Jay Rod and Shane Long simply lack the quality to put the ball in the net. Puel can never alter that as it is born in them despite all the practice and experience these two have had over many years. Gabbiadini was able to immediately he came to us as he took advantage of the assists and had this quality.
We used to park at the old Ordnance Survey Headquarters and coaches were laid on to take us to St Mary's and pick us up just past the Le Tissier arms to take us back. These were free and the Club gave us a pass to show.
The Sky TV etc. gravy train will not last for ever and Kat became owner by default, You cannot blame her if she wishes to consider selling. We do not know if she is really interested in Football apart from the sentimental aspect, but she has done us proud.
We played much better 2nd half but overall Spurs just edged it. FF made some good saves today but again beaten by a shot from outside the penalty area for the first.
Well done and congratulations for Nathan and James. Well deserved to show that hard work and commitment pays off. It would be great if Romeu was called up for Spain now.
No worries about goal scoring at the moment but time for changes in defence now. Give Clasie/Hojberg a game as well as Caceres and the new keeper, resting Stephens, Davis and Forster.
He opts to punch when he should catch, does not dominate his area and lets in too many free kicks from outside the penalty area for my liking. If he is injured, he needs a rest to get on top of his game, his confidence and recovery.
