Spurs (a) build up thread

[danperkins]

Bobby's movement class tonight, Trent looking for him short balls inside, great to see us mixing it up. We've been better side just that end product. Mane is way off, he even miss hit the cross, needs a goal desperately. Jose can't park the bus anymore

[Buzzo]

When Bobby plays well we play well. He has been everywhere, not given the ball away once.

Hopefully we can kick on from that. Spurs have been awful.

[Roboklopp]

The old man is ok though right? Don’t worry about the rest of it!

Yes thanks mate, just about. Big black eye, stitches and graze. Apparently nothing too serious for now but him falling was inevitable- dementia has ****ed his walking like it did Mum’s so he’s very unstable, even with a stick. Goes walking for miles every day too

[DeanoUK]

I'm with you on the celebration. I was waiting for it to get disallowed!

It’s a **** state of affairs isn’t it!

[Fredo]

Trent back to his best, Gini his old elastic sticky legs best and Thiago, my word, in that no 8 position he's been great. The front 3 have been good and in defence Matip and Hendo ruling it. We need to keep it up as I thought Spurs have been good with the ball, but defensively we've been great.

We just need a win.

I thought Mane had a good half, not sure what the criticism is

He was everywhere. The quality of what he did when he got the ball was all over the place..!

[Fredo]

Great play from Sadio in the build up.

We’ve more than deserved that. Shocking defending from Spurs.

Think it's more brilliant play from us. I like our relentlessness tonight. We keep making these runs and the hunger seems to be back.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Much better half that!

I thought up until his cross Mane was having a shocker but his movement was better than recent weeks. Salah has created 2/3 major moments and Firmino has been really good, could maybe pick the pace up at times.

Better from Trent as well, positive signs!

Bobby man of the first half... Mane and Salah off the pace completely... losing the ball all over the place.

Thiago decent too, if a little bit heavy handed with flying tackles. Gini continues to go round in circles, Trent needs to stop crossing (****e) and keep playing those short passes inside. Too much space at the back for the long ball still, that needs sorting. Keep going in hard on Kane, lads he’s nearly crocked...

Missed chances in a normal season he’d bury.. and he’s lost possession a lot for him... ball bouncing off him.

An in form Mane would have scored three but he is getting in great positions and improving AND has an assist.

Huh? I think they've been great. Movement and showing for the ball, never giving up.

[Rich]

Thought Mane was struggling but did really well for the goal - and you cannot fault his work rate.

Hopefully we can stick it out for the 3 points.
