Apart from Kane's header that he should bury, we haven't really created any chances. Toby's header was unlucky too
Son should have scored when he was put through. Had plenty of space to run at the keeper and slot home but had a snatched shot instead. Had to bury that.
 
people saying this is like the sunderland game are talking crap, alot more chances created - need to move the ball a bit faster but this is alot better performance so far
 
Yeah. I don't see the comparisons with the Sunderland game other than the scoreline.

We're all over them. Playing some lovely stuff and shooting. Think we had more shots that first half then we had the whole Sunderland game didn't we?

Boro are just BETTER defensively than Sunderland and you can tell. Very well drilled.
 
Middlesbrough are another team who seemed to have sussed our play out.. i dont know what we do from here. Cant play fast against a parked bus lol

Revert to the 3-4-2-1 maybe? Winks coming on with 20 mins to go might be a positive change but with the team weve got out there... we should really have enough to get the job done. COYS!!! Lets have it!
 
First half thoughts fwiw-
How the fuck are we not winning?


And


Alli showing superb maturity. Valdez will be in for a 6 match spanking. Alli playing very well

Son- infuriating & exciting in equal measure

Dembele- one moment of absolute majesty. Needs to be more involved offensively.

Kane- must have had a bad night with the baby.

Eriksen- superb performance.

Nearly had riots in the pub when the landlady switched over to the game from the egg chasers. Fucked them off to the other side of the pub.

A bucket of wings & a few more pints...& Spurs to break them eventually.


:tobyarm:O
 
Statistically, with this much pressure, we are bound to score but we've seen more odd things. We have to keep up the pressure because they will not be able to hang with us for another 45 minutes.
 
It's frustrating from a Spurs point of view, obviously, but it's also dispiriting from a general football point of view.
This is supposed to be the beautiful game FFS.
Parking the Bus sides bring out the incredible hulk in me. It's a kind of existential rage.
 
We've had 3-4 golden chances, keep playing the way we are and something will happen. Son, Dele and Kane normally bury those chances and on another day Toby flicks that header in on the front post. No changes for the first 15-20 minutes of the first half please, this lot can break the deadlock and should have already.
 
You'd think how some on here are going on that no other team at the top has to deal with teams parking the bus.
 
Regarding parking the bus, teams play to their strengths. A point is good for Boro, where as a 4-0 loss isnt.
Ever considered that they cant get out?

What should they do, defend with 4 men instead of 8 when we go forward??
