OMT - Tottenham Hotspur - Woolwich tossers

wont happen. Who would replace him?

Yea took us so long just to get Nuno in. Who would want to join us now. Some young up and coming caretaker manager or someone really desperate to manage a club.
The board completely messed up this season

Ah the good old ‘anyone could do better’ stuff - I remember hearing all this when people wanted Mourinho out…..

At least Mourinho had a track record. What has Nuno got?

 

[JerusalemMan]

Even with the lack of time, is this acceptable?

No. It's very discouraging. But it's not enough to say he has to go

 

[seaside spur]

The way we were intimidated the first 20 was the biggest issue for me. Press us and we crumble. We need to be able to deal with a keen press and not fall apart even in an intimidating place. Shows our lack of strength and conviction.

To do what we did - try to attack but not hold onto the ball while leaving ourselves exposed for them to have a free run at us, that was naive in the extreme.

1. the attackers can't give up possession so easily with brick passes, plus no fouls to stop the break. 2. we have to foul to stop breaks a number of players could have 'intervened' on their breaks 3. the defense need to mark free runners better! Abyamang left free in the box while Dier is marking space etc

Ultimately we need some stability. We need to let the manager work it out.

This was very true and when your manager gives you instructions to hit aimless long balls to midgets at the top end of the pitch up against aerially strong defenders then you get what you deserve or at least the manager does , that's a sackable offence.

Short memories
Or higher expectations
Only thing odd today was the team that scored first won

 

[FolkestoneSpur]

On a positive note, Arteta aint getting sacked for fudging ages

 

[thfcsteff]

This.
We will win...the second-half.

 

[nelto]

The coverage on sky and the arsenal fans reaction you'd think this was a cup final.

Not having a go mate, but it is in a way, not like the Spam's Cup Final, but it's the NLD and we didn't fudging turn up until the second half. If it was the other way round we'd be ecstatic, albeit tinkled off because we didn't win 6-0, but I'd still be grinning like a Cheshire cat!

The first time I've seen the Death Star referred to as intimidating.

NLD is the only time the Library becomes somewhat intimidating

Yeah i get that we would be ecstatic, and we would be, but its only one game and three points.
If it was us we'd looking at forward to our next defeat

 

[Pirate55]

Nuno talking absolute sh1te in his interview. Absolute gobbledegook. He seemed to be implying he chose the wrong players to play the game plan he wanted. Absolute tosh from him.

 

[thfcsteff]

Yeah like i said not going to excuse it, was out of order and if any of @scaramanga @milo or @thfcsteff want to hand out a ban for it I'll understand.

@billyiddo @Danishfurniturelover

Looks to me like this is more than taken care of. IMO we move on...

Fair enough

 

[thfcsteff]

Well, I tried to say all this in the middle of the week and people had a go at me saying I was too negative. What do they say now?

I say I wish you'd been wrong and I hope you're proven wrong. I have little time personally for celebrating the prediction of negative outcomes (this is not specific to you mate, it is a general dislike of mine).

 

[thfcsteff]

PL refs are mostly incompetent. We get more decisions against us because we're weak and we make it easy for them.

Between the captain and the manager (and the crowd for that matter) we should be pressuring referees to lean our way.

I wholeheartedly agree with this.

 

[thfcsteff]

Dele is done for us, it’s hard to forget the player he was, but he has definitely lost it. Tanguy is a luxury we can’t afford.

I am a huge fan of Dele, but today he was awful. We were not helped by Tanguy having an awful game too. Add PEh not quite being on it and that his the first-half gone. It is now hard to justify Dele and Ndombele getting places ahead of Gil and Skipp. I think Dele has done well personally, but today he was simply not good enough.

 

[thfcsteff]

even the Tottenham Glee Club have been silenced today........that says a lot

Can I ask what this means? Be specific?

It his tactics which are unacceptable

Whatever it becomes , the players need to grow a set, and the manager too, who instructed them to hit long balls !

 

[DubaiSpur]

Sigh. I've said it before, but just write this month off, my friends. This isn't Nuno's level - judge him against mid-table sides where he's more up to speed.

Expecting more from this year is just putting yourself through more hurt for no good reason - you all care about the football club far, far more than the decision makers do.

Be well, and don't let Spurs make you miserable - there's lots of things going on in the world today that will do that for you.
