A basketball game suits Spurs better, we need to control play and gaps will/are appearing.

Like we have when Endo came on

Both sides are very scrappy. It does make you wonder if threre is something wrong with the ball.

We need Diaz to speed up the game. We are falling into their game. We need to test the keeper a lot more. Maybe Elliot for Jones.

Think we were decent for most of the half, to be honest. Settled down and played most of the game in their half. Not exciting but it was controlled.

They’re usually stuck on their own narratives…
It’s not an exciting game, but its also not a horrendous game.
And after a few wobbles, we’ve played out easily from the back especially sinc Endo came on, but they’re still stuck on the first narrative.
What it is, is a cagey game, especially from Liverpool

Agree. I thought it was whiplash. Commentators just said headed to a hospital for more tests.

He is conscious and talking to personell, they write. I think he will be ok. Maybe rattled his brain and need a few days off.

What do people mean by speeding up? the if it is shorts passes with give and goes to work it through the 3rd yep all good, but if you mean by going longer trying worldie passes then no.

You can’t play at a breakneck speed all the time you accelerate the tempo at the right moment.

I would say apart from a player taking too many touches we look a far better team by controlling possession, drawing teams on to us then speeding up play to get in behind.

For me our downfall against United is that we didn’t do this, after the 1st 25/30mins we went long far too much

Mods, is it possible to get someone banned on the forum jus because i feel like it?

How I long for @cynicaloldgit to reassure us this will end 2-0

It will. After the second leg.
