I think people underestimate the importance of Home game and fans this season. You could see Spurs growing in confidence with the fans

Definitely. It also means anyone saying “let’s wait until November to really get going, it worked last season” is fooling themselves

Voted for a loss when i saw the dream team of Alty and Atwell, and Alty was his usual disgrace when officiating us but i can't even blame him for this shit show.
Rags, Dippers and Chavs hit the ground running, we looked unready.
Team selection was a joke and just like last year, we simply are pathetic in front of goal.
We have a keeper who does not make many saves and is often out of position, Ake/Mendy/Cancelo are simply no where near the required level, we offer absolute nothing in front of goal with Torres his usual invisible self, Sterling picking up where he left off and Mahrez hot/cold depending on how he feels and our midfield is simply too slow.
Grealish will be a great buy for us but we are more in need of a LB, World Class striker and DM.
If we do not address the striker situation we will finish 3rd at best this season. Now lost 5 of our last 7 competitive games

In other news Euros are over and you will see Sterling scoring again in few years time.

What the fuck was all that walking with ball by Mendy. He did my head in with it.

We got punished again for missing chances. Gonna be a long hard season this season I reckon. Teams have strengthened, and will be a lot harder to beat this season.

Norwich up next. Need to get the 3 points next week

If we lose to them I will really get worried.

Well for one at least all the million crosses we do might actually have a target

.we cannot get a cross pass the first defender .

Half you fuckers are embarrassing on here your starting to sound like rags and dippers maybe fuck off and support them. It's first game of the season with no pre season, players un fit embarrassing..

Result as predicted. We were always heading for a slow start.

Worse though, all our rivals came out of the traps like fkn greyhounds.

I could understand the first half disjointedness, but the second half was extremely disappointing from Pep and the players. Obviously we are missing a lot of first-choice players but that wasn't a particularly strong Spurs team.

Our transition out of the back was really poor without Stones and/or Laporte. Dias and Aké are comfortably our worst passers from central defence.

Fernandinho started OK but was caught and overrun in central midfield too often as the game went on. It didn't help that instead of Zinchenko tucking into midfield to support Dinho, we had Mendy doing...whatever it is that that was.

The left flank in general was a mess. That combination of Mendy, Sterling and Grealish didn't have much in the way of chemistry or understanding.

The biggest problem though was Torres. Jesus can have bad games in front of goal but he's aggressive and constantly in motion, he always creates space and forces mistakes even if things aren't coming off for him. Torres is far too easy to defend against and needs to start imposing himself on games. He has the talent, but he needs to start making it happen.

We are so so slow, I miss the centurion season with the counters.

it was the first game of the season, with most of our first team not starting. Time to improve yet
