It's called working weekends lads.
But I'm glad me having my own opinion has gotten under your skin so much
With that in mind, obviously when you've had a chance to catch up with highlights/match report etc, what would your opinion be about today
Personally I think the team looked well drilled in the slightly adapted formation, with a lot of square pegs doi g well. Spurs definitely did flatter us, but whenever they did come forward our defence seemed solid. And bloody he'll did we look dangerous on the attack.
I've only seen the regular highlights from sky, the attacking intensity/quality seemed much better than in recent weeks/months, thinking/hoping that was due to us having Gordon/Isak/Barnes as the front 3. Too many times this season Isak especially has been too isolated, I think this is a consequence of having Miggy/Murphy who bring more defensive work rate than attacking quality.
Anderson has been great since he's come back, again he's brought more intensity to our game, Willock is seemingly still struggling and Longstaff for the most part has been a passenger this season. Miley who I think has a huge future isn't really an intensity player just yet either.
Can't really comment on the defence as highlights don't really shed much light on that.
My main criticism of Howe this season has been his reluctance/ability to adapt and to change things when it's not working, ive just felt there has probably been a bit of arrogance this season at times and too much favouritism. The only thing bugging me from today is, would we have seen the front 3 we had if we had a fully fit Trips/Livramento to play RB, would we have seen Murphy RW in that scenario. For me this is the area where I need answers from Howe. I'm more than happy for him to prove me wrong.
Also as a side note, absolutely buzzing for the lads and lasses with the haptic shirts today, absolute quality from the club and all involved, bigger than the 3 points for me. I've always felt a sadness for blind/deaf fans not getting to experience what we all take for granted, there is no buzz for me than that atmosphere change you get from passing from concourse to stands, still in awe every time I experience that, I hope the shirts really helped level things up for those at the game today.
