Was it that exceptional? Spurs mate of mine at the game saying it was wall to wall? |  | | |  |

It was the same game management we’ve employed since League one.
Someone goes down on 20 odd minutes into the half, meaning the players can get instructions from KMc.
Used to be Chappers, today, (yesterday), it seemed to be Omari |  |

Lets be honest, Spurs were giving away loads of stupid freekicks thankfully.
Were we milking it? No more than any other teams I didn't think. |  | | |

It's been Omari the last few games. Thought it was hilarious that the commentators were concerned for us that he may not be able to continue. I was lolling away shouting at the TV ... No, he does it every week!! 🤣 |  | | |

If they'd gone two up away at Arsenal or Man City they'd have been doing exactly what we did. I really don't think this is 'weaker team' tactic. | |

I still call it "The Chappers Tactical Injury". I whatsapped a mate to say Omari's gone down for The Chappers Tactical Injury! |  |

I hope it was intentional and i hope we use this game management techniques to break up the home side gaining any momentum (and getting their fans up)
It was a masterful away performance.
My only critique is we conceded so soon after half time. Luckily it hit Solanke”s hand | |

Unfortunately it’s the way the game is now, I wish we didn’t resort to gamesmanship but it’s endemic even in the PL. A lot of our games have been fine margins so it could get us over the line (as it did against Spurs).
We really got more streetwise in L1 - the home of the dark arts! I think it’s just more evident now since we aren’t dominating games as we largely did for the last 2 seasons. | | | |

Everton were really hitting the gamesmanship hard in the second half at Portman road a few weeks ago. Pickford especially. |  |

I wouldn’t call it time wasting, we weren’t taking ages to take goal kicks, throw ins etc and the ref added 8 minutes on. It was killing their momentum and slowing the game down. They were guilty of cheap fouls on Hutchinson several times too. Played right into our hands. | | | |

I mean it wasn’t up there with the Accrington player booting it over the stand under no pressure in L1. 2-1 defeat that day | | | |

Aro was enjoying himself doing his Pickford impression yesterday. Nice to see Aro starting to smile a it more, that save low down to his left early on was ace, and loved the way he was claiming every cross. |  |

A few teams do it with goalkeepers.
A Villa fan I know says Martínez has gone down for treatment around the half hour mark every game this season so far. |  | | |

We did have some tactical injuries, but I don't think we were particularly slow in taking things like goal kicks and throw ins, despite discontent from the Tottenham crowd.
As it is, tactical injuries don't really waste time because the time is added on at the end. [Post edited 11 Nov 2024 8:19]

This was mentioned in the 5 Live commentary of the Villa game this weekend. He does it because the keeper is the only player who doesn't have to leave the pitch after treatment. |  | | |

4 minutes were added on in the first half and 8 minutes were added on in the second half. Is 102 minutes not enough to try and beat us? |  |

We were very leisurely taking our throw-ins, swapping takers, a few injury time-outs, so I guessed 7' or 8' before the board went up, same as against Leicester really. Main difference I noticed was how we picked up thirty bookings for slowing the Leicester game down and zero this time around, classic PL consistency! | | | |

Part and parcel of the game these days. All teams do it, just remember that when we are on the wrong end of it. | | | |

Plus you lose the player for 30 seconds (or more it seems) each time too.
Not sure they would have even mentioned it had they won |  |

It was as good as you'll see any team do at PR this season. Lots of falling down, lots of throwing ourselves to the ground when we got a gentle touch from a Spurs player. Muric taking closer to 6 minutes than 6 seconds every time he had the ball.
My fav was right at the end, Spurs player hardly touches Clarke and he does a full swan dive that takes him about 3 feet from the ball. Eric Gates would be proud of that dive. |  | | |

I don't like that behaviour, but I dislike being naïve and losing way more. I think they should be booked for it, but there is a 1 in 10 chance that they are actually injured or recovering from a heavy challenge. | | | |

Maybe we conceded because it hit his hand. | | | |

Interesting how McKenna highlighted how supremely well-drilled Spurs' ballboys/girls are, so (when they need to) they can really up the tempo. If you'll pardon another Colchester allusion, it's so frustrating that when they are losing at home (not uncommmon) the ballboys are either nonchalant or plain dopey. (It has improved a bit of late.)
It's also much more obvious the higher up you sit, and someone who is actually at the game can see it much better than someone who only watched the game on tv, which is maybe what Deeney did. [Post edited 11 Nov 2024 13:13]

It was classic sh!thousery.
The thing is, if the powers that be insist on coming up with ways to make it easier for the big boys, the rich to get richer etc., then us smaller clubs have to find other ways to upset the applecart.
We can't even compete financially with the clubs we came up with, let alone the likes of Spurs in their £1bn stadium. | |
