Big Geordie Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Pleased spurs took their foot off the gas, as its spared us a hiding. This squad is still woefully short - but we know the owner won't sanction any cash being made available. It's going to be a long hard season. Attsu our best player today by a mile.

jdckelly Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 seemed to be doing fine until Shelvey decided he wanted an extended summer break. Major positive is how well organised the team was, last season in the prem and we probably concede 4 or 5 post red Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 2 injuries, a red card and a loss on the first game of the season is pretty catastrophic We looked okay prior to the red. I think it'd have likely ended 1-0 to Spurs without the red. There was enough in the performance to suggest we could be okay, but will reserve judgement until the closure of the window.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 How did Walker-Peters get MOTM, Atsu has been outplaying him. I think that's right TBH. W-P didn't really do anything, he's only MOTM because of the media narrative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikri Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The early injuries and Shelvey's utter stupidity caused us too much damage. Being forced to make 2 subs before half time restricted what we were able to do later in the game and how we could react to Shelvey being a fucking moron. No idea what might have happened if we'd kept with the same starting 11 through to 60+ minutes, Spurs were giving away stupid fouls of their own and their frustration could have easily led to their own game plan coming apart. Not the best start to the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Day Gadgie Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 How did Walker-Peters get MOTM, Atsu has been outplaying him. The commentators have been kissing his arse since the 1st minute. He got praise for having the most touches after about 20 minutes FFS! Personally i think he had a difficult afternoon but didn't make any big errors so his manager will be reasonably happy with him.

Shearergol Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Reading this thread, sometimes I wonder whether the much-derided mainstream media opinion of our fans is actually fairly accurate. Absolutely embarrassing. Aye. Looking fairly comfortable at 0-0 at HT and quite a few people pissing their pants that we hadn't completely outclassed Spurs and knocked in four or five Yeah, not like anyone is actually basing their opinion on watching us over the last 4 or 5 years is it. Watch every other premiership game this weekend, regardless of the red card we were creating nothing. It's clear to see there is nothing in this team to make us comfortable this year. Going to be relying on moments of brilliance. Even Brighton gave City more of a go yesterday. I expected us to lose today, but I also expected us to have a few corners, see their keeper have to make a few saves. We're exactly the same team as last season. Go back and read match threads if you want a reminder of how poor we actually played. But of course, that means I expect us to be Barca. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 If it wasn't for Shelvey proving ONCE AGAIN that he's a liability, I reckon we could've ground out a 0-0 draw. We weren't too bad up til then. But I'm very concerned about our attacking ability. Just proves how essential it is that we buy at least 3 more players.

High Five o Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Knew it would be tough, but not easy with a retard at cm. We defended well, and the gameplan was clearly to defend deep, and hope for some counter attacks. I am quite happy with the match, we defended well for most part, with two defenders injured early it's not easy. Out offence is hard to judge, as we just tried to counter attack, but it will be interesting to see what we can do against lesser sides. I will not dwell to long on this match, there are worse teams we have to beat. Lejune looked very good, Atsu mom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Certainly don't see anything to panic about after that; we were outclassed after a couple of annoying injuries and a ridiculous red from Shelvey. I still think Spurs would have nicked it, even with eleven men, because they just had more class. Don't think anybody played badly. I worry a bit about Ritchie's effectiveness in this division; he and Perez were both a bit disappointing whereas I thought everyone else did fine. Atsu was good, Merino looked classy, Lascelles did well when he came on and I think Clark has a shout of being our best left-back atm. Need better players and for our best ones not to be stupid cunts. So embarrassing seeing us get drawn in by a bellend like Alli; fell for his antics hook, line and sinker.

Bimpy474 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I thought we had a solid good shape unitl the accidentlyonpurpose, looking to pick them off over the top on the break. Sending off killed that, and then their class told in the end. Not overly disappointed if i'm honest, some encouraging things. Tottenham are a good side and we kept them to a few long shots first half. We were never going to dominate and be all over them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
