Spurs (A) - Post-Match Thread

Fuck all to do with Pep(or Mourinho) either of those goals we conceded, errors all over the pitch, all game long. Not good enough from the players, blaming it all on the manager after performances like those is the worst thing to do. It gives some of them the opportunity to pretend they did their bit, when they were all well under the standard.

I'm also starting to think we need to start playing Steffen when we play Spurs, he always seems to lose his head against them. Weird how similar most of their goals against him have been in the past few seasons. First goal was fair enough, no pressure on Dombele and Laporte got drawn into Kane too much. He probably right to come out because you'd back Son to score there, even if he had stayed on his line to save it. That second goal though, it was obvious the chance to pressure the player receiving the ball had passed but he came out anyway in a panic.

Spurs didn't play well at all for me, let Sky hype them up though.
 
an overhaul is absolutely needed

this team is a busted flush.......it is too imbalanced and lightweight - with zero drive and fight

Compare Kompany, Yaya, Zabba, Prime Aguero and Ferna to what we have now -- they simply dont compare

Rodri is a consistent problem and the other option is no better
No let back for 3 seasons
B.Silva going backwards
Mahrez should be sold immediately

Our inverted wingers are a huge negative and our high fullbacks are not causing the opposition any issues BUT causing us all sorts of problems

Lots of possession and create very very little of note.

This was coming last season and now its well and truly imbedded .........it was constantly talked about in the sumer transfer threads that we needed more -we got the centre half but Torres hasnt replaced a peak Sane and wont, our midfield is wide open with Ferna now too old to start and leaving either an option fo GUndogan or Rodri (both who are shit)....an ageing Aguero not replaced and Mahrez stinking out the place nearly everytime he steps on the field

We won finish top 4 this season -not even close Spurs, Liverpool, Chelsea ,Leicester all clearly better than us.

we are nearer to utd's level than we are to those 4
Play less fifa career mate. It’s not that easy, when we got aguero etc you can also say that other teams were a lot weaker. In the last 3-4+ yrs epl has exploded and even mid table teams are buying 40mill+ players. We looked a lot better back then because aside from United when fergie was there we didn’t have too much of a challenge imo
 
Thought we were very good first half but again drifted off after the break and when the second went in we effectively threw the towel in, there didn’t seem that actual belief of years gone by that we could get back in the game.

Once again, their keeper hasn’t been worked anywhere near enough, Spuds to their credit worked their arses off, were organised and defended really well blocking shots not allowing us to get any crosses in, etc.

It’s not good, there’s plenty for us to work on for sure, I certainly don’t think it’s as bad as many on here are making out, but we’re certainly some way from our threatening best.
