***Official Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Saudi Sportswashing Machine 8:15pm Tuesday 2nd Dec. ***

[Bishop]

FTFY

The truth may hurt, but it sets you free.

 

[Lakey]

The fudge is Romero doing

 

[Chrissivad]

Udogie stood waiting for an option... Noone moved

 

[Eriktheviking]

Opposition teams always seem to have an option, we dont. Game after game

 

[Rafa87]

We're not very good at playing through the press

We’re bloody brilliant at steaming into it though

 

[Dicko]

....turgid

 

[Kandi1977]

Another stupid, late challenge from Romero.

 

[Outrance]

If Newcash continue to press like this, they'll be knackered before 60 minutes. Stay in the game, and we'll win in the end.

Problem is they will be 3-0 up by 60 minutes and can rest

 

[afsoc4life]

This ref is beginning to make silly decisions.

 

[harr1984]

Exactly - You'd think the older he gets the more mature he gets. But no...

 

[Chrissivad]

We're not very good at playing through the press

Great at playing into their press.
Every time we take the most crowded option

 

[Mulletperm]

Ref is getting sucked in by their rolling around on the floor after every challenge.

 

[Kandi1977]

Never a free kick that! Bents kicks the ball, and is stronger in the upper body! Nothing wrong there!!

 

[DubSpur]

Got to give Saudi Sportswashing Machine credit, their pressing and workrate has been very good

 

[Dicko]

One of the issues with Bergvall is he does lose the ball a hell of a lot. Sometimes unfairly but it's something we have admit happens a bit often for our liking.

I dont think he is anywhere near ready for the PL yet. Does some good things but he's far from reliable enough to play every week in CM

 

[BrentwoodSpur]

Ref waits for crowd and

Ref is getting sucked in by their rolling around on the floor after every challenge.

And the crowd

 

[Lemonade Money]

My 11 year old daughter who has never watched a full game of football in her life has asked me why we keep giving the ball to the other team and if we’re doing it on purpose

Could be a gooner.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Not sure why Guimares isn't playing for them...he's looked bang on form recently

Because I put him in my Fantasy team and took Reinjders out...

 

[Bishop]

The Saudi Sportswashing Machine players for all the talk of them being bruisers are able to get the ball on the half turn, pass it first time. They've played numerous first time passes that disorients our shape. We just seem incapable, it's always into feet, a moment to settle and control and then finally we play it.

Our midfield player profiles are just all wrong imo. Wheres the poise? the touch? the neat flick? the vision? Etc I dunno man there's players don't inspire belief in me.

 

[afsoc4life]

Struggling to understand our play when in possession. Players are trying hard to get possession but when we get it, the play seems disjointed. Excellent skill by Kudus there.
