Saint_clark Posted 19 March, 2017 Share Posted 19 March, 2017 free kick....wide left about 15 yards outs on the edge of the box was offside to be fair...... JwP to take.........embarrassment Nothing wrong with the freekick routine. Davis just forgot to f*cking go for it. Should have been a penalty as well. Joke.

doddisalegend Posted 19 March, 2017 Share Posted 19 March, 2017 No midfield at all to speak of. Romeu totally overrun on his own. Davis, Ward-Prowse and Tadic nowhere to be seen. I'm all for attacking football, but this is suicide. The squad is unbalanced we have some good elements but we didn't strengthen midfield properly in the summer. Need better midfielders in the summer especially in the holding role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BotleySaint Posted 19 March, 2017 Share Posted 19 March, 2017 2-1 (if we had the pen) would not be a fair half time result though. We've done well after letting in the second goal to hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 19 March, 2017 Share Posted 19 March, 2017 Nothing wrong with the freekick routine. Davis just forgot to f*cking go for it. Should have been a penalty as well. Joke. so plenty went wrong with it. HT totally men against boys. Davis is woeful, Defence getting done in the air by Son and bloody Alli they are a good side, no doubt but we have been poor in possession. Davis making Romeu do two mans work IMO I'd like do see Hoj on for Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenue_Saint Posted 19 March, 2017 Share Posted 19 March, 2017 Play Davis alongside Romeu and central midfield will be overrun, possession conceded and that will almost always be the case against quality opposition. Why is Caceres boy playing in place of Stephens and I pray someone taps Jwp up on internationals. Boufal needs a run in his place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austsaint Posted 19 March, 2017 Share Posted 19 March, 2017 They're better all over the park. We are being slaughtered in mid-field and sadly without Gabbi - zero attacking threat; surely Boufal offers more than Tadic or Ward-Prowse - bring him on.

Heisenberg Posted 19 March, 2017 Share Posted 19 March, 2017 Spurs are a decent team no doubts or disputes. However they are without Kane (top scorer) and we have had 15 days to prepare for this game. Players look slower, weaker and the passing has been pathetic. JWPs free kick at the end summed us up nicely. Seems to be a classic Puel 2k16 performance, not committing players forward and defence looking shakey and sitting deep. A side lacking leadership, pace, ideas and Identity today. V.Poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 19 March, 2017 Share Posted 19 March, 2017 Well that hasn't gone well. 2 down and one injury. Spurs have played well but its very hard to play against 12 and half men(ref and lino) How is tadic incident not a penalty but the Alli one is? Typical biased refeering, scared of making decisions against teams in race for top positions. It would look even worse if tadic had of tucked away that sitter when the lino called a ball that went nowhere near the byline as out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Albert Posted 19 March, 2017 Share Posted 19 March, 2017 One-sided refereeing on the two pen decisions. Spurs midfield has been dominant, not giving the Saints players any time.

Stephens has been a bigger problem and surely last game before Caceres gets a start. Gabbiadini only a strain apparently. Ref misses another blatant shirt pull!
