Match Tottenham vs Swansea City

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Personally i think its cos Swansea have been very disciplined. They are sitting quite deep and Poch's system doesnt work awfully well against that. We are basically hoping for a speculative 20 yarder to go in
Sloppy passing, slipping constantly, heavy touches & brain fade runs by Townsend isn't mainly down to them. We have just switched right off since Gomis went off and our best players are the ones we cant get in to the game (Eriksen, Kane, Chadli). Townsend's been god awful yet I've seen him with it more than those 3 combined. Mason and Dier quite sluggish looking. Hopefully Poch sorts it out at HT or this will be another 2/3 points dropped I'm afraid
 
Carbon copy of 1H vs Fiorentina first leg at Home
Early pressure. Get a deserved goal. Pressure continues, but can't get that 2nd.
Then a silly foul, set piece, shambolic defending and all square at 1-1.
 
We just dont get behind oppo back 4's, because we dont move the ball quickly - hence we always have a a lot of posession in the stats. Its simple... Particularly in the middle, unless one of the midfielders breaks and occupies another centre half
 
Only kind words about that half to Chadli, Eriksen (barely seen but looks good when he gets it), Kane (same as Eriksen), Bentaleb & Walker (great running off the ball that helps Townsend who in turns fucks everything)

That's because every time he and Walker is on the right side together they hog the ball constantly. They are very frustrating when paired, detrimental to the rest of our areas of attack.
 
Feels like a Sherwood game - lacking any quality or intelligence,just running forward and crossing a lot to no cunt. Look like we could get bummed any time they attack. Towsend is having a howler. He is the least aware footballer I think I've ever seen. Makes defoe look like Socrates.
 
Swansea are a good team, they're only one place behind us in the league.

We've had most of the possession, put some good balls in the box and have had shots on goal.

It's like some people think we should be hammering any team we consider "beneath us" after twenty mins or they throw a fucking strop.
