McCarthy. 3 shots. Ball in the back of the net 3 times. Does he do saves?

Spurs have technically only had one shot in the game.

[Saint NL]

Needed to score again when we were on top.

 

Nervy 2nd half ahead, the high line isn't good for the heart.

 

Glen Hoddle looking rough on bt sports, like he just walked in from the pub

Spurs have their one and only shot of the 1st half in the 45+2 minute and score!

Always works for me. Press on the game, first time round you get adverts, close that link, press on the game again and you get the match.

That was the effect of having both CM’s on yellows, Ward Prowse would’ve hauled down N’Dombele any other game, but ref gave him a shit yellow. McCarthy poor for that goal. 

Bertrand go the yellow card - not Ward-Prowse.  And while McCarthy was poor for the goal it was JWP who lost possession in the lead up.  

[Jimmy_D]

Guh.

We’ll be looking at this one as dropped points if we don’t win.

I'd rather sell all 3 of our goalkeepers and buy another one and have a youth team on the bench.

Really? I was even more wound up thinking Bertrand had got booked which was for absolutely nothing, then it flashed up saying it was JWP which was slightly less ridiculous. Are you sure?

[Kingsland Codger]

I fear we may regret not getting a second goal in that first-half. Spurs cannot be so poor again ... can they?

If we are going to persist with such a high line any keeper we use will need to be playing as a 'sweeper keeper'.

We also need pressure on the ball, having 2 plodders in central midfield makes it easier for them. We need one of OR & JWP and then someone that gets to players quicker. 

[NewYorkSaint]

Really need to win this... We were so much the better team.  

McCarthy has had plenty of amazing games for us. We know he's great. Just hope he doesn't lose confidence. 

[NewYorkSaint]

I really really want to see an Adams goal. He and Djenepo have been fantastic.

I think that's every attack they've had ending in a goal so far. 2 scored 2 disallowed. Defence is missing entirely today. 

[OttawaSaint]

Great they’ve touched the ball twice in our box and it’s 2-1. Wake the fuck up Saints.

This high line is a great idea!

[Disco Stu]

We better hope Salisu improves this defence. Shocking.

[DT]

McCarthy is utter tripe. Absolutely awful. Come off your line and boot it into touch come

[Lord Duckhunter]

Confirmation that it wasn’t JWP booked. They’ll know full well on the pitch who has been booked, so his pathetic attempt at a tackle looks even worse. 

[DG]

Adams has a talent for finding the keeper every time.

And there is the difference.

Thumping incoming.

[qwertyell]

"Che Adams has been playing well..."

 

He's missed three great chances. Shot straight at the keeper twice; dithered and took too many touches on the third.

Works hard, no quality in front of goal. Cost us badly.

[Maggie May]

[OttawaSaint]

Che Adams misses so many sitters.

[GDog07]

Brutally harsh if we don’t come away with a point from this 😩

[OttawaSaint]

Are we actively trying to lose? Persistence with this ludicrous high line that all commentators and fans alike have spotted as being a problem. McCarthy trying to play sweeper. WTF is Ralph playing at?

[Lord Duckhunter]

Fucking Armstrong, bury the fucking thing. Too airy fairy 

[Kingsbridge Saint]

4 shots. 4 times in the back of the net. We’d be better off playing with a cone in goal and an extra midfielder.

[DT]

Loris = good keeper

McCarthy = average at best

the difference  

Ps worst linesman ever?

We can’t finish. 

[OttawaSaint]

Can’t believe I skipped a much needed lie in for this...

[GDog07]

Djenepo such a creative game, making all these runs down the left, created so many good chances and no arsehole can bury them.

[nta786]

the high line has killed us. Again.

[DG]

Fucking useless.

[Disco Stu]

Our defending is just embarrassing. All 3 teams we've played just know to dink it over our back line.

[Turkish]

3 goals and 2 disallowed all the same. Ridiculous 

[OttawaSaint]

What a great idea Ralph. Let’s play a high line and let every team just breeze past us and score. He probably has Son in his FPL.

[badgerx16]

Drop this high line bollox now !

[DG]

Fucking useless.

That says more about our failing high press tactic than the defence.

It’s not just the defenders. The manager tells them how to play, he needs to look at himself. There’s also no pressure on the ball in midfield, easy for them. Had we taken our chances, they’d be dead and buried. Too easy to just blame the defence & keeper. 

[Kingsbridge Saint]

5 shots, 5 times in the back of the net. 2 disallowed for offside. Gifting them chances with the high line and a keeper that can’t save shots. Horrific.

[stknowle]

Sorry but this is utter naive shit from Ralph. 

[simo]

Why play such a high line if we can't defend it? tactics has cost us all 3 of their goals today !

[saint lard]

McCarthy is an accident waiting to happen everytime. 
Adams so wasteful. Yet sometimes his link up is great. 
Hasenhüttl needs to just fuck off with this ridiculous high line. 
 Or he needs to just fuck off. 
 

[Viking Saint]

FFS, has Ralph lost the plot? How obvious is it that you can't play a high line with two pathetically slow CBS?
