Lighthouse Posted 5 October, 2014 Share Posted 5 October, 2014 Okay, I'm off for a half time lucky sh*t. It will likely sting a bit from the chili sauce I had on my lamb Donner last night. I am not sure if this brings extra luck, I guess we will find out. P.S. You aren't a real man until you've read a Machine Mart catalog whilst taking a dump.

JoeShmoe Posted 5 October, 2014 Share Posted 5 October, 2014 Spurs have been by far the better team, their attacking 3 have pressed and worked and bossed the game, Erikksen has had so much space, Poch getting that pressing game were all so familiar with Need a Koeman half time rocket, Schniederlin and Wanyama have been poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Patrón Posted 5 October, 2014 Share Posted 5 October, 2014 Tight game, I'd get Long on for Mane at HT, he's been useless after the first 15 or so.

craigthesaint Posted 5 October, 2014 Share Posted 5 October, 2014 A combination of Tottenhams best half and a distinctly average one by our recent performances BUT we are still in the race at half time so hopefully we can come out in the 2nd half and play better as they will certainly not keep up the pace that they played the first half at for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 5 October, 2014 Share Posted 5 October, 2014 Wanyama getting penalised for being to strong for adebayor Yep, ridiculous. Earlier in the half Mane and a Spurs player went shoulder to shoulder and Mane stayed on his feet and shrugged him off, no foul was given. Wanyama has gone shoulder to shoulder twice, outmuscled the Spurs player and been penalised both times. It's f*cking ridiculous. Was it just me or was there a handball from that Tadic freekick when it hit the wall? Stream wasn't great but looked like it deflected off the hands of the player. If so, really f*cking annoying - that should be handball all day long, and I specifically remember us having a penalty given against us for that a few years back. I honestly didn't think we were THAT bad. Spurs were very good and we were just...OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 5 October, 2014 Share Posted 5 October, 2014 FFS - Wanyama getting penalised every time he makes a tackle. HT. Spurs undoubtedly been the better team but we have had two or three chances which we might have done better with. A bit lucky we're only one goal behind after Chadli hit the post when he really should have scored, but Koeman has shown already this season that he has the tactical nous to make the right changes when things aren't going our way. If we can get a goal back before conceding again then I still reckon we can get something out of this game, because Poch has been critical of the pace that his team has been playing at so far this season and I doubt they can keep up this tempo for 90+ minutes. Should be an interesting second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austsaint Posted 5 October, 2014 Share Posted 5 October, 2014 The space allowed the Spurs attacking trio is a worry. We look like a middle table side thus far; second best clearly. Let's hope for something better second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted 5 October, 2014 Share Posted 5 October, 2014 I don't understand why Mané has pushed inside when Naughton's replacement, Dyer, is so much slower. Our way back into his game can be with our pace down that flank but not if Mané stays inside. Spurs have played well but they've had to work really hard to do it. I think they could be there for the taking in the last 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igsey Posted 5 October, 2014 Share Posted 5 October, 2014 Nobody's really playing badly, but nobody's having a good game either, least of all the ref. Should be at least 1 yellow per side, and any time Wanyama makes any kind of tackle it's a freekick. I would expect to see a change at HT, either Cork or Long coming on.

Saint_clark Posted 5 October, 2014 Share Posted 5 October, 2014 One thing I really don't like about Pelle is he seems a bit overly selfish. It doesn't matter if the balls passed to him and he messes it up, passed somehwere else or the move dies out, he invariably ends up moaning at the rest of the team. Then today he literally MOVES IN THE WAY of Schneiderlin having a clear shot at goal from 6 yards and deflects it for a goal-kick, and shoots from 20 yards rather than sliding it through for Davis who was free on goal.

Saint86 Posted 5 October, 2014 Share Posted 5 October, 2014 Personally thought the ref has been fairly solid tbh. Consistent with Rose and Bertrand, advantage for Mane, no pen against us for possible handball. Think he has been decent. Sometimes favours the attacker who goes down to easily but is consistent in that and has overall had a decent game so far. Saints need to step it up second half and attack them. Showing too much fear atm. In koeman we trust though, and ultimatley even if we lose this game its not the biggest deal. We are very unlikey to come anywhere near the top 4 positions, so an away defeat against a top 6 side isn't exactly a disaster lets be honest. Expecting us to step it up second half however.
