position. Naughton actually looks a clever player, has good vision and passing ability whilst Kyle Walker, is well, Kyle Walker.

Naughton to RB, Walker Off, Benny to LB...

 

[Jimmy-g]

RvP wasnt his man! He made a late attempt to pick him up. Whether Walker had his actual man or not is irrelevant. Had Dawson had his man it would still be 0-0 (or had Bale or whoever had Cleverly and stopped the cross)

Watch the replay and watch Walker early on in the build up, we can still get something from this, all is not lost, no point arguing its done.

 

[diego_maradona]

Perfect game plan from the lads today. Lull united into thinking its same old Tottenham and then BAM AVB time!

[thfcsteff]

I think BAE would help get Bale into the game/give Man U more to think about on the left. However Naughton has played wel other than being nowhere near Cleverley for that cross. It'd be a slight gamble but one I'd take.

 

[Crawley]

Sorry, but thats ridiculous. How can 1 man meant ot be marking 2!?!? Have a look at the replay and RvP drifts off Daws just as the ball goes out to Cleverly

But he didn't mark anyone.

He ball watched and drifted into the middle where Dawson was already covering. At least get in a position where you can try and stop them, don't leave two of the fudgers behind you un-marked.

[Spaceman]

Ball went out from the corner #-o

Professional footballers, ey?

can tell you've never kicked a football before. poor yes, but it happens

 

[Mumorn]

Of course I have. I'm very good too.

It's more me saying it due to the fact that Kyle Walker is taking our corners.

 

[DubaiSpur]

I missed the pre-match build-up, why is Verts on the bench? Is it injury-related or purely tactical?

We've played quite well, but we've lacked any presence up front. This is a recurring problem; with or without Adebayor.

 

[Bullet]

The second half is a new game, if we really take it to them they will feel the burn and could concede.

We need a flash of brilliance or a bit of luck, we are only 1 down.

But for GHod's sake, we are so right-sided with nothing down the left at all.

Bale needs to take his crown off and realise he is one of the world's best left sided players.

 

[Jimmy-g]

Redknap " Walker got confused" what's fudging new?

 

[Hootnow]

Why was Walker running towards Dawson facing completely away from the play?
