Spurs (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[simon23]

A few games have been like yesterday. We start brightly, miss chances, then give the ball away and opponents either score or nearly score. Would love Kulesevski in our side.

its not even about the missed chances....that happens.....we are so poor defensively however...wide open through the middle of our midfield with a free run at whoever is playing as the last couple of defenders....you can be the best in the world defensively one on one but having two or three players run at you free with Gundo, Lewis et alrunning back but looking like they are wearing concrete boots means you have zero chance.....Loads of people focusing on Walker (and rightly so) but the system now aint working - the problem is bigger than walkes lack of form/loss of pace...our midfield CANNOT defend

chelsea are playing like we used to play.

If we don’t win it I hope they go on to win it

Your right, be nice if they won the league if we don't over Liverpool or arsenal.

All the team have to defend and yesterday neither Foden (who was wank) and Savinho offered any sort of defensive cover at all. The midfield are too slow and too old and Walker is done at this level.

No , he’s good defensively on the wing he tracks back, he doesn’t lose the ball and wins fouls. We’ve got no other options on the bench for midfield energy wise so might as well try him there

Couldn't be any worse i suppose

See what they are like when they are in a same form we are currently in and Maresca is under the same amount of pressure Pep is under.

We constantly give the ball away as it is these days and from players that we don't normally expect the likes of Bernie in particular. The fact of the matter is that O'Reilly can do no worse than what we already have been doing.

I thought he had a cracking second half against Spurs away in the cup he showed real promise and he's a tough nut to knock off the ball, Bernie, Rico and Gundo has to be one of the lightest midfields we've seen in a long time.

Doesn’t trust him, when even if he has a poor game , so is our midfield now

 

[eyalluvitt]

Maybe try Grealish in the middle.

We would need Carsley as manager first

 

[kaz7]

Play some kids & play a tight system pep for the rest of the season

I don’t want to see any of these start any more games
Gundy
Rico
Stones
Walker
Bernie
Savi

I’d even drop Haaland & play extra midfielder right now.

We are getting worse every game

Wow, you have outdone your usual drivel

 

[Semper aggressus]

A succession of transfer windows where we’ve shit the bed or been too unambitious has bitten us on the arse now with so many injuries.

Now Pep has committed to two more years we need to back him to the hilt in January and again in summer or this will be our first season outside top 4 for years.

Nowhere near good enough.
