OMT - Tottenham vs. Stoke

[Hootnow]

They were playing zonal.. And it is a good example why zonal rarely works.. They overloaded one "zone" with three players against one..

I'm not sure what was going on tbh because 5 minutes later, they were marking man to man. Also, even in the goal we conceded, there were multiple players who did follow their man.

As for it not working, no-one ever really says this when teams concede man to man. Zonal conceding= proof it doesn't work. Man to man= its he player's fault.

In both cases, goals conceded are due to players not following instructions.

:ross:The first one wasn't even a yellow. Have to go on and win now for gods sake. That is the break we need. Don't waste it.

[DHSF]

What happened with adam?

He was born

 

[Yiddo]

? What that 2nd yellow was harsh?

From the angles shown he hardly touched Vert.

 

[AdamB]

fudging clown shoe, both yellows were harsh but who gives a fudge.

How was the second one harsh?

 

[Richlee81]

Their keeper can't afford to waste time on a booking. Happy days

 

[SpurMeUp]

Can't believe that didn't go in. Bounced over.

 

[Papercut]

At least we seem to be better against bus parkers this season, more patients approach

 

[Hootnow]

Oooh, so close. We need more of those kinds of set-pieces, they could hit anyone.

 

[Spaceman]

To think we tried to sign him...

To think that some were willing to spend 8m on him...

 

[DHSF]

Oh yeah their GK was yellow carded

I guess thats how you stop time wasting huh cos its keepers who usually time waste

 

[AdamB]

Need to bring on a more attacking player for Parker

 

[metalgear]

do i see "funeral services" advertising on the pitchside billboards?

 

[Mumorn]

why does Huddlestone feel the need to do long ball every pass?

 

[billyiddo]

Wasting time already

 

[Huddy]

Oh yeah their GK was yellow carded

I guess thats how you stop time wasting huh cos its keepers who usually time waste

Has a goalie ever been sent off for time wasting? That would take some large ones for a Ref to do that.

 

[Jordinho]

Good to see us pile some pressure on earlier than the 80th minute.

Is Shotton genuinely wearing a towel under his top?
