Agreed. A right footer at left wing back is always making us narrow, it isn't rocket science. 

[Robornio 131]

If Todd’s up to it, get him on. It feels like we’re not sure what to do with the ball.

I'll forgo Christmas presents this year if Norwich would just start taking their chances.

Don't we all

Farke definitely did!

Can we get Skipp for the second half? 😉

Be far more forgiving for it under conte than they would mourinho or nuno, but yes it’s pretty soulless from the home team 

Indeed. It's perfectly understandable from a competitive perspective as they're good on the break and we don't have enough quality in the final third but it must be a tough watch for their lot.

I’ll send that Ferrari back then.

[cambridgeshire canary 7,697]

No clue how Williams is starting over Giannoulis

[Fuzzar 1,836]

Well, a decent performance so far against a top six side away from home. Hopefully Smith can tweak and keep the unbeaten run going. 

[Ken Hairy 4,272]

Why the hell didn't someone just stick in the box at the end there? Back to far too much ****ing about. 

Idah and Gilmour off at HT for me, Gilmour too weak for this level, Idah just not good enough. 

[Virtual reality 852]

Not a bad display, just never fancy us to actually find the net. Skipp is highlighting what we’ve missed since he’s gone back. Hopefully at some point the lightweight mascot we’re giving game time to in the midfield might turn up and do something to justify the hype. Still in this though

Last two performances have been very Farkey haven’t they. Albeit we did get a goal back after conceding versus Newcastle.

[cambridgeshire canary 7,697]

Fair to say we miss Normann and Rashica

[TheGunnShow 7,254]

Left-field I know, but I'd use this as an excuse to see what Sörensen has got in that position.

[Capt. Pants 4,882]

It's easy on the eye but creating little or nothing. Too easy for Spurs, not stretching them at all.

Changes needed.

Idah has done better in this half than any of the players on the bench have done recently.

Rashica is a huge miss (as is Normann)

[ghoul 13]

DG for BW.  LR for BG.  Tell them to just take a bloody shot now and again.  

 

[yellowandgreen 34]

A pretty good half. I still think we will go down but it’s so much better. At least we look in it. Their goal was wonderful skill. But could still get something out of this.

And a Lynx Gift Set. This is mandatory.

Its always about goals and not stats. Shame about the early Pukki chance.

No complaints. We are competing with a different tactic and its hardto say whether Spurs are poor or our tactic is stifling them.

Nothing to lose the second half. Our GD is nowhere as important as trying to score more regularly.

[SwindonCanary 457]

It's a shame we are missing Rashica as we've played quite well and we are one down by a wonder goal.

That of course is the issue, Webber needs to have a good hard look in the mirror after wasting what precious funds we had on players like Tzolis and Sargent who may well be decent in years to come but nowhere near worth what we paid right now.

Sticking Rupp on for Gibson won't solve anything. 😉

[ron obvious 1,698]

Spurs are a real schizo team - brilliant attacking, defensively suspect. This means we're still in it, but we must take our chances this half.

[The Real Buh 3,746]

Maybe the players are playing badly because the minute anyone plays even remotely well for us they are immediately injured

They were what? £10m each?

That's pittance for a PL transfer these days

[Ken Hairy 4,272]

That's an embarrassing reaction from Williams.

But are they worth £20 million combined? On early evidence we've overpaid by about £19 million

Newcastle overpaid by £39 million then if it comes to Joelinton then. We're well in this unless we concede the second.
