Don't be daft, we've set out a negative team against a Spurs team who before today had only managed to stop the opposition scoring once.
They rip teams apart on the counter, and supposedly teams have achieved more success by sitting back at WHL. If we'd had a go and lost 4-0 people would be even less happy.
Exactly, thats why we still need to leave Tiote and Smith on because we were always vulnerable on the counter attack.
So the game plan was to try and hold on to the 1-0?
Anycase if you watched the game, Smith and Tiote played much further forward anycase, so it wasn't even like we played 2 DM's all game. Also Barton & Routledge were playing much further forward than the other 2 midfielders/
So Smith and Tiote were on as DM's but they didnt? And Barton and Routledge were doing what they should be doing anyway? I'm sorry but Smith should have come off for Ranger. might as well lose 3-0 if we're chasing a 2-0 lead
