Pre-Season: *** Tottenham Hotspur vs Real Madrid OPSFMT ***

[Jimmy-g]

Hugo`s place is in doubt, what a great buy Lamela was.

 

[ringo]

A brilliant save from Worm there -after a deflected Modric shot

 

[richie_spur]

That Modric looks a player. Cheeky bid?

 

[Sandman]

Vorm showing well. I did like him before. Still wondered why Swansea ended up buying Flapihanski and letting him go.

 

[ringo]

fudge me that was easy. I thought we spent money to improve our defence. where were the CBs?

 

[inkpenspur]

bugger, stream broke and now we are 1 nil down!

 

[Sandman]

Walker with no pressure on the guy crossing. Just picks out the run of James who gets in between the CB's

 

[Modric THFC]

If only we had a DM in there watching those runs

 

[Jimmy-g]

Cracking goal, fair play!

Good to see things dont change with Mr Brain-dead

 

[Modric THFC]

Walker with no pressure on the guy crossing. Just picks out the run of James who gets in between the CB's

He got in between Rose and Dier.

 

[ringo]

Chip the ball into the ball. Head it in. simple. We looked way too exposed there.

It should have been the CBs -who were inexplicably missing.

 

[Sandman]

Chip the ball into the ball. Head it in. simple. We looked way too exposed there.

A runner picked out by a cross will always have a step on any defender. But pressure on the crosser is essential and Walker just watched him cross it.

 

[Daisuk]

So potentially 2 games three days before our season's opener? Madness. Hope we lose.

 

[Seedy Ron]

It's not potentially, there's a 3rd place playoff.

I agree re the cross -but our CBs should have been in position and put pressure on the runner too.

 

[Legohamster]

We have no pace at all.

Dier is not a cm

 

[Daisuk]

Same as last season so far - we play reasonably well up until the box, where we don't seem to know what to do with the ball.

 

[Modric THFC]

So potentially 2 games three days before our season's opener? Madness. Hope we lose.

There's a 3rd place game tomorrow regardless.
