Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v West Bromwich Albion

1-0. Vertonghen. Thank **** for that.

 

What a goal! Amazing strike!

 

Actually an OG, I think. Handballs it into his own net.

 

;-)

 

1-0!!!

 

1-0 Vertonghen

 

What do you do if you are WBA ??
Play as is and hope it stays 1-0 til 70 odd minutes ??

 

I'll take it.

 

The thing with this Spurs team is that you don't think that we won't score when we are on top. In past years the crowd would get nervous and then the players and it would get to about 70 minutes and you knew the sucker punch was coming.

 

Pissing about at the back. Bit much.

 

Tony Pulis must have very strong vocal chords. Constantly shouting his head off.

 

A bit too much faffing about for my liking. Keep it professional.

 

That was stupid from Walker. Pointless bit of aggravation.

 

Give Lamela a snorkel , flippers and a yellow card.... Oh and the ref a white shirt !

 

We're getting drawn into their scrappy nonsense and getting distracted from the game.
Need to avoid such sloppy bullshit and close the game out.

 

Two players on the keeper and an attempt to play it into the front post? Yep, it's a Pulis team.

 

Have to say, Pulis has not done the obvious and tried a physical game.

 

Know what you mean. It just feels like the whole is greater than the sum of the pieces more nowadays. That the general sharpness, anticipation, positioning, one-touch stuff etc that the whole team provides can provide openings at any time rather than seeing if a Berba or a VDV or a Bale can provide a moment of magic. Not sure if we have any individual as good as any of those three at creating a bit of magic but it just doesn't matter because of how well this team works together.

 

1-0 HT. Started very well, but then lost our way.
Got the goal and then let failed to push on, descending into stupid, scrappy bollocks.
Need to come out after the break and do a professional job. Kill it.

 

They were literally committing a foul a minute early on.
