Spurs (A) | PL | Post-Match Thread

Awful again.
Sad to see just what a slump we‘re in. In the past, we‘d have eaten up a game like that, as a chance to crank up the pressure on a title rival. But there was absolutely nothing there today. So disappointing.
May very well be a lack of hunger. But fuck me, Pep‘s making it difficult - stuck on a bad idea with the setup at the moment. It’s obvious enough that there is a systemic issue with how we‘re playing at the moment, but not much changes week for week.

First time I’m starting to doubt Pep’s management of our team unfortunately.

 

[Bozo]

We ain't winning the league, and I'll be surprised if we get close to winning FA Cup/CL. Something clearly toxic going on behind the scenes.

 

[the gambler]

Most people here are idiots or extremely emotional/reactionary. Spurs away has always been challenging for us, and today it was a close match and I would say we were better. Bar Rodri's mistake (our player of the season so far) we cobtrolled the game (we weren't that dangerous either).

Anyway, it's still a long way to go, and even with no PL, we are still in for 2 trophies

Much as I appreciate your positivity, we were entirely toothless again today. Something is clearly up. Nobody knows the system or the plan. Looks like a team in transition and without a clear direction either

 

[Blue back home]

I’m Nothing can explain that selection or formation. He’s managing his own exit like that eye jabbing cnut did. Meanwhile there’s 4 thousand blues been ripped off again down there. Players and manager should refund the travel costs.

 

[blueinsa]

The matchday thread and this is akin to a boxers corner throwing the fucking towel in after 10 seconds and one punch!

Get a fucking grip ffs.

No divine right to win every game or every PL. This manager and squad has broken records, left, right and centre and will do so again over the next few years as he rebuilds.

Meanwhile we are 2nd in the fucking PL and still in the FA cup and CL.

 

[Millennium]

Pep keeps repeating the same mistakes against Spurs and he think he can come out with different results!!! Not a single goal in the last five games in thier ground!!! Poor record. Does Pep learns or he is just stubborn? Loosing such a great opportunity to close the gap is really painful.

 

[Kippax77]

After being one of our main men this season i thought Rodri had a stinker today.
Gave the ball away so many times and just looked like he was running in treacle.

 

[blue61]

I am not surprised KDB was sub , he looked knackered when he came on. The team look all over the place this season.

Lacking energy and intensity throughout the team. We are never going to catch Arsenal. The more Pep gets frustrated the more he makes changes to formation.

We need to get back to overloading on the wings and get crosses into the box.

Go back to having someone close to Rodri as teams are going man to man on him, leaving him too much to do

 

[hendo]

Disappointing. How can there be 4 minutes left, a spurs player sent off and it takes 3 minutes to start the game again and then only 5 minutes added on for the whole game. There needs to be an in game minimum played. It's just nonsense the amount of time wasting.

So you think that shit has the problem of added time??? There was 90 mins

 

[PragueBlue]

And another game we've had 0 shots.on target

Not true. We had a few on target first half I think.

 

[kashmir]

Will someone in the team that we have a proven goal scorer and center forward,so please try to get him involved,otherwise we are only playing with 10 men

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Some classics from the usual happy clappers in the pre-match thread...they're now looking a tad silly....they know who they are
Well, that was utter pish from start to finish.
Losing again to that pile of crap for a 5th time, no goals scored and apart from the shot off the bar in the 1st half, never looked like scoring.
Silva should be nowhere near that side again this season, offered the sum total of feck all.
That is on Pep, a formation and team that was firing blanks from the off and never looked like turning it around sadly. Still, at least they are all smiling on the training pitch, that excuses everything.
There is something wrong with this team, fighting behind the scenes, poor performances on the pitch. Squad getting smaller and one or two look disinterested.
No way are we winning the PL or CL playing like that

 

[urban genie]

Both teams were awful and deserved nowt from the game, but again a error has cost us.

need to start utilising the forwards, not one central midfielder this year (bar Rodri) can be proud of their season

may as well give Phillips a chance as Kev, berny and gundo don't deserve one after the last few weeks

 

[SWPISHOME]

We've lost our way massively. We have zero threat from our full backs now and no goals from wide areas along with no settled back four.

We used to move the ball around side to side with purpose, Moving the ball making spaces for players, Now we move it just for the sake of it.

The list is endless. Pep needs to sort if and fast.

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

Obviously not at our best and I think it’s mainly down to the change of system. Too many big players haven’t adjusted well to it. I love Ake’s work ethic and the way he’s deservedly won a place in the team but when he’s possibly our player of the season aside from Haaland, there’s something wrong.

 

[DMA's]

Oh fuck off.

Haaland isn't the problem.

The problem is he's papering over the cracks.. without his goals we'd be fighting for relegation!

Not saying he is the only problem but I’m not convinced he has the technical ability required to play for a pep side. We would look so much better with Kane imo

 

[bluemoon32]

Because it will be obvious we need to clear the decks this summer , then agents will play cute and we will end up giving players away and then paying inflated fees for players we replace them with.
I hope we have a massive war chest ha

 

[BlueBanger]

pure shit from start to finish. Probably worst guardiola team in his time here, just lacking in quality to an extreme degree. So many players who drop stinkers every single week. You can tell me it's tactical all you want but at some point the buck stops at a goalkeeper who can't save a shot a target, a CDM that is beaten for pace by every single player in the league, and a winger who couldn't create a chance if their life depended on it. It stops at KDB unable to complete a pass, it stops at akanji not being able to win duals, it stops at bernardo slowing down the play to a snail's pace. it stops at haaland not doing anything to contribute to the game unless a chance is presented to him on a silver plate.

just a depressing bunch of players this season.

I was with you until you mentioned Haaland. He must be burning 5000 calories just making great, and yet subsequently ignored, runs.

 

[Keeper!]

Broken dressing room and if we were offered top 4 today I would rip their hands off.

Khaldoon needs to get into that club and see what is going on, for the first time in a decade we have serious issues to sort out.
