wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 After we scored there was only one team in it, they came out and tried to play a bit more and honestly I can see why top teams with some quality attacking players can't stand Mourinho as their manager. Kind of felt like they were just let off a leash. Certainly helps when you take a full back and holding midfielder off for two attacking midfielders. Their goal seemed to come from the only mixup at the back that we didn't save ourselves from, times when Fry would get pulled out wide and we were stretched. Ball comes into the box quickly and all they need is the player at the back post to head it in, you'd put money on any of Spurs players to finish it off. What a hard working performance though against some of the best attacking players in the country. We absolutely earned the point in that second half when they started playing. Chance to play at Spurs' new ground, maybe on Tele, class. UTB 2 Link to post Share on other sites

BoroJake 2,345 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I imagine there will be a huge number of our fans at the replay. Big ground so it will probably be a huge allocation Link to post Share on other sites

BoroAbroad 321 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Thought I saw a drop of sweat fly off .Fletchers head. So could have been ruled out if there was VAR.. Never mind. He will have it for the replay. I also think we should have had a penalty for hand ball. 1 minute ago, Brunners said: Link to post Share on other sites

Dynamo Kev 1,558 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 looked like a well timed run to me. he wasnt offside. in real time he made the run and their defenders just watched him and hoped he was off. great composure from fletch to. a year or so ago he'd have had a panic attack and took a wild swing at it. not now, took his time got he feet right and took his chance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
