Should have stuck with the players that produced the miracles at Man City and Ajax. Seemed to be more about Kane than Tottenham IMO it was a mistake playing him. On the bench would have been more sensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 The problem with the game being pretty poor is that it's played almost a month after the end of the domestic season, it's far too long to wait as any momentum for either side is lost.

vegas-voss Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 7 hours ago, Mr Elwood P said: Spurs didn’t leave anything on the pitch. Once in a lifetime opportunity for that club and they didn’t even put in a couple of hefty challenges to intimidate Liverpool. None of the big players showed up. Liverpool were poor but Van Dijk, Robertson and Allison were solid. They probably would have lost tonight without Van Dijk and Allison in particular. Kane, Eriksen, Son & Ali did very little, a late flourish aside. Interesting contrast with the Europa League Final where the first half was turgid but Hazard and Giroud stepped up second half against an anonymous and insipid Arsenal team. Totally felt more like an end of season affair with two teams with nothing to play for.I thought it would be dull as dishwater as soon as Spurs knocked Ajax out.It seemed particularly strange from Spurs though after the guts and determination it took for them to get there as they were totally out played by Ajax for the majority of the semi tie but hauled themselves through. Great to see another Scot with a CL medal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But while over there I met a Welsh guy who supports Cardiff, liverpool, Everton (when not playing liverpool) and Ajax, and he's genuinely pretty mental for them all.

Eriksson was off it, Dele Ali is a show pony and Harry Winks just fills a shirt. Throw in Kane but he’ll get the excuse of not being fully fit. Firstly, I must say and so has everyone else, at that level, it’s been a fine achievement from Spurs given they didn’t splash out because of the stadium. But to be critical, I think the trio of Kane, Eriksen and Alli turn up for 1 out of 2, maybe 3 crunch matches. They can be terrific together when on song but when you set the standard , you look for the next stage. If players continue to fail when it counts you need to look at that. Van Djik had Kane in his pocket. An England captain hardly showing any guts for the battle in a cup final is poor. He’s so weak at times for a big guy and you see him pull out when he thinks hes not winning the ball. Alli must be the most frustrating for Spurs fans. Inconsistent because he’s too lazy in style and wants to do wee flicks and moves that waste possession. When he decides to inject urgency in his game he can be a player but it’s not often enough.

I haven't made a comment about other games because they are irrelevant i thought everyone was talking about the final considering that game had just been played. Man City play excellent football. With their budget it really isn't surprising. At times Celtic play football that is a much higher level than the likes of St Mirren. I prefer watching the likes of Villa, Leeds and Forest in England purely because of their fans but even the football in the Championship is far more entertaining than watching the teams you have just mentioned. Unless of course you enjoy watching games where teams have about 70% possession. Each to their own but watching Van Dijk launch the ball 60 yards for Mane and Salah to run onto gets a bit tedious for a neutral to watch, as does watching Spurs painfully try and carve open a watertight defense.

Be interesting to do a poll to see how many of the multiple team supporters are playing away from home? I just don't think it's possible to truly support 2 teams at once. Supporting a team is more than just caring about them winning, it's a thing that sinks deep down inside you and changes your entire outlook on the subject of football. When Hearts lose a game, it genuinely upsets me. When Hearts score, it gives me goosebumps and a euphoric feeling, especially in those vitally important games. I can watch back games from years ago and remember what it felt like to be there, and it still feels like that in the moment. Hearts have the unique ability of being able to completely ruin my day, or make my entire weekend better, no other team comes close to being able to do that. I support Hearts, and only Hearts. I have other football teams that I like, but I cannot even remotely claim to be a supporter of them, I just like watching them play, like looking out for their results, and I have a wee smile to myself if I see they've won. I take an interest in Newcastle United, Lechia Gdansk and Eintracht Frankfurt. I've even been to games and really enjoyed myself, but it didn't even feel 1% as good as being at Tynecastle feels. I don't even think I support Scotland in the same way that I support Hearts, and that's even before the apathy years of recent times. It's just not the same, and I don't understand how people can have multiple "loves" in football without diluting the whole feeling that supporting a team is supposed to bring.

Taffin Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) I support Hearts and I follow Chelsea. Nothing Chelsea have ever done has given me a feeling remote to experiences I have with Hearts. I like Chelsea to win, I don't like it when they lose but my day continues on unaffected either way. That's not always the same with Hearts. I think a lot of people who profess to support two teams and care equally for them probably don't have that visceral draw to one of them and don't really know that feeling so think the are a supporter of both but in reality truly support neither and are just a follower of them both. There's loads of 'supporters' of clubs in England who make even the most part time Hearts fan look committed. They don't realise what being a true supporter intertwined with their club is really all about. Edited June 3, 2019 by Taffin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much what we done to Celtic in the Scottish Cup final, we knew we were the inferior side, so we played a way to level it up a bit, and it nearly worked. There's a few reasons why I think it was a non event as a game really, almost a month between the end of the season and the final is never a good thing, teams go rusty and cold, Liverpool getting the early penalty (stonewaller for me, what was his hand doing up there in the first place?) killed it a bit because Spurs had to watch what they were doing and couldn't afford to go 2 down, and Liverpool then didn't have to go on the hunt as they already had the lead, Liverpool had a lot more gears to go through if they needed them, but Spurs were so bad that they didn't need to use them, the defence and keeper were superb, and I genuinely can't think of one moment during the game where I was worried with one of the Spurs chances. They needed a goal and brought on Dier, it was at that point I knew it was won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
