Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Middlesbrough

I hope the plan is to give White and Devine some minutes

I can't shake the feeling we're going to need them to have some soon...

 

iPlayer app I’d presume, it’s on BBC so things usually get streamed on that too.

One thing to mention: has Dane Scarlett bulked up recently?

He certainly looked like he'd spent time in the gym when he came on against Leeds

 

It just occurred to me we’re playing Boro yet in my mind I had it as Forest, hence the Steve Cooper line…

Bear with me guys, I’m still not 100% right

 

We really need to start well. When we do we generally continue like that ... (City, Leeds) but if we start slowly we don't improve (Southampton, Wolves, Burnley).

They'll be physical and could well sit deep hoping to repeat what Burnley and wolves did.

We also need to take our chances...that's ultimately what cost United.

 

That Boro European Tour 05/06 scarf was because they faced Dnipro in the group.
Didn't have to go there, as it was that weird period with five teams each facing each other once.

 

Spurs lads and lasses in good voice

 

Funny how the people who said we need to keep politics out of football regarding racism are all now happy to clap and wave flags for Ukraine.

Where is the consistency?

 

Borough crowd pretty quiet...thought they'd start off really raucously

 

I can only hear Spurs fans

 

Sessegnon did well there, but he should've released it slightly earlier.

 

WBs have started well. Front three not so much, all have a lost the ball on multiple occasions already.

 

Good until the final third but no cutting edge tbh.

 

This is rubbish. Patience is one thing, but we're creating nothing.

 

Doherty is so basic

 

Bit harsh imo...these are no mugs home or away.
They defend well and work hard and we are matching them.

Ain't been his biggest fan but he's played well so far for me.

Offered more than Kulusevski and Kane tbh...so far

 

Still no replay of that penalty call. Not sure the ball's gone out since, mind.

 

Kulusevski's passing is too slow atm.
His work rate has been good but his first touch a tad heavy.

 

Nearly undone by a simple ball. Looked offside, but that wouldn't have mattered.
