Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Sheffield United

We look so much more dynamic attacking than we ever did under Jose. What on Earth was he doing on the training pitch, you have to wonder.

 

Tactic A: Get the ball to Harry Kane
Tactic B: Get the ball to Son Heung-min
Tactic C: There is no Tactic C

 

Players became scared to take risks...so they stopped showing for the ball imo

 

To be honest, I don't think Sissoko ever showed for the ball at any point, which is why we were so easy to close down because putting someone on Hojbjerg cut out 50% of our out balls

 

Huddersfield 18/19: 16 points. Villa 15/16: 17 points at the end.

 

DGC advised Villa to sell Benteke before that season

 

They sold him to Liverpool for £32.5m, to be fair. That wasn't the problem.
Replacing him with Jordan Ayew and Rudy Gestede, who scored 11 league goals between them was more of an issue.
Conceding 76 goals was the main one. You're going to struggle to win any games with that leaky a defence and they only won 3.

 

Burke and Berge replace Brewster and Bogle at the break. They're definitely not like-for-like. No idea what formation that is.

 

Fleck steps on Lo Celso's head. Should be a red.

 

Not 100% sure if intentional or not but either way, that’s a ****ing nasty one.

 

How the **** is that not a red or even a yellow ffs

 

Cue some derplord thinking refs are punishing us for wanting to join the ESL

That fails to explain the previous 29 years of getting ****ed over by Premier League refs

 

What's the odds on Fleck scoring

 

How the **** has he gotten away with that?!

 

They were managed by The Gilet and Remi Garde......






...nuff said.

 

2-0. Son. Alderweireld with the long range assist.

 

Beautiful pass by Toby, great finish by Son. Lovely that.

 

VAR is such a joke

 

Jesus, that was class for Sonny . It's going to be given offside but still class

 

my lord what a joke.
