KenjiOgiwara Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Think the Bale story was that he had a 24 match streak of not winning with Tottenham. They might have drawn, but they never won. And lets be fair, his Tottenham side was a tad better than a newly promoted team.

That is correct, although he had plenty of winning games in the League, FA and Europa Cups to keep him occupied while he was waiting for his first pl win, not something that Jack benefited from much. He also had the odd win or two playing for his national side (likewise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 1 hour ago, briny_ear said: Not so. His second pl game for Spurs was a 3-3 draw with Fulham and he scored to put them 3-1 up after 61 minutes. His fourth pl game, if you recall... was a certain, ahem, 4-4 draw against a team called, er, Aston Villa, when Spurs came back from 1-4 to 4-4 in the last 20 minutes. You're right, it was 24 games without a win, not 24 losing games. My mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Hopefully if anything this unwanted stat gives him extra motivation to win on Saturday. Not that he needs it I’m sure. Edited August 12, 2019 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykeyb Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 One thing about when he had the ball taken off him, where was the shout? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Fantastic first half, I'm not sure what type of player we expect him to be without the ball in the second though. He worked hard, not sure what else you can ask of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought this on a few occasions, a few of our guys had their pocket picked and either there was a shout that wasn't loud enough or worse no shout at all, we are going to need to help each other out more, both making ourselves available and communicating better.

tinker Posted August 12, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2019 If he can maintain his first half performance through a complete game then he will be in the England squad by the end of the season. He was fantastic first half, for me the best player on the pitch he made Spurs wary of committing to much and made the Trez chance with some superb play and a few others that didn't quite work out. I think Grealish, Trez and McGinn are going to terrify a few teams once they get their fitness and get more familiar with the premier League . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
