Reading Match Thread

That's as maybe but those 2 strikers are way out of our price range so it's not a realistic comparison. If anyone should be criticised after that first half display it's Bale.

 

I cannot speak for others, but if Defoe scored a hat-trick for us, I'd be the first to sing his praises. Unfortunately, he hasn't done that for a long while.

Just because he scored a simple goal today, I'm not going to ignore his failings in 99% of the chances he's given. If others want to pop on a pair of Defoe patented rose-tinted glasses, fine.

 

Yes, I know that. I was using an extreme example to make a very simple point. Defoe isn't anywhere near their league.

 

So, does Lloris have a face that could curdle milk as he sits on the bench...or was that a load of tabloid sloblock as well?

 

Lennon really should've done better there.

 

I understand the point you are making I just don't think he has had a bad game today.

This could be a long second half unless we get this bloody second goal!

 

Good work from Dembele, poor finish from Defoe.

 

Bit greedy from Bale.

 

Dembele mom for me so far

 

Le Fondre's physicality is causing our centre-backs some problems.
Ongoing thing for us.

 

Arghhhh 2nd goal please, I'm getting nervous

 

This has got "late Reading goal" written all over it

 

Should have put this away in the 1st half. This is feeling very familiar.

 

This is horrible

 

Adebayor, my lord, Adebayor.

 

Spurs need a second to kill this game i think.

 

That was selfish from Defoe. Little lay back was all that was needed

 

Another example of jermain "deadliest finisher in the prem" defoes amazing poaching skills. Get him n siggy off

 

Thanks for pointing that out style! ;-)

 

Huddlestone's coming on. Sigurdsson off and Dembele further forward, perhaps?
