Unofficial Official OMT - Spurs v Newport

[nayenezgani]

Only Sissoko of those is fully match fit (as in not recovering from injury) and he's clearly not first choice.

Walked right into that.... Onto the game then; gee Llorente is very rusty

 

[Baleforce]

Dirty northern bastards

 

[paxtonwolf]

ffs. p#sssing about with it, and cost us a yellow and a dangerous fk. Sometimes you just have to get rid

 

[Seedy Ron]

Poor decision from Juan.

 

[Baleforce]

Foyth and Vorm trying to emulate Dier and Lloris

 

[Pirate55]

Really poor ball from Foyth. Put Wanyama under pressure and had to give away a free kick and got an early yellow. Stupid from Foyth.

 

[nayenezgani]

What the fudge is Vorm playing at. Deal with it.

 

[PochettinoPochettinoPochettino]

I predict a 1-0 loss.

 

[StephenH]

Speechless

 

[Mikey10]

They are going to run out of gas around the 30 minute mark.

 

[Rorschach]

Spurs not focused enough for my liking. That easily could have been a goal.

If we dont buck our ideas up at the back, you could be onto something. This doesnt like being the walk in the park some may have hoped for

 

[Daisuk]

Well, the pitch isn't an excuse this time.

 

[El Guepardo]

Problem is that Newport arevusing their first team, we are using a mixed bag of players and they’re not used to playing together. Newport are fired up and putting on a lot of pressure. It’s tough but we will get through this. Newport can’t do this for 90 minutes.

 

[Pirate55]

Another sluggish start. Giving the ball away under no pressure

Exactly.

Focus is the key word. The players cant just think 'oh we dont need to try too hard tonight'

Got a feeling Wanyama is gonna get done for a second yellow and then it’s gonna be a struggle. Just a feeling mind you.

Then I guess we use our subs. Premier league team shouldn’t be knackered after 30.

Newport were always going to be up for it. Sometimes you need to earn the right to play and cup games against lower league opposition are often like that.

Pitch was never the problem last time either IMO. Application or lack thereof was the real problem, and signs of it again tonight too.
