Come on Spurs turn this around before some muppet pops up using the term Spursy

 

[kaz Hirai]

Ok Spurs let's do this in the first 10 mins

Is that because you think it's going down?

Haha I don't read so good.

We've played very well and threatened loads. It's been all us, really. They got a lucky break with a deflection into their strikers path for the goal.

Shit happens, it's how you respond to it and we've been very determined and persistent.

Wasteful - and thwarted by their keeper - but I love the way we're playing. We are now consistent in our performances and play is at a high level every game. I love it.

Don't let the title being up for grabs distort things.

We're a great team.

Good team. Great teams win things. We haven't won anything yet

It's not Pochettino who should be giving the players a rocket, they are giving it a good go, I think Pochettino has tactically made a dogs dinner of things today.

Eriksen as a CM when you have players like Mason and Bentaleb available, playing Son right and Lamela left meaning neither are as comfortable driving in and firing on their better foot, also meaning they are not creating enough spaces for the full backs (although Walker has been in a couple of decent positions), and I really prefer Trippier and Davies for games against opposition like this, they are just more composed and although Walker's nearly found people, the difference is Trippier gets it in quicker and lifts his head up and his balls invariably are actually targeting someone not just blindly hit into a good area, like Walker's mostly are. On a bus-park day Trippier is the more reliable attacking force.

Without Eriksen in the final third it's like a fucking bumble-fest. Son, Alli, Kane & Lamela all have skills, but they are all prone to trip over the fucking thing at the vital moment too, over or under hit the final ball, shoot when a better pass is on or pass when they should shoot.

And the problem now is who do you take off that means you can still make an offensive impact sub if you have to later ? Poch has basically shoe-horned all his offensive players onto the pitch from the get go.

We've had enough of the ball in great areas to be winning this game, the players are giving it a go, but the tactics haven't done us any favours so far.

 

[GutBucket]

We need Son on a much higher level if we want to win the title, Kane can't win every game alone.

 

[Mr Pink]

If we can score inside the first 10 minutes we will defo win this.

If we've scored by the 60 minute mark, I reckon we'll still win.

 

[CJMurray]

That was not straight at him. He put his right hand out to stop it. It was a fantastic save.

It was far too close to him considering he was 6 yards out and had the entire goal to aim at.

 

[Good Doctor M]

Why the Walker hate today.

Think he's been one of our better performers.

 

[Romulus]

COYS let's get the win..

Show how much you want the title

 

[Bus-Conductor]

On the plus side, I've learnt some new flemish words.

 

[guiltyparty]

Anything but a win today is an awful result, Swansea are piss poor, haven't kept a clean sheet away from home in ages.

But if we're playing the stats game, they haven't lost any game where they've gone 1 up

 

[goughie1966]

Swansea havne't conceded more than 1 goal in a game since the new manager came in.....

 

[heelspurs]

Think it's because this feels like a carbon copy of Palace only a week ago, starts to seem like a pattern as opposed to an anomaly.

2 data points don't bring about a "pattern" or trend.

 

[Borks]

It wont happen but would like to see Mason on for Eriksen and Davies on for Rose and push Alli forward

Lol the Eriksen lovers love your post.

It was far too close to him considering he was 6 yards out and had the entire goal to aim at.

Fair enough. I agree but it was still a great save and 9/10 times would have gone in.

 

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

A draw against this lot at home is a poor result. Yes, their keeper is having a worldy, but we should be used to that by now. Anything less than 3 points is a big missed opportunity.

At the start of the game yeah. From here thinking only a win will do will make things even more frantic.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

That pass from Eriksen. Wow.

 

[riggi]

Fuck sake. Now watch us get relegated
