Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Stoke City

Going to need a second goal for this one.

 

MF pressing has been poor.
Stoke have a bit more ability now since the days of Pulis and Huthball.

 

How does Shawcross get away with that? Ridiculous.

 

Has the ref been banned from showing any cards?!!

 

****'s sake, Eriksen. That has to go in.

 

Clearly left them in the dressing room.

 

Ref needs to change shirts for a striped wrestling officials top

 

Why'd he hit it so hard? Just place it!

 

Another nice move with a wayward finish. Need to take our chances.

 

We have had 2 great chances we haven't taken. 1-0 is always a dodgy scoreline

 

We're a second half team.

 

Normally he is pretty cool 1 on 1 like that so hard to be too harsh on him

 

We weren't last time we played them!!

 

1-0 HT. A mixed half, but we're in the lead at the break.
Good goal, missed a few good chances, but were on the back foot for quite a while.
Need a focused, strong performances in the second half.

 

They need half time, a couple Lucozades and a telling off from Poch

 

So much for nerves lads

 

We've created a number of chances, which is always a good sign just a shame we didn't take one more of them.
I'm confident and nervous at the same time.

 

Ref is definitely mindful of the panto antics yesterday.
However he will have to give out the yellows soon to someone,
just to keep the players honest.

 

Lol are you the equalizer?

 

Only if his ref awards his team a soft penalty.
