MATCH THREAD“ TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR v CARDIFF CITY “ MATCH THREA

Sol fuking bamba shouldn't be in this team ffs

It was awful defending by City

1-0

Sol lost his man (again)

We are just to slow in thought get caught out at back and get caught in possession going forward! But total luck with way ball ended at spurs feet for goal.

What the hell is the point with Paterson up front?? He will win two headers all game.. It’s like playing with ten men ffs.

We get into promising position going forward but all season we are either to slow or choose wrong ball!

Joe Bennett looked like he was having a nightmare and stood still for Dier, plus was beaten and lost the ball on many occasions.

Poor goal to give away. Still think it should be Bamba or Morrison with Manga in the centre. Not a good start from Hoillet giving away free jicks.
BUT early yet and there's time for us to get back into it.

'Neil Warnock's barmy army'

The travelling Bluebirds singing loud

We nearly nearly scored

The whole team looks unbalanced today

Cardiff come agonisingly close!

Murphy chases a seemingly lost cause downfield, beating Alderweireld and Rose for pace. He then chips it towards goal but it doesn’t have enough on it - and Hoilett cannot scramble over the line.

Camarasa takes a free kick in a good position for Cardiff and it’s cleared by Dier’s head.

More positive stuff from the Bluebirds here though, but they still trail to Dier’s goal.

Cannot afford to miss chances like hoiletts just now! 6 ins closer and city scores!

This is better stuff Bluebirds

A great jinking run from Hoilett has Spurs’ defenders beaten, before Hoilett goes down appealing for a penalty.

Not enough of a touch from Dier to be given in all honesty.

The Cardiff fans’ noise tells you that the visitors are seriously coming back into this though.

Sorry we are so poor at keeping ball and finding own players even from 10yds yds so frustrating.

Cardiff were making to many errors

Cardiff having ago now

Kane battles through several Cardiff challenges, and it’s all a bit scruff as Morrison attempts to clear - but skies it not very far.

Should be 2-0

Son goes past Bruno Manga like he’s not there, continuing a fine move that started with Harry Winks.

The Korean pulls it back for Lucas Moura, who probably should score from six yards out. A lot of bodies in the box and that made the Brazilian guide it wide.

Let off for Cardiff towards the end of the first half.

Paterson and Murphy looking a dangerous combo upfront! Paterson is winning everything in the air and Murphy is latching on to the flick ons and troubling spurs with his pace! We could easily be level after a shaky start!

Change hoilett for Reid we need a bit more invention.

Good performance last 25 mins

A bit more quality and we can get something here

HALF TIME

It was important for Cardiff not to concede a second before half-time and they haven’t.

1-0 Spurs at the break.

A good game both teams have had good chances.
But More or Song should have made it 2 just now.

But for me we are too slow at central defence. You cannot play CAN BE AND MORRISON as a 2 at the back.
On the other hand Patterson has done quite well.

Lot more livelier but still lacking composure going forward ? But maybe this is the formation going forward against our closest rivals in premiership. .

Bloody auto correct.....can't play Bamba AND Morrison together. Both were heroes at Champ level but this s is the Prem.

That's the problem we dont have that quality to change things?

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.

No striker no goals we are going down. Tan out.

Camarasa feeds Hoilett whose cross is tame, but it falls for Arter. The shot from the on-loan Bournemouth player is easily gobbled up by Lloris.
