Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Watford

HT

The attacks are coming to lame conclusions...need some real conviction

 

0-0 HT. Played some nice stuff, but failed to create much and had a few issues at the back.
Aurier has been poor at both ends, while Tanganga's been good in the air but isn't a left-back and Sarr's giving him a lot of problems.
The lack of a striker is really obvious and we've spent a lot of time playing it about around the box, then doing nothing.

Allan Nielsen as half-time guest? Can we watch that instead of some ropey punditry, please?

 

Another game of no real quality from either side - Until we sign a genuine striker this will continue to be the case. More square pegs in round holes and we look completely disjointed. Might as well give Fernandes some time he cant do any worse than midfielders in the first half.

 

Too congested up front.
Midfield coping more by luck then by design.
Defence holding firm.

 

Tanganga's looking into the sun and he's already made one mistake this half. He needs to be taken off or moved.

 

FTFY

It's the traditional "Spurs don't start the second half until the 48th minute" cockup

 

First bright move of the second half from our lot. Decent cross by Son and Alli probably should do better with the header.

 

Deeney backs into Alderweireld, turns and falls over. That's a dive.

 

It's all kicking off. VAR time.

 

Winks is booked for... something. Doucoure is also booked. Oliver missed it all and just guessed, basically.

 

Son with a decent opportunity on the break. Went too far wide and hit it over.

 

Simple pass from Sonny to Lucas and that would have been a goal

 

So how many players should Watford have on the pitch at this point? Ten or nine?

 

Cathcart's arm hit in the box, again. Not a penalty. Didn't move it and it's close to his body.

 

VAR does not do handball check on handball

VAR does check on non handball


Hmmm

 

So yeah, about not having Parrott as an option on the bench...?

 

Do you think Jose could get Crouchie off his couch just to stand there and head balls down for Son and Lucas. Son get's the ball and 4 players descend on him on the wing...….

 

Penalty. Vertonghen blocks a shot from short range with his arm. That won't be overturned.

 

Ohh and penalty to Watford


Ffs

 

We've been losing midfield for most of the second half, so why the hell hasn't anyone been brought on to turn the tide?

Says a lot that the main positive of this half is Troy Deeney looking miffed at Gazza saving his pen
