Mark 0 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 After the game, Graeme Souness said: "The idea was to frustrate the crowd and we were doing that, but then we gave away a very, very poor goal at a very, very bad time and that changed the complexion of the game. "If we had kept it at 0-0 at half-time we felt we could have had a chance. "We had opportunities to clear the ball before the second goal, but we didn't and we got punished. "Individual mistakes have cost us. We conceded two goals through individuals not doing their jobs properly." From gg-chat Spurs forum. "The idea was to frustrate the crowd and we were doing that" To be fair, if that is his target, he is doing very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizza 105 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 (edited) "The idea was to frustrate tthe crowd" If he meant the away one then he got is spot on. We conceded two goals through individuals not doing their jobs properly." Yes Grahame. You. Edited December 31, 2005 by Bizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 "the idea was to frustrate the crowd." What the fuck type of tactics does this suggest??? It suggests the same sort of drivel we can all come out with and hear from the tv pundits who have no specialised knowledge of football. Keep it tight and frustrate the crowd; the rhetoric of football simpletons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInspiration 1 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Surely Alan Shearer with all his experience sometimes sits there asking himself what on earth this idiot's trying to do tacticswise, but he loves him too much it seems.

luckypierre 0 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Souness is Shearers mate and the manager who keeps picking him though he's been a spent force as a top class striker for 2 years now. I'd love him if I was Shearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love him if I was Shearer. 72605[/snapback] I disagree, Shearer gets picked because everyone else is even worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackies the Lad 0 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Reserve keeper Steve Harper, who is set to replace Given, admitted: "This place is cursed. Lee Clark and I were sitting there on the bench at White Hart Lane and we've both seen a lot at this club. "There's a curse on this club and, if anyone can lift it, then feel free. With the luck we've had, we're just getting other people back from injury and then we've lost Michael to a bad one." The only curse I can see is that of Souness.

Jackies the Lad 0 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Like most things you only make your own luck, and if you're daft enough to believe it's only bad luck, then that amount of negativity will ensure that's all you'll get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you about not using "bad luck" as an excuse, but I don't know what else you'd call losing our 2 best players in the same match....

Black&White 0 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Bad luck might go back further but plain simple shit football managemant started the day Souness and his band of idiots came to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 99 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I recall him saying that we (fans) need to get used to winning 1-0. Oh yeah? whens that then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 As for being 'cursed', we should have lost against Villa (Barrie missed penalty) Pompey away (Given masterclass) and yesterday (last kick of game) so to say we get bad luck all of the time is utter shite. We've had more than our fair share of jam this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 3 away wins - West Ham, West Brom and Blackburn strike me as games which we were fortunate to win, certainly be the margins we did win by. Obviously we've had bad luck with injuries but then again, who decimated the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 The best squad he'd ever worked with, don't forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
