Spurs (A) - Post-Match Thread

[GOULDYBOBS]

Without dwelling on it was it not a penalty when that spurs player injured himself? Having handballed the ball into his face ??

 

[hihosilva]

From our armchairs... huge difference that will make

You know what I mean!!

 

[paulchapo]

The worry today was that there was little response from the players to his new contract extension, not a good sign at all

The thing is when it was working everybody bought into it because they could see the results and success. Now we've been sussed a bit and it's not working doubts set in. He can scream and shout as much as he likes on the training ground but deep down they'll be thinking, " Yeah of course you're right mate, well it didn't work when Leicester hammered us or when.a poor Tottenham .beat us. Or when West Ham and Leeds held us." They will think like the fans are thinking you can bet on that, that we've been sussed and the tactics aren't working. Now he either wins them around quickly and things change, or it's a slippery slope from here.

Think people underestimate the impact of your mum dying when they chat shit about Pep looking disinterested. No shit he looks disinterested in his job. Because we aren’t cunts we’ll stick by him, and maybe if players like Sterling and Mahrez stopped playing like it’s a friendly kick about and started burying the 10 piss easy chances they have a game we might actually start winning. Never seen a team miss so many easy, yes easy, opportunities. He’s gone from having: Henry Messi Eto’o and Villa and then Robben Lewendowski Ribery - Pep’s always said his job is to get the players to the final third and then to let them shine but the caliber of our wingers in particular is piss poor and it doesn’t help that we have shit left back options who provide zero attacking threat.

Some of our fans are right cunts.

If 11 top premier league players decide to sit behind the ball you need a Silva KDB Sane Sterling and Aguero all firing to break them down
Peps way only works with BRILLIANT players
Let’s hope we can find some

How can Spurs fans be happy with their team parking the bus and having four shots. Spurs are an ultra wealthy club, but they play in the style of a Burnley with better players. We rarely played like that in the dark days.

Funnily enough I was thinking exactly the same myself earlier! Nobody would be expecting it and surely it would catch the opposition off-guard.
Park the bus and use Kev to transition the ball up to our pacey forwards; bit like what Spurs do with Kane and Son.
Seems every time we are hit on the break, we concede. Therefore, playing high up the putch is our problem. Unfortunately though, we never learn!

we wouldn’t even need to do that. Just playing the line 10 yards further back and force the play to the middle of the park like we did at Anfield 2 seasons ago would suffice. That is our problem. Force it into an even midfield battle and we win nine times out of ten imo. Just a tad more caution will ironically create more ‘clear cut’ attempts.

 

[roy.or.r]

Cannot believe how self entitled some fans are on here. Sure we aren't playing well at the moment but there are reasons for this, lack of pre season, injuries to key players, new players, loss of form and confidence.
There is too much knee jerk reaction when we lose a games, get rid of x,y and z; Pep must go etc.
I am not being a happy clapper as I can see things aren't perfect but let's not over react to one frustrating defeat after eight games into the season.

If people like you were made to manage our club, we would get relegated considering you are the absolute definition of a happy clapper and would just not bother with things that are wrong now with our team. Come to think of it, this is how the trumpers behave too.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Wow, first you say Hart would have done a better job & now you say you say Ederson is on a par with you & me.

 

[argyle]

Jesus has been the only positive for me in the last few games, I wouldn't even think about selling him. Jesus doesn't get the credit he deserves imo.

His workrate is second to none.

His finishing isn't.

Had the heading chance but hit it right at the keeper. Aguero scored goals in big moments in big games.

 

[hilts]

‘at the moment’ FFS. 18 months of this nonsense now with no apparent end in sight.
Eight games in, dropped points in five of them, scored 10 goals, a minus goal difference.
One of the worst title defences in history last season. Out of the FA Cup and Champions league in a precisely identical manner to tonight. And Leicester.
But yeah, this is all a knee jerk reaction

They say it after every bad performance there is a list but I can’t remember them all

[nellyonthewing]

I'm not up to much in goals but I know you should try and keep your knees close together.

 

[Bluemanc100]

You know what I mean!!

Of course I do but my point stands.. it will make zero difference if we’re not at the match..

Great. So we lose 2-1.

 

[Eoiyflem]

United, who we have been laughing at, are about to go above us. Brutal

If they win the league I’m pretty certain they won’t give a flying fuck tbh mate

 

[Stevieatlasblue]

A lot of drama queens on here tonight.

For the money we are allegedly going to spunk on a package for Messi in January.

We should be going for a long term solutions up front,like Haalland.and Martinez.

We should let him come for free in the summer.

Instead of giving Barcelona a huge bail out package for a player well past his sell by date.

Today’s farce highlights that it is the last thing that we need!

He’s just too old now and will not have the protection of foreign referees, whom blow every time a player throws himself to the ground. Here, he will be kicked out of the park every game and the speed will just leave him behind. Also, we already suffer disproportionately with injuries, particularly to older players. We don’t need another one on the medics table for half a season! We already have Aguero and it seems he will have to be kept if Messi is to come. Sadly i think Aguero is nearing his end and we desperately need to move on.

A better move would be the MLS, where he can end on a high. I just cannot see him fitting in in the PL.

 

[Blue and still suffering]

Take the blinkers off. You think the reaction is to one frustrating game?

Not at all! I know that we have been as good over last season and the start of this season as we were in 17/18 or 18/19 and I stated my reasons for that being so.
However if we are going to expect that we should win every game then go off at the deep end because we haven't then we are starting to act like those fans of a club formerly managed by your namesake

Another penalty unbelievable Geoff
