OMT - SPURS v BRIGHTON

[Kandi1977]

I don't like us going this defensive!

 

[AdamB]

We're defending so deep

Need to push up 10 yards

 

[SpurMeUp]

As soon as we take the lead we stop playing and go into a defensive shell.

 

[elyid]

Hugooooo.... good catch.

 

[Baleforce]

Millimetre perfect from Hugo there.

 

[nayenezgani]

I am slightly frustrated at the “play acting” we do when having some contact
It’s part of the game I know but some of them are really weak

Was especially noticable against Antwerp. So many chances to compete and we just fell down. Need to be much stronger at times, particularly for 50-50s.

We needed a goal got on the front foot liked better . Scored now sit back look brick again.

Were we playing before we scored?

 

[AdamB]

When we defend deep like this we make it easy for them to put crosses in from better positions.

Push up 10 yards and cross are more diagonal which makes it harder to score from

What am I missing?

 

[SubZero]

This is supposed to be Jose's speciality. Don't feck this up now.

 

[Goose]

heart in mouth with Lloris there. But with 5 mins left and opposition chasing a goal, we wouldnt have it any other way, would we?

 

[Baleforce]

I hope we go thermonuclear over this ref afterwards.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Were we playing before we scored?

At 0-0 and at 1-1, yes.

 

[elyid]

So close! Good seeing Gio and Bale linking up there.

 

[Kandi1977]

Kane has done nothing than throwing himself to the ground all day.

 

[fernadez]

Is a doubled edged sword.

We shouldn't be defending so deep etc, but at the same time we need to know how to do it above be able to do it to see out games.

You know what time it is don't you?

Hedge hedge hedge away

 

[Kandi1977]

Brighton will score. No doubt about it. We just can't defend like this.

 

[AdamB]

Kane has done nothing than throwing himself to the ground all day.

Yes, not sure we needed both Winks and GLC on the bench, or both Bale and Moura

 

[Daisuk]

6 mins. Ffs. Welbeck goal incoming.
