Taliban FC (H) - 4:30pm

[ClemFandango]

Going to be a tough game, although they've had just as much of a rollercoaster as we have recently. They beat Chelsea and United, drew with PSG and then got twatted by Everton.

I can't see many changes from the last game though, but I wouldn't mind seeing Kulusevski in the Number 10 role with Sonny and Johnson/Gil out wide and Richarlison up front. That could be interesting.

 

[Glenjamin]

I just want to see us attack the box quickly and get shots away. We need to shoot alot more in this game!

Newcastle looked completely fucked against Everton so we need to keep the intensity high and burn them out.

 

[ClemFandango]

The Spammers getting battered by Luton just makes me even more annoyed at our result against them.

 

[Dorset]

No surprises:

13 Vicario
23 Porro
17 Romero
33 Davies
38 Udogie
8 Bissouma
29 Sarr
22 Johnson
21 Kulusevski
9 Richarlison
7 Son Heung-min

Substitutes
4 Skipp
5 Højbjerg
11 Gil
12 Emerson Royal
18 Lo Celso
20 Forster
36 Véliz
63 Donley
65 Dorrington

Probably need a win here, 5 games, 1 point is bad, 6 would be crossing the beams. There's enough talent there (and Emerson) to get all the points, but I am feeling jittery as fuck about dropping down below the Taliban.

 

[J.spurs]

This feels like a huge game. Looking round the league, I'm not all that bothered by our recent struggles--there are so many good teams right now that everyone is dropping points, and will continue to do. But we really need to beat this lot at home, especially after Thursday's result.

 

[ClemFandango]

On a bloody plate ..

 

[Havocc]

This team is missing a world class number 9 to bang these chances in. Wish we had of them

 

[ClemFandango]

Veliz is more of a natural striker than Richy and I’d like to see him get more of a chance.

 

[ClemFandango]

Get in! Well deserved

 

[Havocc]

Son is better from the left. Always has been

 

[ClemFandango]

There’s a collectors item .. hah

 

[ClemFandango]

Good half. Sonny and Kulusevski making a difference and playing well.

Bissouma seems up for it as well.

Could even have a couple more at this rate.

 

[Dorset]

Very good half of football that was, if we keep that up it should be 4 or 5 by the end. If you want to whinge about the missed chances then….. fuck off, expecting every attempt to go in the net is like expecting the BNP UK government to not be cunts or @Yid to have a good next life after he was beastly to our spiritual guru. I don’t like Sunday teatime games, they’re unnatural, but I will make an except for this one.

Richarlison has been grafting like a grafty person, couple of misses but a good finish, he could have tried something fancy but he just did what needs to be done. Ben Davies saved a goal, Pedro is great as always and Udogie. I still don’t know about Sarr, is he good? Dunno.

 

[ClemFandango]

Cracking goal.. get in!

 

[ClemFandango]

How the fuck did that stay out ?

 

[Dorset]

Aaarrrrggggh! Johnson, so unlucky, hit the woodwork again.

 

[Dorset]

How the fuck did that stay out ?

Fuck knows, voodoo, a curse from the Harry Krishna bloke?

 

[Dorset]

Pedro thought he was Messi then, cheeky chip the keeper attempt.

 

[J.spurs]

Fuck knows, voodoo, a curse from the Harry Krishna bloke?

Maybe he had tea, onions, or illicit sex before the game

 

[Dorset]

Oh fuck, VAR red card again for Romero?

 

[Dorset]

Romero got away with that, fucking horrible tackle.

 

[Dave]

Oh fuck, VAR red card again for Romero?

He could've easily got a red for that. Stupid tackle...yet again. He really needs to cop on.

 

[Dave]

He could've easily got a red for that. Stupid tackle...yet again. He really needs to cop on.

Anyway, bolox to that...4-0!!!!! Yeeesssssss!!

 

[Dorset]

Stupid, stupid, stupid, Hodgepodge fucks up a perfect evening. We were unlucky today, could have been 8 or 9, oh well 4 will do vey nicely, back on track.

 

[Havocc]

Back to winning ways! I can start to feel all christmassy now

 

[J.spurs]

Just a brilliant performance, and it couldn't have come at a better time. The passing move that led to Johnson's near goal was as good as anything I've seen from a Spurs team in a long time. We were dangerous on the break and in the buildup, way more cutting edge than against the spammers.

Got away with one on Romero's yellow (though in his defense he did slip a bit with his standing leg) and PEH's foolish pass should push him further down the bench.

 

[BrooklynYid]

Great to get back on track. NU is a bit of a cautionary tale for us. With so many games, you have to adjust your tactics at times. With injuries and Europe it's hard to play dull throttle every match. That or Levy needs to open the bank and and sign top class players in every position. Not gonna happen. And Romero should have been hauled off after that challenge. There's tough and there's stupid, and he is leaning stupid. But Sarr really played wonderfully. What a find!

 

[ClemFandango]

Some great performances throughout the team. Davies was very good at the back. Porro was also excellent.

Got a few games coming up now where we could certainly start to pick up points again and start to make an impression at the top again.

 

[Chavhater01]

Finally!

Great performance, couldn’t fault any of them today, brilliant all round performance. Porro is a sensational footballer, and massive props to Ben Davies, he’s doing a really decent job.
