Doing the correct, calm, sensible things in the split second heat of the moment often proves to be our downfall. You just cant teach it, it's inherent in people.
We're under pressure in that last moment because twice either fullback doesn't do the smart thing, play the percentages, play for territory and get it down the other end of the pitch and regroup. Sanchez is probably reluctant because he has no one really ahead of him to hit a ball down the channel to, do it anyway and bollock someone if needs be, don't get caught on the ball. Rose obviously panics about a possibly handball and his default is always to charge forward and take the game to them, it should have just been smashed over the top down the line.
It's down to individuals to manage the pressure and emotion and keep a clear head better.
But we won'tWe are in the same scenario as last season being 2-1 up at half-time, we need to manage this game out & learn lessons !
Nothing less then a win will do now, from a 2-0 position and looking comfortable any kind of dropped points will be unbearable
Spurs have not lost a NLD with Atkinson in charge
Good. They will leave spaces behindArsenal are going to come out firing
He's looked dubious as a CB recently, playing him as at RB is just crazy.Sanchez is a complete liability. Totally out of his depth here.
Lamela is a sending off waiting to happen too, Poch needs to see this coming before it’s too late
Haven’t won one either ?Spurs have not lost a NLD with Atkinson in charge
