Spurs (A) Match Thread

[Stuntman_Mike]

I'd genuinely have been disappointed with that team line up last season.

[supernuk]

We need pace against their backline. So leaves mavididi and buonanotte on the bench. 

[adam95581]

That is so uninspiring. Could understand if we were trying to play on the break but there’s zero pace going forward.

Where is the pace to counter ? 

It's not lightening but we're relying on the creativity of Bilal and the directness of Bobby, Jordan and Vards. It's not like Buanotte and Mavididi have done much in recent weeks. 

[Muzzy_no7]

Appalling line-up.

 

Spurs should be knackered today and struggle but watch them dominate this game. 

[Gravel]

BDCR can pray all he wants, even god is laughing his tits off at that line up

[Dahnsouff]

Poor team because we have a poor squad. Not Ruud’s fault. Facundo does not deserve to start, but he is not alone in that I guess!!

[EnderbyFox]

Our front 3 on the counter 

 

 

[LCFCJohn]

Justin, Faes, Winks, BDR, Ayew 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

That is a total abomination. Fold the club.

[ronnup]

Unbelievable 

 

 

Muck.

[Mickyblueeyes]

It’s an embarrassing line up in the PL. Ben Dawson will be in charge tomorrow morning which isn’t a good thing. 
 

However, if a manager cannot get the best out of his better players, he isn’t a manager. 
 

If you are there, there is nothing to support on that pitch. Rudkin out. Sack the board. Etc. from the first minute to the last. 

[Jethrolcfc]

Same rubbish team again then

I get the team. Defensive forwards to protect the full backs. We will sit deep and play them on the counter. 

Erm…counter would work but who has the legs to do that?

[FrankieADZ]

Spurs 3-0 win incoming 

[Buggsteam]

WTF is that team? 
 

might as well just forfeit the game as this is going to be a thrashing. 

[Posthorn54]

He definitely wants out of this club. 

[Pliskin]

What the ****? 

[Tuna]

Premier league and our wingers are Ayew and Decordova Reid. Abysmal.

[Haywood_6]

Vardy, Ayew and Reid... Jesus Christ. That's an embarrassment for a PL side to be playing those three together in 2025

[foxile5]

New full back not good enough to improve the team then. 

 

If the answer to the question is BDCR and Ayew then I'm not really positive that the question is 'How do we get something from this match?'.

 

We're not overburdened with an embarrassment of riches but I think that there's a better starting line up to be had. 

 

Coady is a better bet than Vesty. I'd make a solid argument that Okoli should be preferred to Faes. Bouanotte - despite recent performances - should probably be starting.

 

Ditto Daka; Vardy has been run into the ground and we might find more value with him coming on against legs that are tired from chasing around Daka. Pace is his only attribute and he's not reliable enough to come on and impact a game, may as well use him to tire out a defense rather than hope he can salvage something.

[AKCJ]

I haven't got a problem with BDCR playing. At least he'll work hard. Unlike Mavididi.

 

My issue is that he thinks the back four deserve to keep their places. Again.

[Sunbury Fox]

Fully justified to keep the same back 4 after their excellent recent performances. 

[kingfox]

That forward line has less pace than my mum, and she has mobility issues.

Who have both been poor for weeks.
