Spurs 1 King Gary's Wolves 2 - Verdict Thread

[JadeWolf]

Last year we only won 2 away games all year. We’ve already won 5 this season.

 

[JadeWolf]

Doesn’t Gary have beautiful blue eyes?!

 

[Wolf In Essex]

Doesn’t Gary have beautiful blue eyes?!

Stunning

 

[StaffordWolf]

Anyone fancy another go on Monday night football to talk about how he's taken apart Spurs twice this year?

 

[Mugwump]

Watching the game back again, that was some miss by Spurs towards the end.

 

[Mugwump]

For me it'd be

Rui
Semedo Dawson Boly RAN
Lemina Neves
Neto Cunha Jota
Raul

But there's so many other options too.

We cant play with a back 4. That should be obvious by now

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Doesn’t Gary have beautiful blue eyes?!

And wonderful teeth (for an Englishman)

 

[Adrian_Monk]

Watching the game back again, that was some miss by Spurs towards the end.

It was, but even if his body position is better, still no guarantee he's beating Sa and I'm not sure it was any bigger a chance than the two Vicario superbly saved from Sarabia.

 

[WinchWolf]

Patricio was decent but never a hundred grand a week keeper.

For me his kicking was even worse than Sa, could hardly even reach the halfway line and always to Doherty, he was also rooted to his line too much for me on crosses, but pretty good at shot stopping.

And was less a chance than Hwang stuck over the bar in the first five minutes

You would expect a premier league footballer though to at least test the keeper from there.

 

[Fenrir_]

I don’t get The Patricio love in . He was a decent keeper but he was beaten from distance far too many times especially low down to the left.

See the game against Huddersfield when Mooy scored that free kick. For all of Sa s faults he is a more consistent keeper than Patricio.

Even though Patricio has 100+ caps

He was solid. Very, very few mistakes, brilliant at one on ones, excellent handling. Crap with the ball at his feet and didn't like to come for much but in terms of keeping the ball out of the goal when he should and not dropping howlers he was really reliable

 

[John Wolves Fan]

Another superb victory and beating Tottenham away shows how far we have come.

I knew a bit of support for GON and he might surprise a few and he is doing that.

Europe is a real possibility on this form.

 

[Wolf 82]

And was less a chance than Hwang stuck over the bar in the first five minutes

That Hwang one is a funny one.. from the regular camera angle, it comes fast and looks hard to get over it.. from the behind the goal angle, it’s a shocking miss.

 

[GuzzWolf]

What a team. What a manager.

Which stand are we going to name after the PE teacher then?!

Maybe "St Trinians End" ....

 

[GuzzWolf]

Was sure all week we’d lose today so this victory is even sweeter than normal.

I won a few quid ....lol

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

I won a few quid ....lol

Did you have a wager with @VancouverWolf ?

 

[GuzzWolf]

My Spurs mate messaged me at the end saying we're fast becoming their bogey team!

Was he picking his nose at the time I wonder? We have had some great results against them.

 

[Greeno]

Around the Neto questions (...again and again).

Does make you wonder if the board have said to Gary... "Right, we've got a bit to spend... we might not get the Striker target you want, but... if we don't, we'll try everything in our power (£££) to keep everyone you want in the summer"... and maybe we resist some interest in Neto for now. He's young enough to give us another year. Another season like this from him and we'll be sitting on a kings ransom.

 

[VancouverWolf]

You're kidding me, I felt 1-2 to us was a distinct possibility. They press very high and we are arguably the best counter-attacking team in the division with speed and skill.
My main doubt was the injury to Cunha.

What do I know?……thought Brentford would be a win and a loss today.

He will go for big money but let’s enjoy him first

Patricio is a much more technically sound keeper! Just as you said though, he was stuck to his line and in this league that is a problem!

But would have Patricio over Sa every day of the week.

They are night and day in terms of technical skill and ability

 

[thommo1984]

I am proud of this team. The football is excellent and all the players bust a gut. We also have some seriously talented players. Credit must go to ONeil and his coaches. What a job they are doing. The way they are playing has certainly given me a big lift during some pretty dark times in recent months. They are a joy to watch.

Good on ya, JOS x

Oh god I forgot about that!

 

[SilverstoneWolf]

Fabulous performance! Loved Gomes, Lemina, Semedo , Ait-Nouri ….

On way out I was astounded at THOUSZNDS of young Korean fans all with new scarves etc, How do they get tickets??

If Son leaves, their crowd will collapse by 10k plus…..

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

What do I know?……thought Brentford would be a win and a loss today.

I also thought we'd beat Brentford, a very disappointing result, today though I thought we were in with a chance. I'm not impressed with this spurs coach, he seems to be stuck in one type of plan, and I thought tailor made for Gary.

 

[Bryce]

Semedo is probably the most improved player this season. Far better judgement with and without the ball.
Say what you like but the evidence suggests we are better coached this season and that has to be on O Neil.
35 points in Feb is unreal

 

[Bryce]

We are a counter attacking side. Brentford sat very deep, packed the midfield a nullified any space hitting us on the break because they learned from three previous games . That’s fair play to Frank, even begrudgingly!
Spurs thought their usual game would beat us. High line, fast attacking but we exposed their second string backs and deserved to win.
Again, good tactics and planning well executed

I hope you’re right
Neto seems to relish being the bigger fish in a smaller pond and that’s great for us

Anyone else thinking that JL was an idiot to chuck his toys?
His loss is GONs gain

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

I read that he declined to be interviewed for the Crystal Palace position, apparently wanting a bigger 'project'

 

[SA Wolf]

Match is repeated here on Supersport at 2pm. Will watch, a little more relaxed, knowing the result. Won't stop me shouting at the TV with the squandered chances, though.

 

[SA Wolf]

Do you think that Loppy would have got as much from these players as GON is? I don't, as I believe that Loppy can be a divisive personality, while GON has built a togetherness and team-spirit and established a 'family' as Lemina referred to, recently.

 

[BORN A WOLF]

Joao Gomes, good solid hard working lad.
I Must addmit at first I thought he was a bit of a liability..bit hard into the tackle.
I think that was just him trying to prove himself. Working his way nicely to become a mf general for us.
Good luck young fella, all the best.

 

[Titch]

Can anyone name 3 better away games on the trot than the last 3??

Another top performance, could and should have won by more!

Good atmosphere in the away end, but because of the high roof all the atmosphere disappears!

Half time in the central concourse was crazy, not seen anything like that since Espanyol

I’d go last 4.

Brentford 4-1
Brighton 0-0
Chelsea 4-2
Tottenham 2-1

10 points, 10 goals and we deserved every single one of them points. And to think we couldn’t buy a goal/point/win away for most of last year.

Be interesting to see how we play against Sheffield Utd next week, who will probably also play deep.

I’m never convinced we’ll beat Brentford they’re just one of those teams that are horrible to play against.

Pretty much they are also a team that played us 3 times previously in a short space of time. So know a lot about us and were playing for their pride haha. So I wasn't overly worried by that result.
