Tottenham Hotspur v Everton. 7th April @ 14.05.

[Huyton Layne]

36% possession and 1 shot on target. Seems like we're lucky to be going in level

Let's be honest, Spurs passing is square for 10 minutes and shooting from 30 yds isn't exactly us being dominated.

I'm happy with Barkley getting a bit more time in the second half. He might turn it around

 

[paulbefc]

The midfield isn't at it. We're missing Fellaini and Pienaar big time. Usually Felli would chest it down and lay it off for Pienaar and we'd actually be able to keep the ball in their third. We're fortunate to be level, but there's still a lot left in this for us. A fresh Jelavic could be the man to nick that winner.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Alot of players have been below par today

Barkley
Victor
Osman
Baines
Coleman

We need at least 3 of those to step up in the second half, if not then spurs will win.

Missed Mirallas, he hasn't done a thing right.

 

[Jags..class]

Ross looked alright when on the right but done nothing on the left, so obviosuly thats where he's played most of the game.

Osman has been poor, with the amount of grass in front of him when Spurs attcks breaks down we'd be better off with Mirallas playing in the hole.

Stick Barkley right, Osman left and Miralls central, not much option on the bench really unless Vic goes right and Jelavic comes on.

I would play barkley center, with Mirallas on the left and osman on the right.

 

[Goat]

We are struggling for any kind of ball retention, Spurs are closing us down fast and restricting our movement.

Good performance by Spurs so far, but we will have a spell and then we will win.

Keep the faith.

 

[Groucho]

They've a few players out and we've been handed a chance. Need to make the most of this.

 

[faddy the blue]

Barkley stunk the joint out.

Anyway who keeps saying the lad is ready is the PL is talking out of their arse.

You can't be nailed on ready for the PL if all you do is month long loan spells in the championship. If there are no PL teams willing to take him on loan then Moyes should have played him for a few minutes or a halves throughout the season against lesser teams. Now he obviously won't be sensational under pressure against these top top teams.

 

[Azzurri]

Think Barkley's doing well myself.

 

[bluelife]

Jesus Leons been ****e
Barkley will improve in the second half, moyes will tell him to get a bit more confidence i reckon as he's showing determination an he'sin the right areas but he's not doing anything with the ball.
Jags has been class

 

[Tree13]

Walker has been better than him today.

It's got more to do with the fact that we aren't giving Baines the ball in the correct manner. Distin launching 60-yard passes to him in stride is not what Baines thrives upon. He's better when he starts the move off with the ball at his feet, passes forward and then overlaps. However, no-one in our midfield has chosen to actually run into space as of yet, so the first pass isn't on.

 

[tim cahill]

On the plus side, we've had our crap half and were still level. We've rarely played well for more than one half all season.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

So how have we been? Missed the first half. Glad to see Ross getting a start.

 

[snipellis11]

Been alright, we were best when we were 1-0 down and we were going at them, then we scored we have started to sit back. We should try getting at them more.

Aye, longer we keep them at arms length, the closer we are to a winner.
