***OMT - TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs. READING - OMT***

[Armchair Expert]

hes playing well, but fudging hell every time. every time.

 

[scaramanga]

Why is Friedel giving them the ball back?!

Friedel is as Friedel does.

 

[AdamB]

If Defoe crossed it earlier it would have been cut out

Sig wasnt too far into the box to get on the end of it. I think Defoe was right. Im not slating Sig (some will think I am - jeez) but if Defoe missed that we wouldnt be hearing the end of it

We need another quick as second half they will improve

Disagree. Siggy was in plenty of space to start with. Anyway, agree that we to carry on in the second half - need to put this one to bed as 1-0 in the last ten mins and our players will get jittery given the last 3 games

We've fallen asleep a bit...

 

[Huddy]

Starting to let Reading back into this now.

 

[milo]

Blimey, I thought ppl who thought that died with the dinosaurs!!!!

I think that he will end up there if AVB changes us to playing 4-3-3

I will see it again at half time to see... would be interesting.

We have sat back a touch over the last 20 mins I think and our best chances have been their mistakes.

Need to attack.

 

[AdamB]

So do we think AVB will go for his usual substitution in the second half, take Siggy off, put Ade on and go 4-4-2?

I think Dempsey for Siggy is more likely. Cant see ABV going 4-4-2 whilst we're winning

 

[Steed Train]

Friedel needs to tone down the hoofing

 

[scaramanga]

I think that he will end up there if AVB changes us to playing 4-3-3

And do a good job too.

 

[Huddy]

Other than his through pass Siggy has been poor, certainly not having anywhere near as big an influence as Sandro and Dembele on the midfield.

 

[ringo]

Reading are brick and we should stuff them.

 

[Roy1983]

And do a good job too.

Sure he will. The world knows bale is best attacking not defending.

 

[Armchair Expert]

Its good to see Sandro looking a better player with a different partner next to him. Although Reading have been brick.

 

[AdamB]

Decent performance but should be more than 1 up

Sandro and Dembele partnership looking promising

 

[GLENROYID]

We should be 2-0 up, we need one more to settle the nerves

 

[superspurs]

Sandro masterful, not playing 2 DM's really is making a difference.

 

[THFC]

siggy, not sure what he's on but nowhere near the standard we demand at this level

 

[metalgear]

dilemma for avb: we're leading but not totally convincing up front. change it before the next goal or after?

 

[indospurs]

Reading are brick and we should stuff them.

GHod we have been sooo wasteful, reading are nowhere to be seen unless we let them in ! Very comfortable for us, but we'll throw it away if we aren't more clinical.
