**** TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Swansea Rovers FC ****** Official Match Thread

[Kingdawson]

Did they? A header from a corner and a shot from outside the box - not that 'big' IMO

yes

1) They had 3 players free when they broke from the left but the player couldn't pick any of them (partly due to Gallas pulling on him).

2) Sidgursen was free to pass to 2 players but chose to shoot.





Modric ffs.

 

[Midfield Maestro]

modric greedy fudger, ade was there

 

[Park Lane James]

walker sort it out fudging kick the round thing

Sounds like one of Redknapp's pieces of 'advice'

 

[SteveAWOL]

If only Modric had a decent shot on him, such a great passer of the ball but he scuffs so many good chances from inside the area.

 

[spurspinter1]

Jesus christ Modric that is awful...

 

[Hootnow]

Oh Modric...

 

[Armchair Expert]

annoying. crap final ball about 149 times

 

[GLENROYID]

Scott Parker, take a bow

 

[metalgear]

hahahahahahahahahha .... modric can't shoot for nuts.

 

[Tottenham Dave]

Modric needed to lay that off, certain goal.

 

[DHSF]

Modric ffs.

theyre not chances - theyre just good positions. We could say the same thing. EXCEPT we did HAVE chances

 

[metalgear]

Scott Parker, take a bow

sandro and BAE for me too.

 

[DHSF]

Scott Parker, take a bow

Unreal reading of the game and he has won everything and allowed us to play the way we have. Our tactics are spot on

 

[linnet_spur]

Everyone has played well, good half that

 

[Bullet]

Incredible intensity from us, pressurising high up the pitch

I doubt we can keep that level up all match... but presumably Swansea will also tire eventually

Agree with others that Lennon could prove pivotal later on

An excellent half from us - we were great without the ball and pretty good with it

Am impressed with the Swans

 

[Tottenham Dave]

Good first half, Swansea living up to their reputation, credit to them.

Need to turn the screw second half.

 

[Roy1983]

Can't believe Modric didn't lay it off to Ade there. Absolutely awful decision. 1-0 HT though.

 

[Hootnow]

Good performance all round imo, final decisions have been poor a few times, from Ade, Modric, Walker etc but the whole team has put in an excellent effort. Especially impressed with what the midfield three has done and the performance of Bale on the left.

Pressing is impressive.

 

[Mulletperm]

Parker has been a monster.

 

[Hootnow]

If we haven't sown up the game by then, or GHod forbid we're drawing or losing, Lennon will make a big difference imo.
