Spurs (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

Could have scored 4 or 5 in the first half and been.out of sight. Frustrating as fook this result.
And defensively we're not as tight as last season.
Still very much in the mix mind and we have super kev too come back. Stay close enough until Jan and we'll have a chance still
 
Going to be a slog of a season this. The midfield needs some supplements in the window, just not good enough at the moment
 
How come we changed the back 4 system from what worked at the end of last season. I’m not blaming Walker but why was he dropped last year. Wasn’t it for the same thing that’s happening now. We was to venerable at the back right?
 
Fucking horror show there's no other words to describe it.

Wide open we look like conceeding everytime a team attacks us. Four against Chelsea and three today. I feared we might trip up today after watching us on Tuesday and sadly I was right. Rodri looks like the Rodri in his first season here since coming back from suspension. No, actually he looks worse. I'm not surprised as he's been played to death. Gvardiol has been a disaster and Akanji after a great season last year looks every inch like a fifteen million pound player. Dias form has plummeted. Our defence is championship standard and in midfield it's Rodri on his own.

Upfront it is baffling just how many easy chances we miss. We have the best striker in world football and he's missing nailed on sitters. Not just him either. Today in goal Eddie was like Bravo at his worst. A shitshow all round, particularly in the second half.

We've lost two big experienced quality players in Gundogan and Mahrez. Injuries have robbed us of two more in Stones and De Bruyne. It's too much, those losses take us from the best side in the league to top four contenders.

It's down to Pep to sort this out. No idea how but then I'm not Pep. We HAVE to get tighter at the back and in midfield. He can't equate for world class players missing sitters and sloppy play though. We have scored seven goals in two games and not won either. That's shameful.

To say I'm not looking forward to Villa away is an understatement.
 
Three draws and we got through by the skin of our teeth against a team that we'd dismantled in previous seasons. With each game the front four are gaining experience but they're also burning out and that will likely have consequences later in the season.

Don't normally like buying in the winter window, but I'm fed up looking at a bench of multiple goalkeepers, injured players that are never coming on, and two players that have zero future at the club. Get the last two out in the window and buy two experienced pros (left back and forward) who fancy an unexpected crack at a medal in the twilight of their careers.
 
Simply not good enough and although the ref was way out of his depth he wasnt to blame

Ridiculous to say but haaland had to be better. Hes very good at finding the space but hes not actually a good footballer. Kane or aguero would score more.

Akanji just not up to standard , alvarez not an 8, dias form dropped off a cliff, gvardiol fish out of water at left back.

I think whats bit us on the bum is our recruitment this summer. Just one of those summers.
Doku is ok and will get better, gvardiol has to improve a lot but nunez and kovatic are a puzzle.

Nowhere near the same hunger in this team, some players dropped not just one level but about 5.

Some players also still in Ibiza, transfer business was absolutely disgraceful in the summer as well. I can understand one of Kovacic or Nunes but both? No way.

Should have offered Gundogan the world and put the foot down with Mahrez.

Thats tge thing. A lot of top players must get drained after 4 years of Pep which is understandable
 
I am absolutely bouncing at the referee - he's clean through, man, and he player playing the pass was the one fouled!
 
Our poorest performance of the season , that Spuds team was threadbare , they had two shit full backs at centre back and we f*cking gifted another three goals whilst missing a hatful of chances ,i havent a clue what is going wrong , but i am sure Pep has and idea and will sort this out.
But it is painful watching us throw games and goals away when last season we were defensively the best team in europe and controlled big games with ease , now we are looking like a rabble against shit teams like Spuds & Chelsea even the Dippers are at best an average team.
Pep has a lot of work to do on the training pitch because at the moment we are a million miles away from last seasons assured and accomplished outfit.
 
Defence has gone to pot and we don’t take our chances. We haven’t been at the races for the last 8 or 9 games. The team is just complacent at the moment.
