+++OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool+++

[Robbo]

Its amazing we havent requested a postponement of this andother games due to our horrendous amount of injuries.
I mean the Arse got a game postpined when they had 4 or 5 players out wirh covid ffs??

You should think that ridiculous decision would create some kind of precedent, but no.

 

[mudshark]

Beware the Ides of March.

...I mean, we might run into some bad luck or something.

 

[braineclipse]

Even more players missing, Tudor looking like he's going to he replaced after the game, 6 losses in a row. I'm a strong believer that anything can happen in a game of football, but not sure how we get any from this game.

Anyone have a hopeful take? Maybe the players can galvanise on their own knowing that it's up to those 11 players and no one else in this game?

13 fit players.
Here is a competitive team with two shapes that they might feel comfortable in.
If I'm in that dressing room, I'm saying 'we have suffered just about the worst anyone can endure yet we STILL have it in our hands and our control. Now is the time!'

Porro
Dragusin

Keep compact, reduce space between the lines, stay narrower and IF we want to use width we deploy an FB in the infamous 'wonky' (one stays home when the other goes), get Xavi close to the action behind a striker.
Play with intent.

Subs? I mean, Jesus...

Kinsky, Souza, Muani, Byfield, Olusessi, hopefully Gallagher, Luca-Pele-Maradona-Best...

Exactly @thfcsteff time for the players to grow a pair.
Only thing I would say again is he seems to insist on 3 at the back.

@Daisuk re: youth players. Some of them should've had 10 to 15 mins in games this season, instead we run players into the ground and ended up with a whole team missing.
I mean, what's the point in developing players if we're never gonna use them?
Virtually every other Prem team has given minutes to their academy players.

Yes he does unfortunately. If only for that I'd bin him off right now OR pray that the players literally f uck him off and ignore it (I cannot believe I am actually even suggesting rebelling against a manager, I must be mad and desperate)

Shame the club aren’t thinking like that

Apparently that game was postponed because they just had 12 fit outfield players available. Xaka was out with a red card, so they counted that too.

If Gallagher is out, we're down to 12 now, if I counted right. We will of course not be granted the special treatment that Arse do, but we should say Gallagher is out and publicly request a postponement, refering to the identical situation Arse found themselves in five years ago.

I’ve two hopes (no not those two).

Unlikely results happen in relegation fights. A game that’s written off turns into 1 point or 3 points unexpectedly. Every season it happens. This could be it (or it could be West Ham beating City).

The law of averages. I’ve never seen a club in such disarray. But we cannot be this bad forever. We cannot keep losing. It has to turn at some point.

Will just create a double gameweek we don't need elsewhere - would rather just take the 3-0 forfeit

I'd rather gamble on getting players back and go for a draw. Tomorrow could be disastrous for our goal difference and morale.

We keep inventing new ways to have bad luck or screw up. This time I’m betting Tel will be shat in the eye by a seagul as he’s about to score a tap-in two minutes into overtime, Pool counters and scores, it’s blatantly offside, but VAR has accidentally been hacked by Anonymous who’s showing porn on it, the entire stadium laughs and by the end we’re known as the team that got screwed over by porn. That association makes us lose a lot of religious fans and our income nosedives - we can’t keep a lot of players and have to sign players with names like Higgingbotham and Shaughnessy on free transfers. And so we just embrace it down there in League 1 and finally settles on a huge stadium naming right’s deal Pornhub Gloryhole presented by Lily Philips Stadium, Ron Jeremy as DoF and Viagra as our shirt sponsors. Vinkatesham and Lange still with us.

I think you need to take a break from the internet

So based on that perspective even a crushing normal defeat would be seen as a significant positive. Thanks.

No way were getting sponsored by Viagra if we can't stay up.
