*******TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR VS Saudi Sportswashing Machine OMT**********************

[ringo]

It is also time AVB abandoned the two DM (in AVB defined role, regardless of their ability to perform that role) at home policy and thought about some alternatives.

 

[chancer]

This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO weird.

Even crap teams create chances. Just by accident or fluke or run of the ball they get chances.

We're like this bizarre anti-chance creating machine. It's baffling.

 

[Amor]

It's alright guys calm down, we got plenty of goals in Europa League

 

[shaney]

One positive. At least even the blindly faithful people on here should be able to see for themselves how utterly crap we are. This is it my friends. This is the level of AVB's ability as our manager.

 

[Stenno]

Sandro for Dembele
Lamela for Sigurdsson

Soldado
Townsend - Eriksen - Lamela
Paulinho - Sandro​

Please.

seconded.

 

[Mumorn]

losing to a team that can beat chelsea at home, some going on like we're losing to crystal palace at home.

We'll score. and I'd take the draw, as I would have before the game.

 

[El Guepardo]

Almost too scared to enter this thread. We can do it in the second half but Townsend needs to come off and our players need to up the urgency.

 

[DeanoAustin]

Dreadful stuff. Siggy anonymous, Dembele atrocious and Paulinho weak. Townsend is getting crowded out. Get Lamela on for Townsend and Sandro for one of the two centre mids.

 

[Yiddo]

We are a machine. We are like a kids team who are being told what passes to make from the sidelines.

 

[Nigeyman]

if ever we need a 2nd half performance....

 

[Modric THFC]

We're playing with 7 defensive players at home.

A team fighting for top 4 shouldn't be alright with a point at home to ****ing Saudi Sportswashing Machine

 

[Baleforce]

holtby and sandro should always be on the pitch, if you have a pressing system you have to have players who press

 

[King of Norway]

Come on you spurs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Papercut]

I'm pro-AVB but I just don't get why he perseveres with Dembele and Paulinho??? Are there injuries???

Sandro and Dembele - works
Sandro and Paulinho - works

Capoue and Paulinho - works (doesn't it?)

I really do not get it...

The other thing is the left-side, where was the contingency plan???

Players do need to settle in but the central midfield partnership does not work - why keep doing it??

Agree about urgency, if Townsend comes off I won't expect us to score though. Looks the most likely to make something out of nothing.

 

[onlyme]

There was about 1,548 mistakes leading to the goal, including the risky pass to Paulinho. It was just collectively rubbish.

Starting with the f@cking linesman not seeing 3 Saudi Sportswashing Machine players offside and causing us needless pressure just prior.

 

[DHSF]

We are a machine. We are like a kids team who are being told what passes to make from the sidelines.

Exactly which is ****. Like I say - we have talented players - LET THEM ****ING PLAY.

Good grief.

 

[El Guepardo]

I'll be careful not to say this too loudly but...Holtby on, Dembele off. Holtby's distribution is better and he challenges for the ball. And Dembele is back to his useless self.
