Spurs (A) - Post-Match Thread

Up til new year only got rags and blue dippers away as hard games in the prem (with our current form I can tolerate disagreement). 1st Jan get Messi and possibly another striker who can give us another option, maybe an Edin style striker who can mix it in a crowded box. Still might not win but would be a lot better to watch.

But perhaps you and he might see there’s plenty of ground between those two extremes?

Our beautiful football is metamorphosing all too often into fruitless possession. Neither effective nor particularly aesthetic.

Every single PL manager - Noddy and all - seems to know how to beat us. Luckily, a number of them still don‘t possess the resources to convert that knowledge into points.

If every other manager knows how to beat us then why is our record over the last 3 years Champions, Champions, Runners up ?. This season is not normal, we had 7 days pre season after the CL in August. Yesterday was off the back of an international break. Lets see where we are in six or seven weeks time before panicking.
 
We need to drop the 4-1-2-3 formation this season or until we have a "david". The back 4 need to drop 10 yards as does the 2 cms. We need to decompress the opposition and give our players a chance to find space.
Rodri & kdb make a solid and varied cm base. Let foden play a free role ahead of them. Good luck picking him up when allowed to have a free role. Kev should get more time to pick his passes again and we shouldn't be getting picked off on the counter every match.
Obviously this is only guess work, but we have the players for 4-2-3-1. Gundo/rodri, kev/doyle & foden/bernado. It should also leave space for torres & sterling to run into.
When we are a goal or 2 ahead we can shift back into a possession based 4-1-2-3 but to start the match let's open up the pitch and trust our players to defend and attack. They are good enough.

You’ll never stop the flappers and the JCL’s from panicking. Don’t forget the latter lot didn’t sign up to this to see us lose away to the league leaders in a match we dominated

Stop being so sensible and offering a logical take on things!! That doesn’t tend to go down well in these parts!!

But don’t you think that is what the opponents want. If they don’t want to be deep they would press higher up the pitch so we don’t progress with the ball.

With it looking like we only have KDB capable of creating anything in the final third not sure I want him playing deeper back towards our own goal. Including Foden should ease the pressure on KDB to create everything mind.
 
Kyle walker is the liability he is prone to errors. Our main problem is defense, we need proper LB and RB able to go forward and defend with brain.

Of course there are signs that all is not well at the moment, there are also reasons why things are not well. The truth I’d imagine is somewhere in between all the drivel about how we’re going to struggle to finish in the top half, Pep doesn’t know what he’s doing, etc, etc, and those that are not acknowledging that we’re currently enduring a rough period for a number of reasons.
 
having read a good deal of the posts Im surprised no one has acknowledged that the eleven players from spuds negated us pretty well yesterday and id bet they could do that to almost every other prem team - adding foden or sterling would not have made much difference as it it is almost impossible to break that sort of defence down- we made two big errors and this is key- we do need to score more but the chances we have made have been squandered - we are making chances , add the fiasco that is VAR and once those chances start getting converted all the doubt will magically disappear - just like that- stick with this Pep knows far more than all of us put together and he will resolve this in his own way - yep we need a striker but good ones are thin on the ground - there are a couple and Im sure they are sorting it right now- it'll take a game or two when the goals flow and see what happens - nothing won in November as far as I know
 
My mindset every time we concede the first goal

Worst still Rags now above us after all the shit they have dished up this season.
Pathetic, I'm done with this season already.
 
You know what annoys me today, it is the fact they are bigging Spurs up for this excellent performance, a performance that saw them create 4 chances at home against a shite out of sorts City team that created 22 chances, 10 corners to 0 66% possession.

Seems that that was supposedly the performance of Champions.

Fuck off.

the first goal yesterday was a collective calamity caused by 3 of our 4 defenders

Kyle Walker being the odd one out

We have an exceptional forward in Jesus but the service into him is poor

Absolutely nailed it. Thought their approach was an embarrassment to the English game

that style has never won the PL and I fuckin hope it never will as it would be a terrible day for English football
