OMT: Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland Match History 1898-2013 (Asia Trophy)

[Spursalot]

if it was a PL game it would have been called off

Not really, they've played in worse during the last season. The snow was ridiculous.

This is a much better passage of play from us.

Vertonghen

Love him

 

[metalgear]

It's difficult to impress with such a waterlogged pitch.


In my view Walker is impressing.

and he looks like he's enjoying the game too. the pitch is very very poor though. don't think its a fair judge of either team or any player

 

[metalgear]

defoe should have put that one in, 6 m away but shoots down the centre.

 

[Armchair Expert]

brick finish from Defoe. Straight down the keepers throat. Just for a change.

Absolutely zero guile in his play.

 

[AVB]

CLEAR CUT CHANCE edge of 6 yard box defoe with pretty much just the keeper to beat does his usual closes his eyes and hits it as hard as he can standard result straight at the keeper

 

[Spursalot]

Would be quite surprised if we don't make another change or two in the next five minutes..

 

[AVB]

Haha and now hes offside from a dangerous cross hope we well him

 

[AVB]

Sell*

 

[AVB]

Now were losing LOL wes brown header from corner un marked looked like bad positioning from fryers

 

[metalgear]

goal from corner. that's not the fault of the pitch.

 

[Mulletperm]

Awful marking the

 

[Roy1983]

No one on the far post? Lessons not learned from last season?

 

[Armchair Expert]

Luckily we have sorted out our defending from set pieces then :ross:

I know its only pre season but the signs are there: goal conceded from a corner; Defoe blasting shots down the middle from 6 yards.

Tottenham we've missed you

 

[indianspur]

yeah whoppeeeee....can we go home now. Thank GHod we dont play City

 

[Superhudd]

What I take from this is the blue circle HP is not a good idea because when using the central camera its very hard to see.

 

[metalgear]

wes brown playing as if this is his last game.
will be soon if he's not careful given his history of injuries

 

[Armchair Expert]

cool townsend and carroll coming on. should be a bit more interesting.

It's difficult to impress with such a waterlogged pitch.


In my view Walker is impressing.

He has impressed me a lot over the last two seasons.

He had one great first season, but he had to confirm in the second one and after a difficult start (especiall vs Chelsea) he picked himself up and finished very very strong. That's what good players do.

He seems settled, concentrated on his football and keen to learn.

I think he can be a top player for us.
