OMT: Spurs vs Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.

[Daisuk]

Pochettino needs to lay the law down.
But he will want them to “express themselves” maybe we need to just pick the moments to do this.

Yeah, clearly. It's just stupidity to even try to pull that off in defense, no matter the situation. Pass the ball or fudging clear it.

Spurs MotM candidates please. I'll add a poll in half an hour.

 

[Robspur12]

WTF are you on about? Once again, he was one of our best! He works his socks off, doesn't hide, and was one of very few who didn't look scared brickless when under pressure!

Sissoko was absolutely fine. We must take into account that the busy schedule has meant Poch has had to use the squad which has made the performances a bit disjointed. But it shows our resilience and Poch' s good management to get 2 tough away wins and we should have got more against City.

I thought that was gonna be a "3-0 up at half time vs Emirates Marketing Project, ten men, 3-4 loss" kinda moment

Jeez

Remember we are top 4 AND we played a load of games away from home so we will have a run of home games at some point

 

[Legohamster]

I'm not blaming him at all. Thought he played well. 1st one is all on Trippier, and Trippier pushed 30 yards too high on the 2nd one too, and it's a very soft pen as well.

Agree.

Silly challenge and it was soft but it doesn’t happen if trippier does his job

From Lamela, Sissoko, Moura, Lloris for me

 

[mudshark]

Let's not forget they probably should have had a third penalty as well. Sánchez with his arm round one of their forwards' neck in the box and Dean missed it. We got right outta jail.

Lamela, Sissoko, Lloris or Moura.

Everyone else was brick.

Sissoko, Lamela, Foyth (!), Lloris.

 

[Mosquito_Coasting]

Yeah, I dunno what Sanchez was thinking there. Madness.

 

[scaramanga]

Sissoko was absolutely fine.

Run run run run run spaz. Run run run run run spaz. Run run run run run spaz. Run run run run run spaz.

Sanchez looked really out of place when he came on. Still very young, so he's forgiven. Would've been a different story if we could throw verts on.

Was just outside the box. Wolves player threw himself inside.

Went to fireworks tonight and just got in with 91 mins gone.

How did we play, was it good up to 3-0?

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

It was an ok Sissoko performance tonight. He is never going to lay off a slide pass in the box but he was energetic and stretched them.

Did on Wednesday...sublime

 

[the dza]

Lloris was our man of the match I think, Lamela 2nd. Kane was decent, Son played well when he was on too.

 

[Rorschach]

We certainly rode out luck at the end but the game could've gone differently and at half time we were the better side. If we had been composed after going three nil up, after riding out their pressure for the first 15 minutes of the second, it would've been a much more comfortable result.

Sure but that didn't happen really. We were 2nd best for most of the match IMO. I disagree on our first half performance too but fudge it, who cares? We won.

 

[SteveAWOL]

I didn't think we were that good in the first half actually, and I'm usually a half glass full type. We had a few purple spells which we thankfully scored in but Wolves were the better team overall IMO.

Agreed. Thankfully we have more clinical forwards than Wolves but I’m sure that Mendes will be checking his agency books for one...

 

[Spursman]

Gosh that was a hard watch. Really angered me how we were comfortable and that idiot Trippier decides to try a nut meg!

 

[balesleftboot]

Yes that game was quite sexy but we'd have all probably taken that result before the game, Wolves have been decent this season and managed a draw against City at their place this season. Good result despite the sexy nerves at the end.
