[Football] MOTD tonight

[Blackadder]

And we get the final goal in the closing montage with the hordes of Albion away fans celebrating.

No complaints here.

THIS

Marvellous Scenes

 

[Invicta]

Enjoyed that tonight. Great result and performance!

Maybe I'm biased, but I thought the analysis from Chris Hughton was the best I've seen from any pundit for a long while.
His know-how was immediately apparent, from shutting down the service to Kane (result, Spurs had no shots on target, none), to closing down Spurs' passing options when we didn't have possession.

Chris Hughton coming across as a man who really knows his stuff. His analysis was spot on, and not the usual obvious bollox that some other analysers come out with.

Please can we have Chris and Wrighty every week.

Wrighty? It was Dion Dublin !

So just the commentator being a bit of a numpty by apportioning some blame to Cucurella in ‘that’ incident

Apart from that all good

I had absolutely no idea what he was getting at with the “Cucurella didn’t help himself” comment. Bizarre

 

[Gazwag]

That was silly, he painted a picture of a violent running battle between the pair.

Unlike BT which I watched after I got home and they were 100% saying it was a sending off

Spot on from Chris, first commentator to point out what many of us have known for some time - it's not about the opposition being slow out of the blocks, sloppy passing, below parr performance. It's because our tactics make them look like that, swamping zones in a high press forces sloppy passing as players dither with a lack of an out ball.

I said earlier it was one of the best away performances in 45 years of watching.

Some spoke against referring to key matches, but that misses the point.

Albion took their resources and outsmarted a top European team with a very intelligent brand of football.

Spurs weren't under par, they were outwitted.

It's also the reason why we need to enjoy Potter while he lasts. If he was given a strong squad he could do stuff. And regardless of league position, I expect the phone will be ringing next season.

Definitely. Surprised there was no indication of a VAR review.

Never mind, Dermot will be along on Ref Watch to explain to us why the referee was right.......................

Not until he can get the team to perform like that at home matches

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Surprised it didn't warrant more comment in the post-match analysis.

At the time, I didn't pay it any attention.
These things are so often exaggerated, but seeing it back on MOTD, wow!

 

[lawros left foot]

Wrighty? It was Dion Dublin !

Yes I know.

I meant that Chris Hughton and Ian Wright ( who I rate highly as well) would be the dream team on MOTD, and could we just have those two together all the time.

 

[gripper stebson]

Felt a bit sad hearing Chris refer to us as 'they'.

Hughton classy as always, lots of positive about us.

Absolutely, wonder what Gus would have said

 

[hart's shirt]

Anyone else watching MOTD again this morning?

 

[Icy Gull]

Absolutely, wonder what Gus would have said

Potter needs to be at a bigger club, almost certainly

 

[Return of the Rev]

Couldn't help thinking Houghton is sounding very much like

That it was.
But I did say to Jnr, Cucu was doing everything he possibly could to get elbowed in the face, so he was.
