Spurs (H) - Post-Match Thread

[Joekmcfc]

Why is John stones not getting a game? as much as I like Laporte, Dias and stones just work on so many more levels seems strange considering they were utterly dominant last season and maybe John stone's best season in a city shirt. I hope its not to be keeping Laporte happy after hearing he wanted to leave..

Rodri had a shocker, particularly in the first half. They play the same way everytime and profit. Kane drags a CB forwards, someone times a run in behind. Liverpool will look to do the same.

Either our whole defensive line steps up with Kane, our DM man marks him or the CBs drop as soon as Kane drops deep.

But in general we had plenty of chances and didn't take them and let's be honest, Kane showed us what we are missing!

But they've been a thorn in our side so let's move on. Third loss of the season, first in ages and still in our hands. No need to panic yet but a reminder for all the players that we need to keep our focus.

At 2-2 it is natural to go for the win but Walker had nothing on so it was a crossfield hoof or a back to the keeper job. Instead he just gives it away and then is nowhere near Kane for his winner.

Squad has been very good for the majority of the season so just like when we lost on the opening day, I will avoid panicking for now.

Lots of names on here you don't see when we win, probably explains why we haven't seen them for 4 months I guess.

Only criticism I have against Pep is stop bigging up teams and players before we play them, why do it it always backfires, that **** Kane is prime example

You honestly believe in your heart that is the reason we lost lmao.

Our defenders were shite today. Even the rags would have fancied their chances against us today. Play like that against Liverpool and we'll get battered.

Play like that against United and we will lose. Cannot defend like that against teams with quick players. I don’t think I’ve seen an easier goal scored all season than that first one. What was it? 5 passes from the keeper and in the net without us touching it or even getting close to touching it. Absolutely amateurish defending today all game.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Very surprised he took Sterling off instead of Foden.

It must have been a toss up...both were disappointing

 

[youngbob]

Entire back four were poor today. Time for Stones to get a run.

I agree with this but I think that’s just the human being he is a very genuine guy

if scouser win game in hand and beat us we are level right ?

Well, theres 6 weeks to go before that game so we'd both need to win all our games for that to happen. They might, we won't.

It's not unfathomable for us to be going onto that game needing a win to stay in the race. Not saying it will happen but based on recent performances (arsenal, tonight, Southampton, Brentford) I'm less than confident we will not drop more points over the next few weeks

 

[manimanc]

Fucking bring it on you Scouse cunts

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Everton away next week, anyone who fell into the trap of believing the media hype about us running away with it fell into the same trap as our team

 

[paulchapo]

if scouser win game in hand and beat us we are level right ?

Yes if we both keep winning before then. We are only two goals better off than them and I expect that to be overturned on Wednesday. I just hope Leeds do a Spurs on them but it's highly unlikely.

Right. We have a two goal advantage as things stand I think.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Play like that against the rags and we will probably lose

We usually do at home, hopefully today was a one off and Everton do the right thing and help keep us above their beloved neighbours next week

61 pages 45 mins after the whistle goes. When we win we barely get 61 pages overall.

Why is it always Spurs that work us out?
And why were we lumping high balls into the box persistently when they were just routinely clearing it?

Questions for another day where I’m not gutted.

 

[wolviedinho]

Why is it always fucking Spurs?

Kane was always gonna bite us on the arse. Spurs are a bogy team at present. Used to be Everton. Their style if correctly executed causes a possession based team problems. We have been playing under par for a while now in the league and Spurs took their chances.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

Defence was all over the place
Spurs only had about 6 attacks ffs
Scored 3 and had one disallowed

A performance to forget

spurs will go to Anfield and roll over and have their tummies tickled

 

[Zinchilla]

Our defenders were shite today. Even the rags would have fancied their chances against us today. Play like that against Liverpool and we'll get battered.

Not so sure Klopp will play 8 defensive players against us and play so deeply. We got sucked in and it left us exposed. Tough fixture to prepare for after a champions league game. Foden was weak. Spurs can’t play like that against anyone else.

 

[franksinatra]

Don’t mind losing but the guy was afforded so much space time for the goals. He can’t have been that good we had the ball for nearly 90% of time. He’s been anonymous for a season and can see folk on here, not saying you btw, just buying into the arse lick commentary by sky tonight

He was, but his passing was still incredible. Had the ball in the net three times and with literally no service got his side a result.
