How many years of parked buses do we have to endure before teams play more openly against us again? How bad does our decline have to be before we reach the point where teams just say “they’re shit, let’s take them on”? Because I can’t wait for it. Football is shit but it’s even shitter when every single fucking game is boring.
Was with you there until the end, at which point i spat my coffee out!My feelings are that sides have clicked that you do not press Ederson as lots of our goals were scored when teams pushed up trying this. This may be controversial but I also think Walker needs binning, Seems to think he is a winger/midfielder & never appears to be in position when the opposition attacks.
Now some people think /rodri was good today. All of our play slows down the second he receives the ball and it was laughable watching Kane run away from him. He was like funning in treacle uphill. No better than Fernando or Javi Garcia. Mahrez & Bernardo both appear to have gone backwards.
Also, just saying, is Dias any better than Stones or Otamendi?
i don't care what people say his decision making is appalling. Coming out and making it easy for the forward, going down like a snail and the ball creeping under him, getting caught of his line and chipped. He needs to buck up or ship out.If we had pace at defensive mid he wuldnt need to sweep up as much though so easy fix.
Your saying that Spurs goals were his fault!Glad its funny to you ..His goalkeeping or lack of it had Spurs players in stitches.
Would help if he did them earlier in the game, rather than when the boat has sailed!Yet again when Pep makes substitutions it has zero impact on the game.
I suggest you take a look at the table and think again we are beyond poor at the moment and no real improvement in sight. We are one or two bad results away from a crisis. We need 5 or 6 wins in a row to get back in the title race and that looks to be beyond us at present.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.
Oh I'm seeing it the same as you believe me. All 4 spurs attacks tonight were because we were pushed to far up the pitch, and a bit of carelessness/bad positioning, and we're done every time. My mum texted me blaming Ederson, but 4 times he was put one on one with a forward and no cover to help.personally I don’t feel you are looking at it correctly. This happens every week so you can guarantee that it’s not luck that teams score a lot of goals with so few shots against us. Our opponents conversion rates are so obscenely high for a reason. Our system is open to punishment.. even when we were all conquering this was the case. Problem is it’s now been identified that that the low block and absorb and pounce really works. It also nullifies our attack so we lose a vast percentage of goals and concede a vast percentage more. Playing this way means every team we face has a decent chance of getting a result provided they don’t concede early.
we are a bit.. err.. fucked here.
Well has our defence significantly improved since his arrivalWas with you there until the end, at which point i spat my coffee out!
He always blames the opposition tactics when we lose, fucking pathetic
Given that its his job to stop attempts on goal I'd say he did little more than you or I could have offered in defending the goal.Your saying that Spurs goals were his fault!
I agree Rodri is slow but his speed is not the problem. If you look at Spurs second goal our fastest player, Walker, found himself stranded in the Spurs half when they hit us on the break. It’s the way Pep plays. When we attack, everyone attacks leaving huge spaces for the opposition to hit us on the counter.Kev's form is a worry is something bothering him, yes lots of games & not 100% fit but is he behind the club with the Messi coming camp?
I don't know but we have lost a spark with Kev
No Silva & Fernandinio missing has to be a major impact
Are we seeing Pep trying to justify playing Rodri & Mahrez thank god Mendy isn't fit we could have the 3 fucking stooges
There was occasion tonight where Kane went back 50 yards to pick a ball up then turn & ran at the defence all you could see is Rodri miles fucking behind
I laughed at some fans on here trying to tell me Rodri is class, im sorry but he isnt
Gundagun although not HM by trade can play much better than Rodri & unless Dino isn't fit has to play there imo
Ps
Haaland on fire again
The worry today was that there was little response from the players to his new contract extension, not a good sign at allHe's correct in what he says but then every manager who's lost, unless they got totally outplayed, could say the same. His problem is it keeps on happening. We all have our theories as to why but he's paid to put it right. He can't keep on doing the same thing and hoping that somehow the same mistakes suddenly stop because we're into our second season of this now and they're not.
Now Pep has enough credit in the bank.....and a new contract.. ..to be given time to put it right but that patience and time isn't infinite. He has also been given almost every player he's asked for. They are his choices and he lives and dies by them and at the moment they aren't exactly helping him.
