Spurs (A) | PL | Post-Match Thread

It's why I said at the start of the season that our success will be determined by our new recruits, Philips & Gomez in particular. They've contributed zero in positions where we need two world class operators.

Rodri needs a rest & to be challenged. We need TWO fucking left backs who're actually left backs. Now Cancelo's gone, we're left with 32 year old Kyle Walker as our ONLY senior full back! WTF! :-/

We've technical players on the wing, but aside from Foden (who's deceptively quick), we have no frightening pace.

Gundog has never had pace & Bernardo's pace is nothing to write home about. Bernardo's here in body only & KDB is 32 going on 42. That extra boost of energy & pace he was blessed with seems to be evaporating quicker than a puddle of piss during a heatwave.

The positives? I think everyone now realises we have a problem, & the first step toward solving an issue is realising you've got one in the first instance.

We're still second (just) & need to evolve now. The time for action is now. The last thing we want to do is limp along like this for another season or two & end up like Liverpool this season!

Have to agree. I don't understand this crap about there's always something wrong if we don't win, or if Haaland doesn't score. This was always going to be a tricky game in a tricky season. There have been radical changes and it's going to take Haaland time to adapt against the top clubs, but there's no doubt he has the talent and there's no doubt we have the manager to exploit that talent. But all this BS about City in crisis when we lose a match is insane. I think a lot of the top players are exhausted from non-stop football and I've been saying all season it will have an effect with the World Cup in the middle of it. It's normal but I could understand it if you moaners were Liverpool fans, look how much they've capitulated this season. It's not a situation that's unique to us.
 
Today has really annoyed me, not just because we lost, I can handle that. Just the way we lost. We were so lacklustre.
We had a good chance to put more pressure on Arsenal and we serve up that shite and it was.

Well, we haven't won at Spurs for 3 years at least now, and in the last 2 years, we've won the league, so, fingers crossed - hey?

Some people will say more of the same, they being scared of not being top dogs if Pep goes.

Change for change's sake is pointless. Change when it's needed is a different matter.

As I see it, Pep has been given too much power, and too much leeway to experiment. He reminds me more of the second coming of Malcolm Allison every week, bluffing through interviews, trying to justify his tactics/selections etc, while most people can see that it's starting to fall apart.

In a world sadly lacking in top coaches, Pochettino may well be the only answer.

There is only one answer that isn't Pep right now and that is Thomas Tuchel.

Evidently Pep is sending a message to the squad, but at the highest end it's failing to make an impact, hence the need for change.

I understand what Pep's trying to achieve, but the one crucial thing which has been sacrificed is the unpredictable jeopardy Sané & Sterling brought us.

If we couldn't skill our way past the opposition, we'd drop deep, draw them out, lob a ball in behind their defence, fore the starting gun & let Sterling & Sané loose on them.

Who do we have now who can provide breakaway, counter attacking pace like Sterling & Sané provided us? \0/
 
Fucking meltdown on here.

If you want to pick yourself up just get online and watch the highlights of the Calcutta Cup. Very, very good watch....

I still think it was just like you said ? pep just sent them out in the 2nd half and the players took the matter into their own hands, Now it could, he wants a 100% fresh squad for the Champions League but then why sell Cancelo,

if we are putting all our Eggs into the Champions League basket then OK you have to go out and win it, because if you don't, it's a no 2nd chance and the eggs end up all over your faces,

Yea I agree and as stupid as sounds I don’t even say it with malice, as when he does go the accolades should and will come.

For me he’s bored now and so are the players, I would love to see him get the champions league this year, but honestly with the form we’re in I wouldn’t be surprised if Leipzig did us over two legs.

If Pep continues with these less than ideal line ups and tactics there's no way on Earth we get past Leipzig.
