Spurs (H) - Post-Match Thread

[Tangled up in blue.]

No they’re top

but obviously that’s assuming all results and scores are the same, which won’t happen

I thought we were level on points

Yeah and selling Torres hasn’t helped. We suddenly look lighter than the other teams at the top in terms of attacking options.. our bench has looked young recently.

Come on.. the media said we have the strongest and deepest squad in the league.

They’d be above us on goal difference

however it’s not worth worrying about it as there’ll inevitably be more twists and turns between now and that match

My dislike of Spurs began in 1981 and grew over the years - this result just added another level of dislike. Still not at the reds' level though.

I thought we were the better side but defended poorly. It happens. My only gripe is that perhaps Stones should have played instead of Laporte who tends to struggle against Kane for some reason. Big game against Everton I think.

No mate, they’ve now gone top. Check out the papers, tv, radio and podcasts tomorrow and Monday.

I think that was a failing in the players. If Pep wanted us to play like that he would have brought Delap on.

Maybe it was desperation but KDB and Mahrez, in particular, were chucking hopeless crosses into the box which was food and drink for Spurs defenders. We never play like that, so dont think it was a tactic of Pep.

Sorry but we do sling hopeful (and mainly hopeless) crosses in all the time. Most times if we do it enough eventually we get a break. Often its because after going sideways ,backwards ,counter clockwise someone eventually lobs in an aimless cross to a midget. Pep must sanction this tactic which is surprising.

It’s that last minute sucker punch that hurts the most. Peter crouch all over again….bastards.

No, not at liverpool levels, agreed, but bloody close.

Yeah we do but in comparison to most clubs I think their the exception rather than the rule. We dont have the striker to play that way, so our go to tactic is overload one of the wings, get in behind and play the pull back. We seemed to lose this later on.
