It looks like the door is slightly ajar for Spurs right now. They simply must go at us and win today. Villa need 4 more points in 2 games and play us at home. Spurs need to go for it.
Good team that. Pleased Elliott is starting, been our brightest midfield the last month or so and made big difference coming on having an impact.
He needs to show the positivity now. Look forward first and drive the side. Look like he is in the shop window for slot to pick up. There's gravenberch, szoboszlai and jones just waiting for him to play backwards here. None deserve the start over him but gravenberch might feel unlucky.
Really unlucky there. Nice play by Elliott winning the ball setting Salah up and then couldn’t do much more with the right foot volley. Beat the keeper and good block on the line
Better elliot. Wrong pass then 15 seconds later the right press and intercept and right ball to salah. He got the shot on target then.
Nobody likes these silly rules but earlier in season 3 and 4 players surrounding ref over a corner would result in a yellow and son even laid his hand on the ref there. They need to be consistent and not pedantic with silly little rules so they don't choose then after a few rounds to forget thrm
Thankfully spurs have brought lloris version 2 with weak wrists and can’t catch crosses. Lovely cross from gakpo though.
Surprised spurs are not shouting diaz was offside and interfering somehow. Gakpo is not a 9. He's out wide and picks a good ball there bit every time others have got wide (Robertson, salah twice) there's nobody in there.
Looks like there could be lots of goals as both defences look shaky. Keeper should have done better but will take it.
If we actually crossed for headers I'd say we would score a lot today. Nunez is better with his head than his feet. All the space we could want out wide to play in
Thats two calls spurs will blame why tjry are losing. Clear foul on kulu in fairness and thst was certainly a spurs throw.
Erm, not a pen? Defender sticks his foot out, stamps on gakpos foot as he’s gone past him. Stone waller
