Interesting comment from CH before the game stating 'we've shown we're not good enough to play that way' when asked whether we might play a bit more attacking. Not sure if he meant just against the top teams or not but interesting to hear him say that nonetheless

Dunk and Duffy immense, would have been livid if Eriksen got MoM...

I agree he is aggresive but so is Murray its just he does it in slow motion.

Silly pop - can both be a remarkable effort and an individual error, this is a free speech forum and if you don't want to read honest commentary on the game then there are plenty of other happy clappy threads on here that clearly advertise what they are about (and I was defending Ryan!)

I was so frustrated when he chose to shoot from so far out during our first proper attack all half when he had options either side of him. Amatuerish decision

I think what I am trying to say is is no use whatever upping our performance (and losing in any case) against a Champions League Team away having being utterly shit in the past three very winnable home games.

I heard him say something similar recently. He knows our (relatively very low budget) squad limitations, and chisels out our necessary points accordingly. IMO against all teams. Don’t expect all out attack against Newcastle, he’ll try to engineer a result.

You're completely right if we're all honest. Let's see if tonight's performance gives us the boost and kick on we need to take into Saturday. It'll be so disappointing if we put in another limp display. I feel more confident now that we won't though
... Whether we can remember how to score remains to be seen though!
Yes, which is why Andone was on a yellow and Murray takes 70 mins plus to get a yellow.
Are you following this? Sometimes I wonder whether your attention span precludes even a conversation let alone an argument
One thing I'm not is a happy clapper but after that monumental defending display I do find it hard to try to find a "mistake" to pin the blame on the goal.
The only comment I would make if I'd seen half the effort we've witnessed in the last 2 games, in the last three at home we would all be planning for next season in the PL.
Because Andone looked like being sent off pretty soon.

[MENTION=2719]Mouldy Boots[/MENTION] openly admits on NSC that he can’t stand Muzza, so would be hugely disappointed that he played at any stage tonight.
Was he that much further out than Eriksen?

Again I'm not trying "hard" to do anything but analyse how we lost the game, certainly no harder than you taking your frustrations rather randomly out on other posters

Hughton:
"There are some games where you think the other team are going to open you up and the longer the game went they were pushing bodies forward but I thought we were going to get a point."
"We had opportunities to manage the game better at the end and those are the details that are crucial against a team of the quality of Tottenham."
"That pressure is something we've put on ourselves. We've got three games and we have to make sure we get enough points to secure our status in this division. The pressure comes with the territory and we'll have to deal with it."
"We've found it difficult in the opposition half and the final third. What we have done is got back to ourselves in terms of resilience. We've never been big goalscorers but in whichever way we can we need to get it somehow and we have an opportunity at home against Newcastle on Saturday."

So he does. Any more of his illogical tedious nonsense and I'll have to put him on ignore. Sussex nobhead will be next. Anyone who is unable to have watched tonight's match and not understand what has happened (and why it is encouraging) needs to enroll for an evening class. I would be hapy to write the syllabus.
