jackyboy Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Performing in training is very different to playing in a match. I remember a lot of years ago George Graham was talking about Ameobi. He said that when you watch him in training he's incredible but he doesn't seem able to take it into a match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Actually a really nice move from back to front for the winner - not transitional at all. I also like how Tonali moves Bissouma to create the angle for Joelinton's pass - really clever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That move that he and Bruno do where they allow the opponent to press and make themselves flat-footed, before shooting off around the corner, can be so effective at opening up play. Joe knows exactly what he's got in mind too because he tells Hall to move it to Burn. I wonder if there was a tactical choice in that because we did it a few times moving central... with mixed results. Gordon lost it dangerously once trying it.

Lotus Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Yeah, the way Bruno and Sandro are pinning their 2 capable CMs back, leaving Maddison as the man to press JL, a mismatch if ever there was one, was very nice. Really hope that was a planned thing. Props also to Burn for that reverse ball. Also, rewatching it, double props to Murphy for holding his run, it’s on a split second before but JL hesitates and Murphy senses that. Perfectly weighted pass from JL. Surgeon with a scalpel, that ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. I’m all for the good old take the man and the ball tackle. Yellows get dished out now for challenges that weren’t even fouls when I played regularly. However. I don’t agree that you can slide in from slightly behind a player, tripping them in the process and only get the ball because they’ve kicked it into you. I know it’s all about opinions. Which makes the game so great. Well, usually but I’m genuinely shocked it’s even a debate and it got glossed over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzla Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (edited) DJ Onedeck was much better than usual Playing some acceptable tunes via that new “submit your match anthem” thing: Fender, Lindisfarne, Journey (not my cup of tea, but a crowd pleaser) Rattled through the half time birthdays, rather than dragging it out for ages Primal Scream at full time cos we won No DJ Fucking Otzi For once I didn’t want to cut off my own ears with a rusty spoon Edited September 2 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so depressing treking up so SJP to get battered by someone like Brighton, sneak wins against shit teams and get pulverised by the top teams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 View From The Lane is a delicious listen in entitlement. They’re much superior across all points Their defence was outstanding and should never been beaten Bucktooth Brennan ruined us like Dan Levy against pensioners where he correctly removed their concessions which was adored by Spurs fans We’re shite aside from upfront and our midfield is atrocious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnbull2000 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (edited) Consensus in press and other fan forums is that we're pretty poor and been very lucky so far this season. The Times match report described our points accumulation as 'unsustainable', and that Spurs ran us ragged. They twice mentions Spurs hit the woodwork, but didn't Isak as well?

Yorkie Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Did they hit the woodwork aside from the total fluke off Longstaff, or whoever it was? It's correct that our results aren't sustainable but the difference is that you'd back us to pick up rather than stay the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I don't know about you guys, but i'd definitely class a defense that let an attacker be completely unmarked in the middle of the box, as well as let a simple through ball straight down the middle of the pitch completely undo them, as "Outstanding".

Pixelphish Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I always think back to the Swansea game under The King. At least we won the passing etc. Not quite the same but you get my point. We weren't brutalised like most are making out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
