Swansea vs Spurs: Match Day Thread

TheHoddleWaddle · Jan 2, 2018

I remember playing a game like this on wanstead flats. It rained so much the pond we were next to was spilling over to the point you couldn;t differentiate between the pitch and the pond. At half time we put canoes on our feet and carried on like real men, whilst playing a waterpolo / football hybrid.

That might not have happened actually?

SOngs for half time:-

Anything by wet wet wet
Umberella ella ella eh eh ah
Why does it always rain on me? (Because God thinks you're a ****?)

Forget about a performance tonight. Just get the job done. Ironically just the night for Kane shot on sight policy.

Hugely professional for 25mins there in terrible conditions and a deserved lead.

Ok, the game got a tad sloppy thereafter but in these conditions, I can hardly blame them if balls don't ping in when normally they would - got a bit niggly but so far, Swansea have offered extremely little in an attacking sense.

Relax, we got this and i'll be amazed if a second goal doesn't occur for us.

Is the wind with us in the second half?

Not sure but think we're playing downhill at least

Eriksen needs to have a pop when he gets it 25-30 yards out. He's had loads of opportunities and it could be chaos for the keeper

Our players struggling with the conditions, Swansea players NOT struggling with the conditions!?!?

If you keep this up you’ll pretty quickly find yourself on the list of SC nutters

Lamela started the game well but faded in the last 15 minutes. Reckon he won't be on that much longer.

Played many a times on that same playing field, never good when it gets wet with the amount of pot holes etc, these players don't know what they have today

Crazy place, slopes everywhere with pitches on top of each other.

I once saw a fight kick off between two teams who were playing on different pitches!

Sunday league in WGC, mental!

Ok it's difficult conditions to play in, but after a first half hour where we strolled it, I don't think we've played very sensibly since Swansea found a little fight and have started to scrap. It might be a bit tricky out there, but instead of playing simple passes we have started to try things that are very risky on this pitch and putting our own man in trouble which has led to an increase in the error count - and given them the tiniest sniff of getting back into it and woken the crowd up.

Just simple passes, be very patient, and open them up. We're very capable of that. Cut out the flicks and tricks, it's not the night for them.

Also you have to wonder why after we score early on from Llorente bullying their centre back, and with conditions making a passing game difficult, we haven't then at least whipped a few crosses in to see what happens..... Can no one think for themselves out there?

Glad Kane aint playin in these conditions but its a shame as he would be pinging shots in under flappyhandski left right and center.

Totally let this shower of shit back into this, they're terrible

whey!

We have Davies, Trippier and Llorente on the pitch, just put the ball in the box ffs.. We're not going to score by threading a ball in behind for Llorente. Just put in the air for him.

EJWTartanSpur · Jan 2, 2018

Thank god we don't still have Huddlestone in the middle, in conditions like this he had the turning circle of an oil tanker

ardiles · Jan 2, 2018

If Kane was playing, he'd be taking pot shots from distance. Its not easy for the GK in these slippery conditions.

Pellshek · Jan 2, 2018

I give our players 9/10 for effort in that half in the conditions. Excellent application & concentration.

Yeah, the conditions are atrocious but I haven't seen anyone not trying

It's not about 'not trying' it's about finding a different way, thinking on ya feet, our lot are just taking the easy, safe option and almost fucking it up anyway.

I can't understand why we haven't been taking pops from distance, we have players capable of long range screamers and in these conditions against their keeper it's basically a given that one will go in.

Tippy tappy in this weather is only going to benefit Swansea.

We started well but faded towards the end of the half but given the conditions I think we have played ok, need to improve second half though.

Well considering the pitch wasn't in a bad shape to start with and we aren't a team who pump crosses into the box or take pot shots Im struggling to understand why ppl expect us to suddenly start doing that. The players don't suddenly decide to alter their approach because there is water on the pitch

1-0 at half time in this piss poor weather. I'll take that.

72% possession and we've had one more attempt than them. We're poncing about with the ball in midfield, backwards and sideways, instead of getting wide and sticking it on Llorente's bonce, degree in quantum physics not required!

That's nothing to do with our players attitude.

Another tap-in for Sterling. Bastards.
