Tottenham Hotspur v Portsmouth (FA Cup) (7th Jan - 12.30pm)

[CarrieFi]

Why are they booing Kane?

I didn’t notice that, was that at half time?

 

[peter merison]

Swanson has done well.

And wins another corner. Royal just losing possession on the right.

Both should be surplus to requirements.

 

[thinktank]

If no signs of real life from sess remainder of the season - get rid.

Have had his back, but it's just not looking like it's going anywhere.

Just have to accept it.

On the plus side, BBC iPlayer means we don’t have to sit and listen to the pundits ripping us to shreds every half time. You know the usual culprits on Sky…

 

[ILSpur]

Ha! Fair enough! I recall he was not comfortable as a wingback, seeing himself more as a fullback. But I’m feeling desperate!

I totally get it. The last time we had competent wingbacks was when Rose and Walker were in their prime with us, so it’s been years. I don’t even think I’m being picky either on that. It’s literally been a revolving door of shit ever since. More than Reguilon, Trippier proved to be the one who got away, I think.

Hell, at this point I’d happily bring back KWP.

 

[NorseYid]

Is there any point to watch the first half?!

Savagery

Shame. Although you’ll always get the “we have nothing to sing about” argument

Doesn't matter, you always sing. It's why I think english support is utter shite (Palace, Newcastle, Leeds aside)

 

[wsussexspur]

Shame. Although you’ll always get the “we have nothing to sing about” argument

Nope they have been shit as much as the rest of the atmosphere. Sat in the east stand and barring the first 5 mins heard nothing from that “constantly” singing section

 

[Doc]

The difference in ability between Sessegnon and somebody like Mitoma at Brighton is startling. Straightline runner, okay for games when you have 40% of the ball, that's about it.

 

[Olaf]

I mean, can you imagine someone being inspired to put in a bid after seeing his performances

Our hope is that a club sees in him the makings of a serviceable RB, not RWB, or maybe RCB.

Best hope is a La Liga loan, must have done quite well over there to get a Barca move in first place

Half of them probably asleep

 

[Bazali]

I didn’t notice that, was that at half time?

No a few times when he got the ball but sound reception not great

I’m hoping to hear Levy/Enic out chanting before long but it will probably be filtered out

 

[matspur]

It's a bit sidewaysey at the moment.......

Vinny would be proud

 

[wsussexspur]

Also ref the atmosphere doesn’t help ground full of day trippers and families

 

[daveyboy88]

Palace

they literally have people who go and dont even watch the game, they face the crowd and get songs going. probably paid by the club to do it

 

[Brian Fantana]

This game is putting my dry January to the test badly!

 

[Notabadsquad]

What injury did Bissomua have in the warm-up?

 

[Gmspurs]

My pompey mate laughing at me because we haven't even had a shot on target against them. With how shit they are and managerless.

Can't argue can I? He has a point

shambolic.

And they've won the FA Cup more recently than us

 

[Tomo]

Conte’s system is wing backs and ours don’t offer much going forward. Why Emerson is on baffles me, not having a go at him he is a defensive RB and not a wing back but we don’t have much of an attacking threat from Pompy so why is Spence not playing.

Sarr has been really good looks a solid DM. Skipp a bit rusty hit and miss, everything else just meh.

 

[iz futbal]

Pompey making us work for it.... Fair play to 'em.

Severely lacking at WB. If we could beat a man in those areas it would open them right up.... As is, we're reliant on moments of individual quality that have yet to come.

They are defending with 8-9 players . So we have to go to the wings and then our wingbacks do nothing. How does Spence not play ahead of Emerson. Its troubling that Conte cant see it.
