MATCH THREAD“ TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR v CARDIFF CITY “ MATCH THREA

Apart from an awful goal which could be used as an example of match fixing we have done well.

I think we have the right set up. Finally camasara is back in the middle.

I don't like Patterson up front because he is shit with the ball but he has to be the best aerial challenger in the league. He needs pace next to him, I'd play Reid there for ralls and drop Arter back.

Pace on the wings is the way to go.. Holliet needs to up his game a little.

There are goals there for us.

Spurs had a great chance just before half-time and beginning of 2nd half.

Come on City!!!!!!!!
We are causing their defence problems....need a bit of luck.

Hoilett has been atrocious! Poor final ball, not beating his man and giving the ball away. He looks totally out of sorts

Bruno Manga is having a poor game defensively

Ralls sent off

Ralls with a desperately late challenge on Moura as the Spurs man breaks forward.

And it’s a straight red. Obvious decision.

Bad challenge.

Bruno Manga is having a poor game defensively

I completely disagree.

Also that was never a red if so then the foul by Sanchez on Patto was also oneZ

Mike Dean !!!
Spurs players reacted and he made the wrong decisuon.
That safeguarding Talks pull him back instead of taking him down??

What a dreadful decision Neil should’ve dropped him when they had their chat

I completely disagree.

Way to late the challenge was.

absolutely stupid firstly why not just block him off? 2nd two other defenders back so no need to make the tackle ,
but looking at it cannot complain at red because it was high and deliberate

Fully deserved red in my opinion.
A clever player would have just pulled his shirt and taken a yellow .
No need to jump in like that.
Hes let his team down with that challenge

Mike Dean !!!

Bloody he'll
Ralls shoud have pulled him back not taken him down. For me it should have been yellow. Dean caved in after Spurs overreacted.

If Ralls tangled legs you have an argument, that was blatant, he lunged for the player and it was stupid.

Could have been a yellow but Ralls was stupid! Should have just pulled Moura back.

Camarasa’s free kick finds Morrison’s head at the back post and Lloris saves it onto the woodwork!

Cardiff might not come much closer than that.

Well at least we won't have him next 3 games now good in a way coz he not good enough in this league at all

Agreed Joe Ralls was sent off for a reckless foul

Ralls sent off

Ralls with a desperately late challenge on Moura as the Spurs man breaks forward.

And it’s a straight red. Obvious decision.

Bad challenge.

Cynical and reckless; deserving of a red card for stupidity alone!

That's twice now and I don't think the manager is going to be very happy with young Ralls!

Shows we don't get the luck any other team and ball hits post goes across goal for tap in?

Harry Kane fires wide, again finding loads of space by peeling away from Manga yet again

To be fair Cardiff having ago

Manga has done well at right back this season.
Problem is against teams like this and the way they overlap we need someone with pace to sit in that position.
This was probably a game for Jazz

Cardiff cannot get out here and Spurs look like they’re just waiting for the right opening to double their lead.

To be fair Cardiff having ago

Annis not sure if it's spurs being poor or city playing a lot better than at any time this season? But in any case we derserve a point for effort at least, it's just our lack of quality in final 3rd that's holding us back.

Double sub

Kadeem Harris and Danny Ward replace Junior Hoilett and Callum Paterson for the Bluebirds.

Allan, you might be right, Spurs not that great today, thankfully

Hardly surprising with 5 players out ! Think another goal is on cards for spurs if they want it.

I just can’t see how we win a single game this season we have absolutely nothing going forward

Ward has gone down with an injury and will have to be replaced. Bobby Reid comes on in his place.

Morrison my man of the match
