I saw the game on tely today. First for a long time due to a rather busy couple of months.... anyway.. was very disapointed with the tactical sence of the players. I mean, it should be simple 101 stuf that you "end" you attack and build uos at all costs when playing a team that plays counter attack like spurs did today. Keane and defoe are both great players. especially when given the oppotunnities they where. Lucas, fergie, tugay well everybody really needs to shoot more cross the ball higher so it doesn't hit the front man etc. and therefor restrict the oppotunities for counters. the way they played tonight with constantly trying neat 1-2 and deep passes straight through the middle is just suicede. and so it proved.
And by the way where the heck did fergie go today. when he had the ball it was obvious he has the skill. the passes are hard and quite accurate, but he did not run the game as he shold've.
And what a goal to concede. again a bit of professionalism would be nice. just make the free kick round the center of the pitch and no worries - but no... instead brown is allowed to round all the way down our end. crist sake!! Hughesy make em watch to ours of italian footbal every day for two weeks. not any longer though. we dont want the fun taken out of the beutifull game=)
Anyway. good things showing though. we could stay up yet.
cheers all
