Having watched the game once in full and extended highlights, there is a lot to be taken from that match; our defensive organisation was, for long periods of time, disciplined and we looked like we had been training to keep the shape that would nullify City's movement. The fact remains that there is only so much you can do against a player of Silva's ability and the resources they are able to call upon.
The trouble was our shocking attacking play. It wasn't as if we didn't have opportunities but each time chose the wrong pass, opted to shoot when numerically advantaged or shanked the ball out when attempting simple passes out wide.
Rarely have I seen Spurs be so profligate in possession but worse, rarely did I ever feel we were going to change. I have said before, as many others have, I'm sure, that Adebayor can play the same position that Dempsey (apparently) plays. As an aside, has a game passed a player by quite so much as yesterdays did Dempsey (yes, Chelsea)?
Adebayor drops so deep, drifts out wide that is often to the detriment of our threat in the box, why not try Defoe and Adebayor in that shape for our next home game?
Finally, Vetonghen's knock is what contributed to us losing but individual errors, again, are undermining the collective effort. Yesterday, having defended so well, Walker has a brain fart, leaves his position (which, left the entire right side open) to gift Aguero possession....if these are to be our undoing then I don't know if it can be labelled poor coaching or lack of awareness on the players behalf but they must be ironed out.

no one cares tbf
Anyone who takes things too seriously on the internet does indeed need to get a life.But here I am forced to wonder why you keep replying and keep throwing around insults if to you this is all meaningless and silly?
Anyone watching the City game? At this rate we might actually score a corner on the weekend
More chance of scoring a goal kick
Only if Lloris gets to take it :bae:
:bale2:He's Italian, whatever team we put out doesn't matter. Two CDM from Mancini every game.
I would love this (love it!) but 1-0 to us is the last scoreline I would expect from this game.
Nutjob.eu is fine for me. Especially if you have an adblock on.
