Spurs (H) Premier League 27/10/19 - 16:30

Just dont give up these boys, do they?

 

The good thing about conceeding a 1st minute goal is it gives you virtually all the game to cancel it out! Not that Id recommend conceeding one too often.

 

I thought trent should have cut out the ball down the right that lead to the cross \ shot by Son pinging off Lovren, the ball then falling to Kane to nod in. After that though, it was all one way towards the Spurs goal.

 

I keep banging on about how shit Lloris is. Yes, he has a World Cup and European Nations winners medals but so too would Mingolet if he'd been French. Fuck, even Pickford would have picked up winners medals with France if he'd been old enough. And French, of course.

 

OK this lad may have had a worldie and it's just one game but he stopped everything we threw at him in the first half. Neither did he throw the ball onto his own player like Lloris did last season.

 

Mane had a glorious chance to nod us level in the first half but his timing was just off and he glanced the chance wide. I was beginning to think this was going to be one of those days where wayward finishing and a stand in keeper playing a blinder was going to cost us.

 

It's funny, the lads and I were talking about a Milner for Hendo swap at half time and I said Milner great for pens but his goal return from open play isnt that much better than Hendo's!

 

The lads dont like Hendo much. But I think he does as much of the donkey work Milner does but doesnt get the praise. But today I thought he had a very, very good game, the type of game his detractors dont recognise or acknowledge.

 

It looked like another overhit cross from the left into the Kop goal was going to end up going out for a throw when suddenly, Hendo popped up in the right place at the right time to smash it into the net and level the scores. And boy, did he enjoy that.

 

You could feel the confidence inside the ground grow from that moment. Spurs could still be very dangerous on the break especially with Son's speed. Before the equaliser Im not sure if it was just a long punt up field but it pitted Lovren against Son. Lovren looked to be the nailed on winner but a moment's hesitation from him saw Son latch onto the ball, draw Alisson then plant the ball on the angle of post and crossbar. If that had gone in, it would have been a long road back.

 

I thought Fabinho was bossing the game and Id love to see the lad add a couple of goals to his game but that's maybe asking a bit too much!

 

Loads around me were surprised the pen was given but it looked nailed on from my seat at the other end of the SKD Upper! In truth I wasnt that confident as Mo lined up for the pen. The keeper had stopped or blocked just about everything and although puts his laces through it, his technique doesnt look the best in my opinion. But Mo made no mistake even if the keeper hardly moved and the ball didnt look that far out of reach!

 

Make no mistake, this is a massive win. It restores our 6 point lead. We've played all the top 8 except city and they're up at Anfield in 2 weeks.

 

Did I say anthony taylor is a fucking manc twat?

The way the ball mostly sticks to Alisson like glue in pressure situations is a joy after some who treat it like a greased piglet we’ve had to endure in recent decades.

 

Today reminded me of his performance against them in Madrid. Makes things look comfortable due to his all-round game rather than it having been an easy match for a keeper.

Lord Sugar (his twitter is literally called that) doesn't seem too happy.

Spurs were as bad as any big team we've faced in years. Just no juice left in the manager and that squad. Welcome game for us, to be honest. 

[TheHowieLama]

They have won three games this season - and have a goal differential of just one - and are in the bottom half of a league that has at least 12 or 13 teams that are shite. 

They're shite.

You know you're a cunt when you have a tax named after you.

Let what bellends are in the studio for MOTD2 and what utter shite they will spout

[Lee909]

Oh it Crouchie and Ian Wright so might not be bad

[Lee909]

Why the fuck do they have guys from the Annfield wrap, SOS, and Red men TV on before game. Don't need to hear from super fans spouting shite

BBC shitfest.  It's bad enough coming across the bollocks on youtube.

[The Golden Eel]

My mum was at my house when the game started earlier and when Spurs scored, she goes, "How can there be a goal already?". Me, "Because they just scored". Her, "I know, but it's only started". Me, "Yes, you can score at any time once it starts". Not really a conversation I was wanting at that stage. 

[Lee909]

Didn't see the Spurs goal earlier

 

Bit unlucky but fucking hell Dejan, turning his face from the ball. Unlucky it hits post but man the fuck up

[Jordy Brouwer]

Ian Wright is my favourite pundit by a long way. Always willing to to hear his point of view. 

[J-V]

"Nullified Danny Rose's threat"  His threat is up there with Winks influence.

Don't see how any blame can be attached to Lovren, he got his head on a fast moving ball and tried to put it wide.

The main problem was our terrible attempts to tackle Sissoko through the midfield.  Hendo wasn't great, and Gini was very poor.

Lovren didn't cover himself in glory with his positioning for the rest of the game though. 

[Dr Nowt]

Hendo’s finish for that goal gets better every time I see it. Particularly given the significance.

Yup.  Left foot too.  Anywhere else than that tiny segment and it was either blocked or wide.

Should shut his detractors up for at least 30 seconds.

He turns his head from the pictures I've seen,could be wrong.

Great line on MOTD after Rose's shit shot: "On his right foot; not his favourite.  Might not even be his second favourite."

This. I don't know what the fuck is going to happen this season, so to sound like the players post match, nothing for it except trying to take 3 points each match and see where we end up at the end of the season. Anything else is a waste of energy and focus.

If we're still clear at the top at the end of February, then I might start looking at fixtures and totting up possible points; but we won't be, so it's moot.

Hendo starting his run from about 10 yards outside the box again, so he's first to the rebound off the pen, really hope he gets to bury one of those one day. 

[Lee909]

We need to keep a gap

 

Arsenal away

Chelsea home

Newcastle away

 

For the last three and City have a easy run in Bournemouth, Watford, Norwich last three. How the fuck do they ha e Norwich last when they played them so early

I've always thought he was just too reactionary. His views on England are basically rubbish to me.

Who was the bellend commentating on the game for MOTD? Seemed to be watching a different game to everyone else
