Spurs (A) Post Match Thread

East Level 2 said:
65 in the league and 23 came in 4 games. Finishing was shite today and last Wednesday. First time we've failed to score in succesive games since 2016.

we do miss a lot of chances ,if we scored 5 or 10 % more of our chances we"d be unbeatable
 
Might actually be good for us.

The problem I saw tonight was Complacency and Sterling off form. Sterling has been a shadow of his former self since Anfield where they cracked him. He's not recovered since and he needs time out.

How often would we see that stat in another environment? Say Tottenham and Everton?

We are the common denominator and it is frankly inexplicable.

In both boxes the stats are truly remarkable.

I have no answer.

Hey you were having a row for the last hour with @blueinsa for being critical calling him a rag?

make your fucking mind up.

looks like he is going to get it. Can’t see that being less than a few weeks
 
If you wanted to use a game to encapsulate our season, surely this is it. I can't think of a box it didn't tick
1) Comprehensively outplay opponent 2) Squander bagful of golden opportunities 3) Miss penalty 4) Get screwed by VAR / Officials - Loris off line and fouls Sterling 5) Have player sent off 6) Concede to opponent's first shot on goal, within minutes of going down to 10 men 7) Goal scorer is obviously making his debut, hitting scorching volley 8) Concede goal to Son 9) Lose key player to injury 10) Have to endure Tyler rubbing salt in the wounds - when Zinch get's sent off says something like 'the rest of the Premier League will be delighted as the biter is bitten'. (He was muted from about 74th minute) 11) Muse as to how ironic it is that we have lost again with Rodri & Gundog together in midfield
Quick reminder of the shot count, Spurs 3 (including injury time effort) City 17

Depends on how the criticism is structured as to wherever it’s fair or not.
Half the posters calling him out do so in such a shite manner that it deserves rebuttal.
The thought that we could still finish the season with a couple of trophies yet still have many being unhappy shows where we are at the moment.
The reason expectations are so high is down to Pep and what he’s achieved over the last couple of years.
I’m not ready to throw him under a bus just yet.
If that makes me a happy clapper ( an absolute shite phrase that people use by the way considering our recent success) then so be it.

I’m not throwing him under a bus.

I hope he extends, he’s our best ever manager and will be for a while at the very least.

I just don’t treat him like he’s Jesus (of Nazareth not Brazil) and I don’t think he’s perfect.

My main criticism is at the players’ lack of a pair of balls when finishing moves off.

Pep himself says his style only has shelf life of about 4 years.

That players suffer burn out.

Football success comes in Cycles.Over the last few years we have had success beyond our wildest dreams.We have had the pleasure of lifting the Premier League 3 times,Lots of domestic Cups.

Sadly our Cycle with this squad is coming to an end.The spine of our side has got old and is moving on.

Shit signings, and terrible planning by Tixi means Liverpool are likely to dominate for at least the next 3,4, years.

It wont be popular on here.But it is time for us to start again.We face an inevitable period of transition,where hopefully we can consistently consolidate a top 4 finish during the rebuild and become a serious force once again.

Pep only wanting to be around for an extra 12 months of a rebuilding Job that will likely take 2,3, seasons is not going to cut it with the Higher Ups.

I personally think Pep is done at our Club and will be gone the end of this season.He has done his 3,4 year Club cycle.He likely feel he has achieved all he can anyway.

Life goes on though.For me it will be thanks for the memories.Thanks for giving me 2 amazing seasons of unprecedented success.Never in my wildest dreams did i ever expect to see such success at my Club.

Nothing lasts forever.

Liverpool moment is now.

Tomorrow will be ours again.

The throwing under the bus was a general comment aimed at a few posters on here recently. Not necessarily you.
 
Great ground I have to say

Stupidly long walk - again - to the tube station

Marhez - wanker

Sterling - needs a spell on the bench

All I have to say
 
Very pissed off and frustrated. Same old story, missed chances, missed penalty and slack defending. This trying to score the perfect goal is doing my head, we need to start having a shot from outside of the area occasionally.

The League was gone a long time ago, all on the cups now and the players and Pep need to deliver.

Tottenham have taken five shots [both on and off target] against Manchester City this season. They have scored four goals.

Manchester City have had 45 shots against Tottenham this season, scoring two goals.

Shocking

Fair enough.

I doubt anyone wants him gone though.

We can’t win it every year and even if we’d have hit last seasons heights, we’d still be behind Liverpool.

I just hope he learns from it and we get back to some consistency.

I’m not sure what he can do shooting wise, that’s down to the players.
