Spurs (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

I believe the Premier League legal battles are making the things worse, OK we have had some bad luck with injuries to key players, but the up and coming players must be wondering if they will be playing in the Championship or worse next season. We have no friends outside the club, so the fans need to step up and make the players proud to play for us
 
Josko also had a couple. Haaland one of just a few with any credit whatsoever yesterday. Thwarted by a good keeper on a few occasions.
The original.post wasn't a knock at haaland more the irony of someone who has had a poor day showing frustration at another player having a poor day.

Anyhoo a scuffed shot that's saved by a simple extension of a leg
A save by a ball hit pretty much right at you following a poor touch and
The ball hitting the top of the bar is not good goalkeeping just bad finishing.

It happens.
 
Yes and we have not a one who can do that. Disgraceful, need to recruit from the championship or somewhere similar where players are used to tackling, harassing, pressing and running. Feck I'm describing the current PL leaders here....!!

I'm not sure we don't have anyone that can do that.

I was just referring to Doku. He's not going to be the difference make and would be unfair on him for anyone to think so.

I think the save with his leg from the shot following Savio’s cross was a great save. And then the one late on after great play by KDB was a great save too.
I was a striker so I’ll always say that ;-)
 
I know. And Porro too.
The list of current young players playing well, in the prem, in the first team --- we have to take a look at that. Ffs we are not spending because of FP and the rightful scrutiny - so what do we do...ship out any talent we have developed in the last ten years - makes no sense at all. I'd rather lose 4 :0 with a load of hungry lads just up from the academy then players well past it. I also think pep's comments - ill sign for 2 years then next breathe 'get rid of me if we lose' I mean that's questionable talk isn't it - get rid of me but with a huge 'additional' fat wallet of cash to play golf in the states with - sort of needs some scrutiny at least. but...that's not allowed to be even analysed!

TBF Haaland was good yesterday - the effort was rare and there to see,, shot on the turn hitting the bar = is unlucky NOT bad finitising - an inch lower everyone would be screaming what a goal. When you have played you know that these are tiny margins. What i don't get is the lack of squad planning - panic getting Gundo back etc - losing half of the young lads we've spent 10 years developing! I also think Haaland was kind of forced on Pep - don't get me wrong Haaland 1 v1 running on goal Salah like - not much between them (2 of best in the world) BUT...we don't play with that quick through ball so pretty pointless... I think it was the £50m clause - potential to claw around £80m profit to help FP coffers - led to Pep having to shoe horn him on...that's not a team really - and I think Pep knows it. I think he's done his extra 2 years with a constant sack me plea! waiting for a huge payment end of season when we finish 7 th or 8 th...sad but it could definitely happen
 
Good point. But would pep have stayed off we were looking like failing the 115. Maybe I read too much into his announcement. Pep at Halifax away would be something out of Ted Lasso!
I did wonder if one of the reasons he did renew was to show that he believed in is and so should they. But maybe that is too fanciful.
