Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland AFC

Which one, the Walker thing or the Vertonghen shirt pull?
Both possible, but hardly excuse the way we've played.

 

maybe Townsend will be useful this half to provide width

 

We're playing like a team that doesn't believe it can win anything.

 

Our speed of play is all over the place.
We're rushing things when we've got time and dawdling when we don't.

 

Was just thinking the exact same thing. At least he would inject energy and intent into our game. Something we seriously lack!

 

Look on the bright side, at least we finally got shot of Ade today.

 

we are closing them down quicker at the back this half...putting them under pressure at the back

 

That'll be punishment for his not having taken the opportunity of going to Villa. The idiot!

 

Son's corners have been **** and he's a goal threat. Can we put someone else on them now, please?

 

terrible pass from Son when we were in a very good position

 

I'm wondering if our current tactic is to bore opponents to death and score when they lose interest? I'm struggling to watch this. Thankfully the US Open final is on tonight to make up for this. It's excruciating.

 

seriously, we need to Chadli off. It's like playing with 10 men with him on

 

Beautiful ball by Mason, but Alli failed to anticipate it.

 

Townsend could slot in there nicely and would give us a lot more than he has to date. He's been dire this season.

 

all the best attempts are from them

 

15 mins gone in this half and still no changes

 

Chadli manages to escape a lot of criticism because he pops up with goals and assists at just the right time. He doesn't do anywhere near enough over 90 mins, IMO.

 

How has nobody got on the end of that Alli ball across the box?!

 

Son replaced. Townsend on, presumably down the right, which is not what I want to see.

 

Son off and Chadli stays on? Wow...now there is a bold decision!
