We really need to improve the way we counterattack For all the big teams, it's still an area we are one of the poorest

FFS teams like man United are far better than us in the counter

After we survived the first few minutes in the beginning of the second half in the manner we did I began to be more confident.

Still not convinced we could win this but I was convinced of at least a point.

Cheers for that

Good for you, Geets.

Thought Calafiori and Zinny would be available. I was nervous going into the game not having these players there.

Overcoming the first 15 min where Spurs pressure us I became calmer. We had the better chances and clearer chances to score.

Then the second half began the same. They tried to pressure us but they had no clue how to unlock us.

Our defense was key again. Raya, Saliba and Gabriel stood out.

Jorginho and Partey needs to change the ratings.

Partey did well all in all. Jorghinho was sloppy, slow and not knowing what he was doing.

Jorgi was good 1st half but had a mare 2nd half

Have we ever won 3 in a row at WHL before?

Agree except for White, Partey and Timber.

I thought Timber had a fairly decent game considering the circumstances. Technically secure, didn't really let the Spurs winger run him ragged and generally did his job defensively. I'd give him a 7.

Partey was very, very poor IMO. He was getting caught on the ball, giving it away under minimal pressure, was making weak clearances and lost the ball in dangerous areas. He's lucky Spurs were so rubbish otherwise we'd have conceded a goal or two. He gets a 4.

White also didn't have a good game. Was getting ran ragged by Son in the first half, made too many loose passes and was also gifting possession away carelessly. Another 4.

Strange that we all disagree.
