Swansea (H) 03-Dec

[Totti]

lol he missed anyway

 

[Suzyfree]

The way refs never book anyone early youd think players would spend the first 10 mins trying to injury or beat up the opposition. Don't get the unofficial can't card anyone at the start rule.

Leniency. Benefit of the doubt.

Not too good to be too card happy.

 

[Totti]

What a cross, what a header, what a save!

 

[Totti]

I remember Pochettino absolutely blasting Dier for playing long in his first season, yet we play so many long balls from the back now when we could just keep possesison. Strange.

 

[Suzyfree]

Why are referees wearing pink shirts? Is it a seasonal thing?

 

[Rhody Tottenham Fan]

Considering what our possession often leads to, I don't mind the occasional long ball. Change it up.

So you'd rather us lose possession?

 

[Furball man]

Anyone want a packet of crisps ?

Ready salted

 

[Rhody Tottenham Fan]

So you'd rather us lose possession?

Obviously not. The purpose of any pass is to go to one's own teammate. Spurs will dominate possession; a few a game are not going to kill our chances.

 

[Crockett]

Toe poke to the near post and that would have been a goal for Wanyama. It doesn't always have to be pretty.

 

[Suzyfree]

So you'd rather us lose possession?

Possession without penetration is pointless.

 

[Totti]

I mus admit, I do love Son's semi stepover and hit and hope crosses into the box whilst giving the ball away the majority of the match. Good asset to the team.

 

[Hazza]

Because we are not that good at passing the ball mate. Our passing is too slow and predictable, and it's better to lose possession with a long ball that bypasses the midfield than losing it near the half-way line when trying to play it out.

 

[Mick Cooper]

Good to see Son not squandering possession and taking the full back on. Just needs to hold his station

 

[Don Giovanni]

That fraud ignored Eriksen's run.

 

[Suzyfree]

Because we are not that good at passing the ball mate. Our passing is too slow and predictable, and it's better to lose possession with a long ball that bypasses the midfield than losing it near the half-way line when trying to play it out.

Or it could be Poch's philosophy to play short passing from the back. That was his signature when he was managing Southampton.

 

[SoCalSpurs]

It's like we're allergic to kicking the ball over the backline

 

[Totti]

This game is is crying out for pace and width with N'Koudou.

Not Son I am afraid.

 

[Totti]

That is the Dembele that I love, beautiful stuff.

Bob Bradley is turning Swansea into a MLS team. Sad!
