Spurs (A) | Post-Match Thread

You really haven't got a clue fella.

A pair of eyes is all one needs.

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

The champions always start at home with a nice easy winnable game*

* except us

One team had pretty much a full pre-season, the the other clearly didn't and it showed.

Also, don't underestimate the influence Taylor had on the outcome of that game with his point blank refusal to book Spurs defenders for numerous challenges for which you can bet your bottom dollar any one of our defenders will be booked for anything approaching similar challenges next week.

Just as an aside, the Match thread was its usual bear pit, and there were some bang out of order comments on there (as usual). Mendy had a poor game by anyone's standard, but some of the stuff aimed at him was pretty bad.

I hope the flappers flap to death. In the real world we’ll be watching us win the league - when we have formed and bonded and got into our groove.
Come on the fucking blues.

This all day long,,,roll on the Norwich game

First game of the season, a lot of our regulars not quite fit yet and a few possibly leaving and coming in before the end of the month

add to that playing Spurs away, at a ground we never do well at, with a new manager, and the first proper game with fans back. It was always going to be difficult.

Next week against Norwich will be hopefully different and the international break coming up might do us a favour getting players more match fit

Ederson couldn't catch Covid maskless on a Bombay commuter train

Hmm, a bit forced that one. (And it’s not been called Bombay since 1995 ;-)

Grealish had a great game and worked hard.

that was all of the positives that I spotted.

Yes agreed, the only player who can hold his head up high in that dressing room.
He did lack the final quality in his shooting though as did everyone else

Mendy plus 120million for Kane ?

Mendy plus 120M or 100M cash-only.

For long parts of last season we were strong at the back which gave us a base to work from.
Today we had Ake / Mendy partnership which is repeatedly a disaster, Cancelo who looked shot come the 2nd half.
Add to that Ederson looked like he was still on holiday.
in front of them we had Fern who was continually exposed.
best we get this one out of our system and fast !

Name a club who'd want him...yeah exactly. He is our worst ever signing hands down.

You've only been watching us for the last 5 years then?
