Reaction to Yesterday.

Shambles! Rant, Review, Ratings & Twitter Reaction from BAE, Ade, Azza & Thudd








What a shambles. I don't usually Harry bash on here, and when he does
make mistakes I usually point out that with the benefit of hindsight,
we'd all be world class managers. But what sort of idiot plays a 442
formation, and then admits he could see we were getting overrun and that
there was too much space for Norwich? Yet despite us being obviously
screwed from the first minute, keeps it 442 until the 71st?

Too often he sets up the team wrong and leaves blatant substitutions too
late, and with only one win in our last eight he is adding fuel to the
fire of the anti-Harry brigade.

It's all very well managing a team when they're
winning games, it's when your team is struggling that you really earn
your money as a manager. After being so far ahead in third place, to
throw away a top four finish would be professional suicide.

And on top of all that, I accidentally punched myself in the eye during
the celebration of our goal and it turned out that me getting a black
eye was all for nothing. Thanks Redknapp.

Anyway, let's attempt to dissect the shambles of last night.


Norwich's first came after a string of comedy defending moments. Kaboul
blocked a shot, Walker cleared poorly into the legs of King, the ball
bounced kindly for Pilkington and was slotted away. 0-1.

Our equaliser was harsh on Norwich to say the least. King tangled with
Holt in the box, strong penalty claims were waved away, Spurs broke away
with Livermore putting Defoe through with an excellent pass before
Defoe chipped the ball over the oncoming keeper. 1-1.

Adebayor replaced Saha at the break, but nothing changed, we were still
over run, Norwich still had too much space, and with the Spurs
midfielders nowhere to be seen and defenders unwilling to close down or
make a challenge, Martin lashed in the winning goal. 1-2.
