We never really looked like getting more than a draw at best, but I'm going to go ahead and blame absolutely all of this on Shelvey and the injuries.

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 :lol:

Ritvhie has been, incredibly in effective. The only thing of note you can recall from him in this is that stupid challenge.

 

This is where you have to notice the hard work defensively of which he's worked tirelessly. You're right though he's not shown much going forward. Atsu has shown much more in that respect.

:thup:

 

More subs available in the 2nd half would have helped a lot I feel. Could have done with Merino sooner, Mitro for Gayle later.  But we were unable, then Shelvey obviously didnt help

Worst thing about Shelvey is that he's supposed to be one of our main players this year. Some people don't handle responsibility well. Will damage trust between him and the manager, fans and other players. What a melt.

 

He was our captain today as well :lol:

Is there a happy medium on this forum? Or do we only deal in extremes? :lol:

Keep forgetting we're much better away from home ??

 

We were better away from home last year because teams didn't sit back as much and gave us more space. Doubt it will be the same this year. We stay up by getting as many points from home as possible, including in games like this. Shelvey has fucked us royally.
