    How only 3 minutes added????

    Poor goal to concede. Think we'll struggle to get anything out of this now.

    Anderson has been dreadful in everything he’s done. Didn’t go with the runner and it was so easy for the guy crossing.
  • alderzalderz
    Anderson REALLY not on it today
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    How was that not 2? Dreadful defending but great from Fabianski.
  • alderzalderz
    Almost a second after Anderson let's (I think it was) Lamela skip around him as if he wasn't there
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    Fabianski keeping us in it.

    fabianski keeps us in the game with that double save at end, Anderson , yeh a very poor 1st half, still in it, so ;scarf

    Pretty poor from us. Nowhere near as intense as we have been in recent weeks. Very flat. Might be worth putting Hernandez on with Arnie and force the game more. That spurs midfield is not as strong as it could be.

    Our players talk the talk all week but rarely walk the walk. You wouldn't think we were the home side in a London derby.

    Think people are being harsh re: Anderson's defending. It's not like he isn't getting back, or getting beaten by a dumper truck. And where was Cresers during the build up?

    Goal apart, I enjoyed how we approached that half; good to see Pelle trusting Diangana.

    We've shown enough to suggest we aren't out of this, IMO.

    COYI

    We need to get some shots in though. Only one shot in that half.

    half time rollicking followed by full time frolicking


    (can you imagine Bonzo 'frolicking'? Well its 2018 eh...
  • alderzalderz
    what a save by Lloris
  • alderzalderz
    Big tackles from Diop and Cresswell ;ok
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Ref blows for a spurs injury, definitely not a head injury or anything that serious, why???

    I never get it when ref's do that

    In a similar vein, Alonso was down in the Chelsea box in the early game, holding his head, ref let's play go on and Utd score, Alonso then straightaway gets up, no head injury.

    2 points, firstly, retrospective action against Alonso for trying to deceive the ref? (not gonna happen but it should to stop fakers as it's a tactic that will happen more and more). But secondly, would the ref have blown if it wasn't Utd attacking (as in a non top 6 team), and my guess is yes (happened against us the other week).

    Noble in the book, surprised it took this long to be honest.
  • alderzalderz
    Arnie having a quiet disagreement with Sanchez there ;lol
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Another chance for Arnautovic and one for Balbuena from the resulting corner.

    No goals for us today.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Arnie forces another save from Lloris, and then Rocky heads wide from the resulting corner.

    Now a melee involving Arnie and Sanchez.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Btw, Hernandez came on for Anderson a few minutes ago.
  • alderzalderz
    Issa Diop has been fantastic again today. I really, really rate him
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Oh no, commentator just said Sanchez waiting for his first goal for Spurs ;doh

    Another corner, at least no Anderson lol
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Great chance for Diop but heads wide.
  • alderzalderz
    Antonio on for Noble. All out attack
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Antonio on for Noble.
