Spurs Matchday [EFL Cup] Thread

Games wide open, chances at both ends that should have been taken.

A couple of great saves from Ruddy to keep us in the game.

Where do they get these short corner routines from, a bloody lucky dip joke box!

Crap, that's it for me, can't do extra time as I have a Doctors appointment. Thought we deserved to win over the 90 mins. Lively game, entertaining to watch but you can see why both teams are struggling this season. Serious lack of technical ability showing all over the field.

Good luck anyway, as I said we deserve it.

Watching my first live game since March 2020, it was surprising how fast the play from both sides was. Television does not give you that feel. Despite the final result it was an exciting match, with both sides having chances to score. People say that luck evens itself out over the season, it better do, because we seem to be short of it at the moment.

To loose the young Columbian after only five minutes was a blow, lets hope the medical team can sort his hamstrings out. Then to lose Ait Nouri with what looked like concussion as well was testament to some of the rough treatment dished out buy Spurs. Podence appeared to be singled out for some tough challenges and at least two shouts for penalties fell on deaf ears by the referee.

After going 2-0 down it looked as if it could be a cricket score but to the credit of the Wolves players, they fought back with two excellent goals against a near full strength Tottenham side. It was good to see Willy Boly back to his best and along with Donk they must be starters at Southampton. Neves had an off day, but I understand he has been excellent this season so far. Ait Nouri and Hover did well on the flanks and did not look out of place. Gradually we are increasing the size and quality of the squad, and they may all be needed if the injuries keep occurring. Traore coming on for Silva at half time prompted a response and must have given the Spurs defense nightmares as he jinked his way down the touchline.

Our crowd was quiet tonight after the visitors second goal which prompted the humorous chant from the visiting fans of, "Is this Emirates, is this the Emirates.". The Wolves fans gave it back in spades, with Harry Kane the target for most of the rhetoric.
