good call.

He's doing his best to keep the ball at all costs, even if it means taking players on to go backwards, something we have failed to do all half an desperately needed to do. He fucked up. Absolutely nothing to do with a manager's instructions. If you want a stick to beat Ralf with there are plenty lying around.

the first half or 2021 as a whole?

I might be way off the mark, but statistically speaking, wasn't Davis our best keeper ever in terms of penalty saves?

We've been poor, no doubt about it, but we've had some good chances too.

not a lot he could do. Had to come out they have carved us open time after time. Maybe they will go into their shell a bit now they lead. I wouldnt count on it though.

how many chances. Pretty good game for the neutral

what a miss. thank fuck for that.

and another good chance. Its pretty even stevens. Very fast attacks from both sides.

We could easily have scored there through Ings. Chances at both ends.

we've been bad, but KWP could easily have scored and he's got behind them again. Wide open at both ends.

jesus they have been good. We on the other hand look all over the place. Got to hang on for grim life and hopefully we can get a foothold in the game.

I will say it again, there was a huge push in the back by a WBA player at the back post. If the goal had counted I'd of been fuming. That said, they are murdering us, so a goal will come soon unless something changes soon

tearing us part down this near side. Walcott needs to do a little more to support KWP.

could have been two down already. they look sharp. we need to wake up a bit.

there was massive push in the back by a WBA player in the build up, so a bit of justice there.

is it better and easier to understand than Carragher?

Looks like our strongest available side, on paper, and we have some actual attacking options off the bench now. Which is good to see.

yep. We've been largely shit for months, but that seems to have been forgotten now. WBA form over last six games is 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats, while ours is 4 defeats and 2 wins.

they just stuffed Chelsea. Second bottom or not, they will be confident.

What has impressed me most about Theo on his return has been the desire and work rate. He's seen as a winger or a forward, but Ralf has had absolutely no qualms about him playing right midfield. He has shown willing to get up and down that line all day long. I didn't know we'd get that from him. He's certainly not a world beater, but he offers us something.

Could score for toffee in Greece, but absolutely flying in Holland. Well worth a scouting trip, if it were permitted, but looks like he has a decent all round game, willing to use both feet and the right kind of age. Hard to tell if he has any pace and what he's like against the best defenders.

yep, hence that agent placed advert/reminder by his agent, perhaps to ensure Spurs hurry up/don't rest on their laurels.

count me in. I think that shirt looks great. Add the Saints badge and navy shorts and you have a classic.

Avoided Cit, its therefore a great draw. Leicester are a very good side, as they showed when beating us at their place. We were tremendous in the first half of that game, but they completely stuffed us in the second half. We will have to play bloody well, but we can be hopeful.
