They definitely did their homework, thought they were pretty impressive how they setup off the ball until they tired.
Same in the reverse fixture; but again they gassed out.

I'm not on a witch hunt about BJ, during the game I said he hit a tame shot when in the clear and that I was surprised when he scored.I do not need to invent an image of you.
Throughout my time on here I've seen you call many poster out on what you perceived to be bad "support" when they criticised a player. I've seen you many times jump at posters if they stated the player was playing poorly (yes they would sometimes use more colourful language but the point stands).
What are you doing now then? you are going on match threads and literally only posting to say how crap Johnson is playing. You're not saying anything else about the game or about anything else. All your focus is to inform everyone that he's playing poorly and your speech about you wanting us to do well doesn't negate the fact that you're acting like a total hypocrite.
It's fine carry on with the witch hunt but please in future don't ever preach to anyone about being a good supporter.
I think it's just relief washing over him. He's missed key chances in previous games and he knew if he missed he'd have got pelted for it and cost us 2 points. Probably all the adrenaline dumping from running full pelt didn't help either. I wouldn;t be concerned.
Don't worry, good ol' VAR would have sorted that one out, if called upon.So what are the rules then really? If this isn’t fouling the keeper then I don’t know what is.
Well thanks for that positive insight into the players performances yesterdayReflecting on the game yesterday.
Someone recently mentioned that Man Utd’s lack of consistency is that they seem to “play in moments”. That seems to be sort of happening with us of late. We blitzed Brentford for 10 minutes then stopped playing, gave up control against Everton home and away, and yesterday seems to have that 20 minute spell after half time when it was all us.
I guess that is because the side hasn’t been settled since Luton away?
Unlike most games this season I am struggling to think that any one of our players had an 8/10 performance or higher
Vicario - great saves but seemed unusually dodgy in distribution
Udogie - have it away loads. Has started to go down a bit too easy as well (see Mitoma chance)
Mickey - I thought it was his worry’s game for us. Again gave it away a lot
Romero - maybe in the running for our MOTM as had a load of good leadership qualities. Again some dodgy passes out late in 2nd half
Porro - a bit missing? Maybe he actually had a good game I just didn’t notice. Didn’t offer much offensively
Starting midfield - all gave up possession constantly. All came up with great moments in the goals
Richi hustled and bustled. Great at beating a man but again passing woeful until he laid in Son
Werner - reasonably crosses in first half into no one. Looks scared to shoot
Deki - I thought he was awful. Then a great pass for the Sarr goal. About all he did
Son and BJ did nothing until the important winner. I didn’t think Biss did much. The subs have Brighton all the momentum if anything.
Gilmour, Gross, Welbeck, Mitoma, Van Hekke (?), Steele were all very good I thought.
Weird game. Stats have us as the better team. Draw would have been fair. But we also deserve it after other recent performances and results
He is a 3rd class prick mate, don't let him get to you.

Did you read my post, Rich?There is someone in front of Vicario in that clip.
You're such a perfect human, we all know it. Let's face it - you post about two thousand times a day telling people what to think, how to behave and what is right and what is wrong.
Sadly the perfect human you imagine yourself to be, and the arbiter of all that is right and proper that you have appointed yourself as- exists only in your mind.
Why isn't there a bug spray that works over the internet?
To be fair, it wasn't that he outpaced Porro, they overloaded our right, so Porro was covering 2 players. As a result, Mitoma got a headstart on Porro, but it only happened on that one occasion because of the overload.With players like Mitoma their reputation colours the way you see what they do.
Mitoma really didn't do much yesterday. He had a chance from our mistake and outpaced Porro on the outside when Porro was running on one leg. Didn't go past Porro in a 1v1 or win a duel in the entire game. Created 1 half chance.
Did you read my post, Rich?
+ another player comes crashing in from the side, behind madders.
Point is: this wouldn't have been a thing, if Ange had nipped it in the bud, form the off.
no my problem is your hypocritical nature.I'm not on a witch hunt about BJ, during the game I said he hit a tame shot when in the clear and that I was surprised when he scored.
After the game I said I felt that he looked poor and still lacking in confidence.
I have also drawn parallels with Richie playing poorly and clearly had lost his confidence.
If I wanted to go on a witch hunt I would start a thread and post ten times a day calling him all manner of abusive things.
None of which I do.
I'm certainly not going to be lectured by someone who happily jumps on any slagging session, and - as it happens I missed most of the game ferrying my daughter around to attend her chosen sport and only got to watch from when he came on, hence why I hadn't commented on anything else.
Not that I spend much time posting during games as I prefer to watch them.
Basically, your problem is the fact that I'm prepared to talk about a player you think is wonderful and I don't share your opinion about him. ie . I don't think he's the second coming of Maradona
Have you noticed he's not a starter any more? So neither does the manager. Something I predicted (guessed) would happen.
Will you be writing sternly worded letters of complaint to him as well?
I'm not being hypocritical at all, I talk about what I see, and not bang on about a wish list of what players will turn into.
One day
Despite any lack of evidence to support it.
You say that about reputation but can’t say I really pay any attention to other teams so didn’t recognise the name - he just stood out in the first half from where I was watching in the south stand.
Indeed! He may have scored which we are greatfull for but if his contribution for the rest of the time is pitiful then does t really help the team. When are under pressure he provides no out ball, doesn’t press or tackle. Basically shows no real commitment to get involved. The goal will undoubtedly mask a million other things.He sucks at everything but sprinting 50 yards.
I’d be amazed if he turns into a player.
His had plenty of ganes to develop his all round team play. His not done no where near enough!Just give him some time...he needs a run of games and some luck and we'll be seeing the 40M player we know him to be...
But he just scored the winner...if memory serves he also scored very recently which seems to suggest he's getting more comfortable...We shall see...it's only been 6 months and he's had NO preseasonHis had plenty of ganes to develop his all round team play. His not done no where near enough!
Ok mateLol / facepalm.
I'll take that every day over being a first class prick (and a miserable dunce like yourself).
Nope. I enjoy going and watching spurs - i don’t madly pay attention beyond that. I’m a spurs fan not a football fan.You didn't recognize Mitoma before this game?
