Tottenham fans view

Post by beddie » Mon Apr 03, 2017 5:10 pm

This is from a colleagues friend who came up for the game, he goes home and away- aged 65 years young, it was his view and that of some Tottenham friends. First half they thought we played well and were causing their lads at the back a few problems. They thought Gray was our best player with his running causing a few jitters not knowing exactly how to deal with him. Could not understand why he was taken off unless he was injured, that allowed them to push on more. Thought we lacked a pacy midfielder that could drive us on. Thought we had enough quality to stay up. Have to agree about Gray, as to the pacy midfielder, we have what we have.

Fair comment.

'We have what we have'
- pacy international midfielder Brady, who I'm sure will start once he gets the hang of our framework, and so can relax a little more and show us what he can do (within said framework)
- pacy international midfielder JBG, hopefully fit soon
- international playmaker Defour, whose vision and creativity are an alternative to pace.

Agree uwe, but they haven't played too many games between them
and that's the problem at present.

Those that have played haven't been able to get too many points on the board
as of late albeit, apart from Hendrik, Dyche has had to play his Championship winning team
and I don't think they're good enough to be honest.

They must be good enough due to our present position.
We do miss JBG, but can manage if we start putting players in their natural positions. There was an argument for leaving them on the bench when we were getting results, but no excuse now.
One win, wether it's Stoke or a.n.other, and everyone will relax and wonder why the panic.

We'd have bitten people's arm off to be in this spot, with 8 games to go, at the start of the season.

No he hasn't. He chooses to.

The game still turned as much on Hendrick's blunder as Gray's substitution and probably more so. Even though everyone agrees Gray was doing ok and posing a threat and didn't understand him coming off.

Most certainly. Should have booted it into the long side!

Or left it as I'm fairly sure it was going nowhere.
