Yep, much better from Poch after his mistakes in the game at Turf Moor.Lloris
Walker
Fazio
Dembele
Eriksen
Kane
All played zero mins
Chadli / Townsend / Rose didn't play the full 90.
Happy with that.
Glad you enjoyed itI'm a new Spurs fan, and followed the match thread for the first time today. Very entertaining way to follow a game, particularly one that's not televised and I can only listen to. Thanks all for an enjoyable afternoon in Canada.
Jesus and the Onouma song.loved that game.
1882 were awesome. blocks 32 and 33 were flat as fuck! rose is great going forward and onomah looked really good, very calm, football brain. and the chant was brilliant.
other highlights:
you're just a bus stop in bolton
Quality night in 35 tonight. Well done all.
One thing I would say though, a few "small club" chants are creeping in such as "ahhhhh you're shit" after the keeper takes the goal kick... Let's leave them in the lower leagues please.
whats the 'aaah you're shit' thing?
whilst goalie runs up to take goal kick the fans make noise as if to build up to the kickwhats the 'aaah you're shit' thing?
Another thing: He is direct. Doesn't hold on to the ball for too long, and when there is space, he uses it. Still needs to work on his passing and first touch though.I think Rose's goal further highlights that he is a much better player going forward than as a defender. He could actually be a decent winger. He has good pace. He can see the moves, both as the attacker and as the provider. He is commited and not afraid to go for the ball even if he might get hurt. Decent technical ability. He can cross. And most importantly, because we don't have anyone else right now that does it, he can keep his width and stay on the touchline. And I get the impression that he runs a lot (anyone got any stats?) and can offer something defensively as well, though I feel much more confident with him not being the final player at LB.

then when he kicks it suddenly goes quiet for a split second then, "you're shit! AHHHHH"
pretty sure people sing 'dodgy keeper' and i've seen that at old trafford, the bridge, st james' before.
