Jase 43,479 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Not sure when was the last time I see such hilarious defending like Spurs did in the second half. One defensive cock-up after another. It wasn't a great performance by any means today but at this point of the season, picking up the wins is more important than the performances (though that's not to say I'll be happy if we continue to play average-ly/poorly but yeah). Agree that we were pretty much given the goals by Tottenham but disagreed on the first and crucial opening goal though. Yes Vertonghen slipped and made the mistake with the back pass but it all initally came from the pressure by Schurrle to force that error. After that though as they say, the rest is history.Think what was frustrating with the performance, especially in the first half (maybe understandable after a week with INT games), we didn't make good use of the possession enough to exploit their high line when they were there to be exploited. We didn't make any mistakes alright but the passes were frustratingly sloppy, players getting caught offside repeatedly and despite having a 3-man midfield, there were not enough forward runs from either Ramires or Lampard to support the attack and connect the midfield with the front 3. It also probably wasn't helped by the fact that we sat a tad too deep which made it easy for Spurs to pick up the balls from their own half, winning those 50-50s/second balls etc (especially when we couldn't even keep the ball to save our lives!). Second half was a bit better with Oscar on in the No.10 role. Gave us something different going forward and helped to make those penetrative runs, albeit with Spurs down 10 men, to exploit their high line.On another thing, I kinda disagree that Tottenham were the better team in the first half. Yeah, they had control in the first half with more of the possession and all that but they didn't even threaten at all. If anything, we made them look a tad better than they were because we didn't step up enough. Spurs arguably had a game plan which was to contain Hazard and stop us from playing but yet, I'm not even sure if they had any plans offensively! Chances from them were very rare and they only had early in the second half and there was none after that. Was also shocked that they didn't threaten us one bit after the sending off. It's almost as if their defensive game plan has completely rendered their offensive one non-existent. Adebayor was hardly a threat, Sigurdsson/Lennon/Walker all went AWOL. There was nothing, just nothing from them.All in all, great win. 4-0 against Spurs. 7 points clear. :blue scalf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I believe I saw Sigurdsson (sp) in the starting 11, but I didn't see him touch the ball once the whole game lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Spurs came with a decent game plan but Vertonghen managed to completely undo their good work. 4-0 flattered us but I can't remember the last time I saw a team capitulate in such a pathetic manner. Totally respect what Sherwood said about his players because there are some complete passengers in that team, like Vertonghen and Walker, whose heads dropped after the second goal. Almost felt sorry for their fans....almost.We were flat for probably 65 minutes of that game but made the most of the mistakes and did enough to get the result. First-half was appalling though and it's a recurring problem but if we can play poorly and keep winning then I won't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
