Totti Hots versus Mighty Clarets

I would take an 'ugly win or an ugly draw"

We look better organised away with this 4-5-1

Chester Perry · Post by **Chester Perry** » Sun Aug 27, 2017 4:53 pm

a draw will put us above arsenal who are losing 2 - 0 to Liverpool

Westwood for JBG if we are going for a draw? Or Charlie Taylor for JBG?

I'd try Taylor for him.

JBG looks out of it today.
(He'll probably got a last minute winner now).

I cant believe that Taylor isnt playing after his performance last appearance.

Stats showing Spurs 15 shots 0 on target the Clarets 6 with 0 on target, however, didn't Loris have to tip one round the post from Brady early doors?

Good half, hopefully nick 1

We do look incredibly well organised (we are!) but the fear is as the ball continues NOT to stick up front...

Tarks and Mee playing brilliantly

Someone's fibbing somewhere with that 15 plus Lloris has tipped one wide.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sun Aug 27, 2017 4:59 pm

Spurs look most dangerous when we do attack and they counter attack

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sun Aug 27, 2017 5:00 pm

Sports Net coms don't give us a chance of lasting out.
Now those are the odds I like.

Yes - was it perhaps going wide or something? I thought it was on target.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sun Aug 27, 2017 5:00 pm

Sky sports suggesting we've created a few good opportunities, mostly from dead balls, but we've wasted them. Much like last week against West Brom, which is really disappointing.
Hendrick played higher to help Sam , so Scotty needs to start doing the same. Leaving him isolated just concedes possession and replacing him with Wood, would solve nothing.
Still so far so good. Whatever the result, we are a far better team than last year.

It seems to me this silly stat only counts shots saved by the keeper and not shots on target but blocked by a defender.
Loris did make the save though. We got a corner I think?

Wood on early would be good for me

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Aug 27, 2017 5:02 pm

I'll take a 0-0, but the longer this goes on, the more Chris Wood needs to get warming up. Without being able to see into the future, I fancy him to grab one today.

Alli looks unimpressed at his goal.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Aug 27, 2017 5:07 pm

Well, I have some cause to celebrate. Dele Alli is on my fantasy team. So if we're going to lose, I'd rather he scores a few.

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Sun Aug 27, 2017 5:07 pm

Too static in defence

Good game to win now.

GET INTO THEM!!

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Aug 27, 2017 5:08 pm

We're now making an attempt to get forward.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Aug 27, 2017 5:09 pm

Error from Ben Mee for the goal I think

Ball came to him but he didn't anticipate it well and he poked it into the path of Alli.

Yes Ben Mee completely sliced it
