Spurs (A) Match Thread

[Hales]

Praet for kdh, kel on to help daka

[TeaMen Tom]

Just saw the replay of the Kane goal - not only did Castagne get beat, Richarlison right behind Kane had position on Wilf - total breakdown.

[Swarles Barkley]

Justin didn’t even know the corner was being taken for the second. Its basic defending 

[katieakita]

think Daka needs support, we need to go for it as we cant defend

Agree. Feel bad for KDH as we all know what he can do, loves the club and don’t want to harm his confidence. But he’s not played for a bit and we need quality 

Been poor last few games, second half will be interesting to see if Rodgers actually changes it before anything happens. 

[Sly]

Evans and Tielemans have been okay. 

[Shane]

KDH off for Iheanacho

Rodger’s must use all 5 subs and keep Spurs busy. Praet for KDH, Vardy for Daka, Perez for Barnes, Albrighton for Castagne 

Think we need to bring them on without taking anyone off to have a chance of getting something from the game

Castagne is one of our weakest links today. Made several mistakes in the first 45 minutes.

Faes looks really comfortable in possession which is a massive positive.

Harvey looks like a shadow of his former self. 

 

Apart for the two yard pass to JJ before the pen, has he done anything of note in a half where we had plenty of the ball in their half? 

 

[lgfualol]

Daka has been fine, Barnes may as well not be playing. 

[Dahnsouff]

The obvious move is Jannick and Dan for Wout and Jonny. 

 

Believe.

Yes but KDH off

I agree KDH has not been great but at least he is available for a pass and keeps the ball going forward. If we put Nacho on, there will be one less midfield player and it means the midfield needs to be a well oiled machine to move the ball forward from defence - this with Ndidi (we have seen this many times in the past) we will fail and you will then see we struggle to get out of our own half.

Daka has been infinitely better than Barnes. 

Barnes is one of the most frustrating players to watch, he doesn’t track back, he doesn’t make runs, always drifts inside when he doesn’t have the ball

[Sampson]

Didn’t realise they had Big Wes in the studio! Such a legend!  What we’d give to have prime Wes Morgan organising this defence right now!

[Lesterlad]

I know we have scored 2 but they look like scoring every time they get the ball. Justin, Tielemans, Madders have done ok 

[filthyfox]

So... so far we have no complaints against Ward.  Agreed?

 

The crossbar jobby was all his work btw- that was going in.

 

Ps...  NOT a fan

Thought that was encouraging. Shape much better than against Brighton, good intensity and aggressive in winning the ball back. Doesn't look like a team not playing for the manager. Not Ward's biggest fan but can't understand the flack he's getting for that half, thought his distribution was good and pulled off a worldie save.

He has been poor but his presence spreads their defence.

This isnt fair. When he goes fwd youri has to drop back.

We are so devoid of creativity... justin and timmy are essential

Same old same old, why can't they learn? A game we'd be running away with if we could defend a set piece. Criminal still not addressed, though maybe about to change with new coach.  But generally a good performance otherwise. 

 

 

[RowlattsFox]

Having Maddison, Kane, Dier and Kulekevski in my fantasy team is brill though. 

[steveb]

Weird, like watching football through another dimension, Spurs, brilliant usually are playing like we tied all of their boots together before the kickoff. 

We try so hard to lose its unreal, again the defence have no idea , but Spurs keep saving us

Pathetic penalty, why would anyone do this, so bad we should sign him.

Then our defence, sigh

they should have had 3 or 4 realistically.

Somehow we managed to give them our defense and midfield and in spite of trying to pass it 100 times backwards before shooting we scored again, brilliant goal from the little one

Even a save from the useless keeper who normally just thinks his job is to pick the ball out of the back of the net, to be fair he tried to give it back pointlessly dribbling in his own penalty area.

 

Even DALI would say its SURREAL, but great fun in a bizarre way

[fazzyfox]

I fear the scene is set for Son to come on eager to impress and he will be the headline maker. So far we deserve something from this though.
