[Archived] Tottenham Hotspur vs. Blackburn Rovers

[Tom]

This is fun

Woohoo we're about to reach ten minutes

[MarkBRFC]

Football gods looking down on us?! Spurs miss open goal and hit bar in first 8 mins.

[MarkBRFC71]

Why the shag do we let the opposition have the ball and consistently not put them under ANY pressure? As soon as our players have it they're instantly closed down. Absolute basics of the game for me, yet Kean can't see it and wonders why we're Championship bound.

Why would you set-up with a midfield core of Dunn, Pedersen & Formica?

I've seen more aggression in a stillborn kitten.

[Ferrit]

So basically the tactics are defend as deep as possible then lump it up at every opportunity to the completely overwhelmed yak.

Genius once again.

Is Dunn even on the pitch?

[martypellowe]

Ryan Nelsen with a 90th minute header anyone?

[hesfromburn]

What are we doing??? What the (Please don't use that word again) is this "game-plan" Kean???

Why do we never pass it or try keep the ball?? Its very clear at the moment why we are where we are.

[miqaayil]

this game is too fast for dunn ....he looks like a headless chickem

[davulsukur]

I'll give it 5 mins before they score.

[yoda's brother]

Benny Hill defending.

is he better than dann

[hesfromburn]

good work by olsson and yakubu there!!

[broadsword]

Bet we concede a few late goals looks like the whole team's been on the rip

[jim mk2]

Ryan Nelsen with a 90th minute header anyone?

Good lad Ryan.... he'll head it in his own net.

If by 'this game' you mean 'football', I completely agree with you.

[Rovermatt]

Good break by Olsson who then fails to spot his team's top scorer standing free to his right in a bright yellow shirt...

[martypellowe]

Just throwing this out there, and I might be wrong, but maybe the likes of Dunn wouldn't be so far off the pace if they hadn't spent the night before the match down't pub?

How stupid of you, it's not that simple...Stevie has clearly instructed the boys to maintain a safe distance from the opposition at all times and to get rid as soon as (regardless of whether they are under pressure or not).

The team selection isn't the best IMO.

[broadsword]

Kean feeling the urgency, taking action. I can confirm he's stood up. Not actually giving any instructions, but then he never does

[beerwins]

He has no end product at all, cant remember the amount of times I have seen him do the exact same thing.

[Rovermatt]

Neville thinks we're finding it difficult. Worth every penny...

[martypellowe]

The team selection isn't the best IMO.

For a team with no aggression, we're 19th in the fair play league table this season. Which tbh is more likely to be down to us being off the pace and late challenges.

[DE.]

We never offer any player an outlet for a pass. Pass & move is so basic and our players don't do it.

Incisive stuff from Gary as always.
