    How is he dirty or how are you better off without him? To the first, he's always going flying in and raking his studs on players. To the second, he's not very good and gives away stupid fouls.

    Good run from Morgan.

    The famous AVB high line is causing Spurs problems in the same way it did for Chelsea by the looks of it.

    Ah! :D

    QPR, maybe? Him and Barton would make a hell of a centre mid partnership <yikes>

    Good chance for Morgan.

    Got in behind the high line from Spurs but saved by Friedel.

    I think it might just be too high. You have to be fantastic at keeping possession for it to work. And even then it fails from time to time, as Barca have found to their detriment.

    While I'd agree generally, I think it was just bad positioning for the Morgan chance.
    Sloppy and poor communication.

    I have a massive advertisement in the way and I can't find the close tab. Its almost as annoying than having to watch Adam.

    The problem with a high line is that it leaves no room for mistakes I guess.

    And that includes mistakes by the officials.
    You can play it perfectly and get caught out by a poor call by a linesman.

    Big chance for Spurs.

    Lovely ball in from Bale after he cut inside and it hits the post.

    Very poor decision making from Spearing there, he had two options and went for the wrong one (the return pass).

    What a miss from Lennon though. Where would he be without his pace.

    best chance of the match so far...Unfortunately for Spurs....

    Are passing for the most part is good, but we are lacking ac utting edge in the final third...Hopefully this will change if Gerrard, Borini and Carroll come on

    Try putting it in full screen, they usually disappear for me.

    Gerrard and possibly Lucas would make a huge difference. Borini soon too I hope.

    Will only see 15 minutes of the second half, going to see Batman with the girlfriend :headbang:

    No doubt Borini will score a hat-trick.

    I'd say that's true for us too for the most part. Bit of a snoreful first half, hopefully a few additions at half time will liven things up.

    What's your bench like?

    Anyone that can come in and provide something in an attacking sense?
