That was utter shit.
Have to hand it to Sheffield, they put up a solid show.
If we get the first goal in the away leg we'll be on our way to wem-ber-lee.
Not really gonna complain but should we have been playing the final 15 minutes against 10 men??
Second yellow for deliberate hand ball??
So many teams come to the Lane and play like that. Sit deep and frustrate, it's not rocket science once we've been watched a couple of times. We need some more clever players, move the ball quicker and a striker with some serious pace.
Yeah you know what we're like. Concede one and it's meltdown in our defenceTrue dat bruv, true dat. Nothing a little discipline in the spurs half won;t spoil for them.
What an awful, unacceptable performance. Reminded me of the uncreative shit AVB served up before eventually getting sacked. No cutting edge, no imagination, Kane taken out of the game by being played in midfield. We now have an incredibly tough game to play at Bramall Lane where they will believe they can still beat us, their fans will believe and there will be obvious hometown advantage for the underdog. I seriously hope they don't get an early goal because as this team has shown at Palace they will fold under the slightest amount of pressure.
A poor performance next week and we won't come away with a win. You heard their support tonight you can only imagine what it will be like next week. One game standing between a 7th place a league 1 team and wembley they will be right up for it. Can't afford another performance like to night. But have to say I have more confidence in 451 next week than the 442 tonight.i would take another poor performance next week if the result is the same.
Their pitch is significantly larger than ours, especially wider. We typically fare much better on the wider pitches.
Adebayor isn't some YTS player. He has torn us apart a few times as an opposition player and been a good goalscorer for us too in the past so no reason to be quite so disparaging. He isn't the type to run in behind, he is just a different sort, he prefers to collect deep and hold up, feed it wide and get in the box for a cross.
AVB got results.
Just think he had a bad day at the office today. Not on his game.With Eriksen looking knackered and very few options in the wide AM positions, surely we have to recall Pritchard.
Things start to be heating up a bit but I fear the worst, which would be to buy no one, which would mean that we would have actually weakened the squad.Please please don't tell me we don't need to go into the transfer market...
