First half highlights. Game kicks off, youngest daughter screams for a snack. Bloke arrives to clear out a load of rubbish in my front garden. Fill up his trailer. Come back in, eldest daughter throws up. Get back to the telly to see the replay of the goal. Now 15 minutes watching ads and shit punditry before the second half kicks off and the kitchen catches fire.

Conor Coady has been very good for them today.

He's just the sort of defender we should be going after. The likes of Tarkowski, Vestergaard and Coady are good solid defenders. 7 out of 10 every week and put their balls on the line when defending.

Under rated. He’s a leader and a calm presence on the pitch for them nearly every game I see him play. I’d swap him for Dier in a heartbeat. He’s got lots of the facets we are looking for in a player. I bet he wouldn’t cost any more than £15 million. I’d rather have him than Andersen.

Id love to think they looked at that and said "Thats tight to call so just let it stand"

ya know, the way it should be

Nah if it's offside then it should he offside.

The issue is they rule goals out when they're within the margin of error and therefore cannot be objectively correct- as the standard rules say offsides should be judged by.

I have watched some bad teams at Spurs down the years and this is up there with some of the worst. Not because of a lack of talent but the lack of desire, quality, game plan, etc.

I could accept that the relegated team was poor but they gave everything likewise some of the teams of the 90s and 00s. This team plays like a group of mercenaries.

Lo Celso started like a train,1st 20 minutes was very good.
Flashes from Dele.

Steady Eddie performance,

Wolves are poor apart from Traore.

Patricio still complaining when Lo Celso takes that shot is hilarious. Wish that had gone in.

hesitation comes from lack of coaching. Teams that are drilled in attacking possession based football don’t hesitate because they train the same patterns of play daily. After 18 minutes of seemingly only training to play without the ball I’m not surprised we look hesitant.
Bang on. We see teams with half the abilty of our players playing fast, attacking, one/two touch passing. We're not playing thos way because our players are shit. Also until Mason started picking the team it was wholesale sweeping changes every match so nobody knew what the fk they were doing anyway.

obviously glad HK got the goal but bloody hell that was a hard watch, last 5 minutes aside.

Why was that hard to watch?

They barely had a shot on goal, and while our play wasn’t exactly silky smooth, it was dominant.

We were unlucky not to get two more corners, and Conor Coady is playing exceptionally well which has flattered Wolves’ overall performance.

It was all us from start to finish.

Are you talking about spurs or wolves. Spurs have been decent.

GLC is doing what a lot of youngsters do/have done - he's trying too hard.

Reguilon did it for a bit when he arrived, just too much energy, too much effort to impress when he really doesn't need to be so aggressive. If I was in that locker room I'd just ask him to calm down a wee bit and settle into the pace of the game instead of rushing about and cocking up simple passes.
