OMT: Spurs v Saudi Sportswashing Machine - Sonny's Farewell

[FolkestoneSpur]

Looks like we will need to buy a new number 10.

I quite fancy that Gibbs White at Forest, wonder if he's got a release clause or something

Not anymore.

Karma for our 'bad behaviour '

Looks like we will need to buy a new number 10.

Hopefully Don Paratici has a few Gibbs-White alternatives lined-up… so we don’t resort to re-signing Eriksen on a free on deadline day, as a stopgap until Maddison and Kulusevski return from injury.

Sons dad cracks me up

He's subbed off and everyone crying/clapping/cheering

He's like a statue

There's only one word going through that man's head while he watches the touching heartfelt goodbyes for his son: WEAK.

 

[metalgear]

great send off for son - he's got the respect of the entire stadium including the Saudi Sportswashing Machine players

oh nothing too interesting about the game except that defence is really different and better under TF.
joelinton is a nasty piece of work - elbowed gray in the face and got away with no punishment
Saudi Sportswashing Machine has an 18 year old Korean winger who impressed me more in his short cameo compared to our Yang.

i hope levy has the power to pull out some emergency funds, we have looked poor so far in attack and with maddison likely out for a long time, we are going to be trouble if we don't get a similar quality replacement

That was a beautiful thing well done Saudi Sportswashing Machine.

That was a beautiful thing well done Saudi Sportswashing Machine.

I remember their fans being brilliant at Mabbutt's farewell game. They embarrassed us by leading the chanting for him for most of the game

 

[stinkfoot]

As much as I hated that elbow on young Archie, what I did enjoy was how he immediately reacted with that awesome crunch of a tackle to win the ball and progress it.

I guess Wilson will be our 10 if we don't sign anyone.

That would be a disaster IMO.

 

[Baleforce]

only seen the highlights, but the goal we conceded was fudging disgraceful

too many up the pitch, somehow a ball from a cb had us only 2 against 3, then the keeper lets it in at the near post

the sort of goal we conceded a thousand times under Ange

 

[Bedfordspurs]

That would be a disaster IMO.

Yep
must have a more composed player

 

[Bullet]

had us only 2 against 3, then the keeper lets it in at the near post

Harsh, it was a missile off the inside of the near post. I don't blame the keeper one bit. It is a myth that keepers should always save near posts shots.

I agree it was too easy for Saudi Sportswashing Machine to carve us open, and I have great faith that Thomas Frank will agree and will deal with that.

In general I could see we were snapping into challenges and winning second balls much more than we did under Ange. These things can seem quite minor, but they really add up e.g. Danso snapping into a challenge for our goal.
