gerblod Posted 20 December 2020 Share Posted 20 December 2020 44 minutes ago, HighPeakFox said: I far less blame Rodgers than the players just not asserting themselves. The players considered the better ones need to show it more often. I don't believe these two factors can be separated. Behind every successful team there's an individual whose will-to-win infuses the players' approach with the same commitment. It can be, rarely these days, an on-field leader like Roy Keane, but predominantly it's the manager. Klopp, Guardiola, Ferguson and Mourinho all share(d) a commitment to win which is prioritised over any other issue. If Spurs do win the title it will highlight the difference between Mourinho and Pochettino's differing approaches. I suspect Poch, Rodgers and the much-mourned Gerard Houllier lacked that overriding ruthlessness. Tielemans, in particular, has to develop a more intense approach to enhance his technical and perception qualities. Schmeichel cannot lead from goal and Vardy is very much an individualist. I think Maddison has to step up as a leader - foregoing the primadonna mentality which seems to engage him atm. Maybe Castagne has the potential, or Soyuncu. I feel Evans is an organiser more than a captain. I'd like to see more demands made of each other by the players and more aggression than displayed generally. Maybe we're too nice a team.

I thought it a blessing when he was sacked by Man U as I thought it might signal the end of him in English football. I really hope we win.

Crocyfox79 Posted 20 December 2020 Share Posted 20 December 2020 Drop mendy and Fuchs with castange and Justin at LB and RB play 5 in midfield with wilf as the holding midfielder with vardy and Perez up front we’ve put in some great performances against the bigger teams so far this season especially the 5-2 at Man City and the 4-1 vs Leeds can’t see why not we can’t win at Spurs just stop Kane and heung min son good luck lads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be a surprise and quite typical of us, given the results generally are so unpredictable this season, a 4-0 win or 4-0 defeat wouldn't raise an eyebrow....

Bryn Posted 20 December 2020 Share Posted 20 December 2020 Can't see us getting anything from this, I think they're set-up perfectly to counter our strengths and exploit our weaknesses. They look very strong, I think getting something from the game would be a real achievement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigga Posted 20 December 2020 Share Posted 20 December 2020 Looking forward to a fresher look with hopefully Castagne starting and Wilf back into DM.. 4 or 5 at the back, who knows ? That all said, I have a bad feeling for today.. We know Spurs will sit and wait for our attacks to break down before they counter at pace.. Let’s hope for once we find a way of getting through a stubborn defence.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry_LCFC Posted 20 December 2020 Share Posted 20 December 2020 Cant get excited about this at all. Got a horrible feeling it will be same shit, different day. Start defensive, concede goals, panic change to a half arsed attack. Rinse and repeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They acted as if they deserved it, almost as bad behaviour as 90s Man United fans. If it was just Pochettino doing it then fair enough but it seemed to be a whole culture of entitlement. There was literally no patting on the back from them. We got it off every other set of fans, as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gevans_97 Posted 20 December 2020 Share Posted 20 December 2020 something has got to change with the way we set up today or Spurs will rip us to shreds. Think 3 at the back leaves us too exposed. Maybe sit both Wilf and Youri deeper and allow Madders a bit of a free role? It’s going to be really tough. We can’t afford to commit too many men forward.

jimsmallman Posted 20 December 2020 Share Posted 20 December 2020 Hurray for tier 4 and no fans in the ground. I have an unreasonable dislike for Spurs (and a very reasonable dislike for Jose) and can see us doing something daft there today and winning. Because this season is mad.

Crazy Kop Corner Posted 20 December 2020 Share Posted 20 December 2020 There’s no reason with the right team and set up we can’t get something from today. Hopefully Vardy will lead from the front against these wanna bes and we can go full pelt at them. COYB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruFox Posted 20 December 2020 Share Posted 20 December 2020 I so so want to win us to win this one. It's a big ask but we all know the performances that the boys are capable of on their day. Unfortunately I think that the way Spurs are set up at the moment is exactly the kind of team we struggle to break down and they are the best at it in the league at this moment in time. I'm guessing it will be a low scoring game, with us creating a few chances (with us hopefully taking them) and Spurs trying to catch us out on the counter or at set pieces. Kane and Son are absolutely ruthless at the moment. I'm hoping Ndidi back in the midfield will make a big difference today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxhateram Posted 20 December 2020 Share Posted 20 December 2020 Hate to say it, because I despise him, but Harry Kane is the only striker in this league that I fear us playing against. I remember back in the 00s when we came back to the prem there were loads of strikers that gave me that feeling. Add Son to the mix and even I, with all my optimism, can't see us getting a result today. I hope I'm wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_horns Posted 20 December 2020 Share Posted 20 December 2020 (edited) I've taken Vardy (for Kane) out of my Fantasy team so he will probably get a hat trick with Kane and Son getting sent off knowing my recent luck with that!

He'll shoot, and score, from anywhere. The level of striker has gone down since the 00's for me. Back then coming up against Owen, Shearer, Henry, Yorke, Cole, Fowler etc who were all great goalscorers where as now/recent seasons there's only two strikers I fear and that's Kane and Aguero.

Spurs have done well but they do really rely on Son and Kane don't they - both got injured last season but got away with it as the lock down happened so they were back in time for them to get into Europe. If the same happened this time not sure they'd even be certain for top 4* let alone title contenders ....unless Bale came good. *Ok they would but mainly because everyone is so inconsistent.
