Spurs (A) Post Match Thread

[Tracking back]

Still waiting for the media to say Liverpool have made it boring.

They started that headline with us when we went 11 points ahead, not heard nothing yet and the mickeys are 22 in front.

And still waiting for the media to say how do you stop Liverpool.

We got that headline nearly every other week in our centurions season yet the media just crow about how good Liverpool are.

Agenda driven shite from the media for all to see.

All very true.

I've been saying exactly the same.

My only solace is winning the premier league title without any real competition makes it a bit of a hollow victory.

The dippers might be winning their first premier league title but shit, talk about an anti climax.

Look on the bright side: "They'll never experience the Aguero! moment".

Good post mate but I'd take issue with the Pep wife stuff and Barcelona comparison Like many guys work has taken me away from my family for long periods and it hasn't affected my job performance. And we aren't Barcelona- different heritage different leadership ethos different ownership style...

I'm not getting upset about this. We're in a cycle and leaving something remarkable behind to start and renew something else through the summer.

Oh hello, not like you to pop up after a defeat.
Careful not to rumble yourself.

 

[Nellies left peg]

This is the issue, we've won 7 of the last 8 domestic trophies and that is unsustainable. Even if we had brought in players, it's then difficult to get those players integrated quickly, so isn't guaranteed to be successful, as that scum down the road have found out.

Agree100% that's why our boys need to be cut a bit of slack. We could only dream of the success we've had years ago

 

[john blue]

No need for the huge post mortem ...we take our chances we win the game.

I genuinely think we’re going to win the Champs League and this will all be forgotten

And my dicks a toadstool >!

 

[cookster]

it was just a question?

 

[Ban-jani]

Do you know what it is mate. It's the fuckin constant abuse you keep giving the players on the threads. Yes I'm aware you can say anything you like and folk can get fucked, I guess most posters think this set of players have a hell of a lot of brownie points stored and just dont like reading the bile and vitriol thrown their way.

It’s abuse if he reads it or if I’m doing it directly at him/them. Calling him useless or shit on a forum isn’t abuse and you seriously need to do a bit of reading if you think it is.

I too gave him the benefit of the doubt for around 2 months and now his brownie points are up - he needs to be taken out of the team and potentially sold if he continues like this.

He’s not good enough for our bench currently.

 

[blue is best]

Wasted chances beat us today, if we take them we’re winning that game.

 

[WestGorton]

Barring us having a complete collapse we are on the chumps league Every major club bar Littlewoods has taken a dip. Our defensive game is a mess. Souness has just called some of our football today breathtaking so we should still be getting a point even if we .is 200 open goals.

 

[SidJames]

This team isn't as good as Mancinis team.

Pep Success has come mostly from Mancini players.

Vinny,Aguero,David Silva,Fernandinho have been key to our success.

Now those players are getting old, we are fully dependent on Pep signings.

I think it is Pep ego getting in the way of common sense when it comes to Fernandinho in Midfield. Rodri is Pep signing.So Pep plays him in the role still best suited to Fenandinho,Why ?,because fernandinho is the better defensive Midfield player.Hence why Fenandinho has rightly been given an extra year contract extension.Fucking stupid wasting the best Midfielder in this Country as a centre half.Rodri should have been slowly integrated in to the side.I honestly believe Pep is just being stubborn.

The Sterling situation is Bizzare.The Lad has got to so bad over the last few weeks.Pep has destroyed his confidence.He should have been took from the firing line weeks ago.

Yet the same manager constantly rotates for rotating sake.We saw with Mahrez and Bernado,that even good form cpuld not save players from rotation.Yet Pep has run Sterling in to the ground.

Put him in that dressing room where Pep has just left and those players would have felt like there world just ended. He’d have been slagging them off left right and centre telling them all how fucking shit they were.

Instead what actually happened is pep told them all how brilliant they were and how they didn’t deserve that defeat. He would have told them they need to take those chances, but at the same time made them feel like a million dollars for the 99% of things they did right in that game today. He would have reunited them all and kept their fucking chins off the floor.

Not the dinosaur, Sam fucking Allardyce, boring British way of managing footballers.

We were excellent today and were on Wednesday and he would have told them exactly that. Not bail out at the first hurdle because the 1% we got wrong happened to be what hurt us.

That’s what good managers do.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

We battered them but couldn’t finish our chances.

I’m not too bothered as we can’t win the league or be as successful every year. We really do need to start playing foden though. It doesn’t make any sense why he isn’t playing now

 

[kevin horlocks wand]

yep that’s his job not keepy uppys

 

[daztrueblue91]

It’s a bizarre situation we currently find ourselves in because I can count on one hand the number of times we’ve been poor this season.

United at home, Liverpool away and maybe Norwich away are three matches where the opposition deserved the points against us, and the Norwich game was down to our piss poor defence on the day.

That said, it’s even more worrying that we are playing so well and still not winning games. 9 times out of 10 a team who has close to 30 shots and 65% possession and limits the opposition to just 3 shots will win the game. Yet there has been at least 5 occasions where that has happened to us this season and we haven’t won.

There is a soft underbelly to the side which almost gives up now. The past 2 seasons we were clinical and would often score in the first 15 mins and last 15 mins of games, that doesn’t seem to happen now and we’re at Bravo first season levels of conceding from every chance we face.

 

[Bozzie]

I feel sorry for Pep. The way he set the team up allowed us to dominate against Spurs away - not his fault that the entire team seem unable to finish at the moment. Thought Zinc was doing well before the red - what was his first yellow for?
Also thought Ndombele looked good in his cameo appearance - he was driving forward and played some good passes - think he might have been a better on than Rhodri - certainly more dynamic.

First yellow was for running half the length of the pitch to get involved in the brawl that ensued after the penalty miss when Sterling went to ground.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Anyone worried Villa could turn us over in the final if we cant score all these chances were creating?

 

[Proy]

So you’re now going back on your “whole board” claim. Good.

Your idea that handling a loss means that you can’t criticise anyone or anything and you just pretend to yourself that continually playing someone who has lost all ability will be fine is sad, it’s what a 10 year old with an overactive imagination would do.

“Stinking the place out” is a very common term in football, used by fans, for someone who’s comfortably been the worst player for a period of time.

The soft bastard is you, for being so upset with people criticising players on an Internet forum.

Sick to the fucking teeth of your nonsensical,bullshitting slagging off of our club and our players.

Every fucker can see it and I dont back track on absolutely nothing I have said. I stand by every single word, you rag twat.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

I'd like to see our keeper make more than one save per game...

It’s all well and good everyone ooing and aghing when Ederson pings a 70 yard pass or threads a ball through the eye of a needle to pick out a midfielder but his first job is to stop the ball going in the net. Having one GK unable to save anything could be called careless but having two is a dereliction of duty. If you’re Ederson, Fernandinho, Sterling, Rodri, Mahrez(albeit recently) or KDB, it seems you’re undroppable. In Eddies case, he’s only got Bravo behind him, so he doesn’t have any incentive to do any better, which can’t be good.
Bernie has a couple of off games then comes back playing as well as ever so he’s dropped. Garcia looks like a proper defender, plays and helps keep a clean sheet and he disappears quicker than Giggs when his brother gets home early. Stones makes a mistake or two and boom, he’s gone. If Southgate was treating him like that, there’d be a petition on here!

No - will beat them by 4 clear goals.
