On the way home from WHL and have this to offer:
Outside the ground felt flat - like a fan base with the wind taken out of their sails. Team selection was surprising - I think I predicted at the time a cricket score either way. Atmosphere was the most downbeat and quiet this season (maybe someone else might have a different opinion).
Some of the football Spurs played 1st half was outstanding. Felt like it was just a case of putting one of the first few chances away and we’d be off to the races. By the time we’d fluffed our 4th and 5th chance I felt like I’d read this script many times before. Predicted a defeat at HT as Villa couldn’t be that poor 2nd half and I thought we’d drop off.
I’m back to thinking that this sodding club is cursed again. The injuries and suspensions alongside the Spursy fragility and predictability is frankly depressing.
We’ll get ironed out in Manchester next Sunday, then we are looking at 4 defeats in a row with West Ham looking to make it 5 next week.
To end on a positive, the football was exhilarating at times. GLC had a very good game. Porro and Udogie all over the show (in a largely good way), Bentancur running things. It clicks (albeit for 45-60 mins) almost every week, just have to look back over the last 3 games to see where points have been lost (yes Romero I’m looking at you…)
