Spurs v Villa Sunday 26 Nov 2pm

[simon j]

I read VAR wasn’t operating correctly at the start of the game. FFS!
Game against Brentford delayed by ten minutes because they had no water in the stadium

Just seen that bit of commentary from Keane ..

‘But defensively from Spurs really .. Spursy’

Ouch.

Fuck him the cork langball. His management career is spursy

What is the rule about offside when the ball is played to someone onside and then they pass it to someone who was initially offside? If they are behind the ball when it's passed that's fine right? The sky commentary was confusing.

 

[Go on son]

No, I needed the manager to admit he got it wrong....which he did.

What did he get wrong today?

 

[Richard Arlison]

It isn’t, he is challenging for the ball when it occurs and you cannot prove it was a deliberate throw of the elbow.

Referees will only give red cards for elbows they are satisfied are deliberately thrown. They have been very consistent on this.

He's challenging for the ball?

Not sure about that.

didnt think it had to be deliberate tbh.
And cash didnt even look at the ball. Straight through the player

 

[happy pants]

that's just some person that's been through a lot I would say.

did you post this for a laugh? pretty sad. I'd delete if I were you.

Somehow you’ve gone through life and not seen The Goonies

Not talking about Cash.

Carlos I think, Villa CB, trying to stop Gil from challenging the keeper for the ball, elbows Gil square in the jaw.

Not a play for the ball or a challenge to get it, he's trying to physically remove Gil and used his elbow.

Clear penalty. could be a red.

Not read what others are saying but we knew our defence was suspect and conceding 2 goals was about what I expected. However we had a number of our first choice attackers playing and created many chances but poor finishing and the inability to stay onside was our downfall. Sometimes instead of shooting they tried an impossible pass and we lost the chance but it was unforgivable for experienced footballers to be offside so many times. Son was the worst offender and must take a good part of the blame for us only scoring once. If Villa’s defenders can be disciplined enough to hold the line then so must our attackers.
whilst not watching Villa before this season, the commentators said that Emery had them playing for offside and we should have been prepared.

 

[Maureen]

For all that Hojbjerg looked good when he came on against Chelsea he's looked terrible today

Thought he had some good moments.

 

[daveyboy88]

ben davies got absolutely mullered in the air defensively and the one time he does get his head on it he misses the goal from 5 yards out.

 

[Maureen]

Because we are playing without CB's!

I said at the time that the Chelsea game will cost us the title chance! We are now staring at our 3rd defeat in a row, with City coming up!

Just sad!

Alfie up next plus all their other 6 footers, rodi, Diaz, aki, Lange

 

[Maureen]

A very un-Ange substitution this, surprised he's not opted for Donley or Veliz

Why not give Finley a go in place of Johnson? He looked gassed or is just lazy. Has no movement nor inclination to run at speed with the ball.

 

[Bazali]

Thought he had some good moments.

He did and had a good shot well saved

For PEH he had a decent game

Still want rid though

 

[Bazali]

Porro certainly. Never been a fan of Kulusevski...too slow...

But difficult to shake off the ball and is a good outlet out wide

One of the first names on the team sheet I would imagine

Finley?
Tf is that?

Some good points but I thought Gil was our worst offender

No confidence in himself and wasted some good shooting opportunities

 

[happy pants]

Hard not to be frustrated by the result. We had and muffed our chances. Good to see Ange ball back and the second string team playing it against a very good side in good form with some utter cunts for players. Matty Cash needs a shiv in him.

Was excellent today , only criticism is not playing a pass sooner or not passing at all and then losing the ball
