So obvious Southampton was going to pack the midfield up and play that lump upfront. I'll bring Carroll on for Dempsey, play 4-3-3 and push Holtby up top more.
The way we're playing, we don't even deserve the Europa League.
It may be too late now, but I feel AVB has got to go back to basics. Bale on the left, Lennon on the right, so that their teammates know where they are and can release the ball as early as possible. Our play is too slow because our players are having to look up and track their own bloody teammates. Look how organised Southampton are, it's fucking embarassing.
Funny how Woolwich, Chelski and Manure are never "leggy and tired".
5th is it then.. Levy out
Did spurs even have a shot on goal?
is it me, or did our football team play the ball around a little bit quicker towards the end of the half? I thought I detected a shift in gear, and a little less playing the safe option, but instead opting for the percentage balls, and making good what came out of it.
I loved the pass that Holtby played to release Bale for an unchecked run down the left wing.
Sadly - Bale no longer recognises the left touchline, and chose to do a tree impersonation to thrill the crowd.

Very few players look comfortable on the ball therefore take the safe route and boot it.
Both players with big hair can be rendered sterile with a bit of crowding by the opposition.

Why do Spurs do this to us?
Because they can!!
I think that was the Holtby effect. That's what he does, he plays the ball quickly. To be honest, he is the kind of player the Woolwich usually get. I'm pleased we got him, but the rest of the team need to play the simple balls quickly. pass and run. our movement is very poor in my opinion.
Oh god...:mong:Need a little bit of... urgency
Of course he was.
Right at this very moment AVB is telling the players to play with more
