Got a real strong scent of **** in my nostrils when I saw that team. Last time I smelt anything that bad was when I visited my nan in the old people's home.
Merino should be starting. Still don't rate Atsu either so would have preferred Murphy to be starting.
That starting XI is depressing. 9 players who played last season. One them who didn't (Manquillo) is ****e. And ****ing Dummett like. Even his pre match Sky sports icon stinks of "I'm absolutely blessed to be here.."
Disciplined enough but you just feel Spurs will get a clear chance eventually. We really needed to make the most of chances like that at the end, Perez being a useless **** again.
Pretty insipid play, we need to retain the ball much better. Long ball up to Gayle is embarrassing. I'm not disappointed to see Spurs control the game, it was expected, but we have been bitterly poor. Ritchie is playing very poorly, keeps losing possession, Hayden is hard working but poor, and our biggest threat Atsu finds absolutely nobody in the box cause Perez and Gayle are pretty lazy. Unfortunately, with two subs down already, the only change we will be able to make is to bring Mitrovic on, rather than Murphy or Aarons who would have been brilliant to use here. I predict a grim and inevitable death by a thousand Erikson shots here. Even more unfortunately, if Lejeune is out for weeks, I think we'll struggle during a period where it is essential we pick up points.
Additionally, can I just state that I want neither Joselu or Kenedy at the club, they won't imprive the side or add quality. If we want to play a **** lump of striker, we have Mitrovic, and if we want a player I believe will be a crock, at least Aarons is a fast crock!
Neither does Gayle, apparently, as he wouldn't support the most promising attack of the match: Harry Kane is the bigger twat though - red card all the way.
