***OMT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC V fulham...Sat 29th (today FFS!) 8pm - BTW HAPPY BIRTHDAY FERNADEZ'S OLDEST KID***

[Lemonade Money]

they need a kick up the arse, its just lazy mistake after lazy mistake all over the pitch

This is the football you get when its played in front of moans and groans and boos. Spurs fans getting the football they deserve.

We haven't created a single situation that is anywhere near being considered a chance!

Post may have come across wrong, I don’t mind Bentancur. This wasn’t me saying “oh no, he’s going to bring Bentancur on for Bergvall” that’s just genuinely what I think Frank may do.

I’ve never seen such poor effort, you said it yourself, Muani was putting the most effort in out there. Two stupid goals confer and we’ve panicked ever since, awful passing, poor control and just headless chickens everywhere. As much as tactics are questionable (and they are) we also really need someone out there who can sort this team out on field.

We seem to panic and immediately forget any sort of cohesion, it’s just lots of ‘let’s run and sort of hope it falls for us’. We need someone one who can get their foot on the ball, calm it down and actually try and play us into a bit of form. As is, we just look like we could lose this by 4 or 5.

I 100% agree.

Who was Vicario shouting at?

Porro not going back on the line to cover his keeper was also pretty brick.

 

[Chrissivad]

We spend too much time passing the ball backwards. Slow, static and awful

 

[Baleforce]

hahaha vicario having a go at the defence after second

Get in the bin.

he fudged up when the ball got to him

but it should never have got that far

the long ball was only a problem because VDV was so out of position

 

[Bedfordspurs]

He would have been better also. I mentioned Iraola because he reminds me of Poch in some ways. This underdog football only works at Spurs if you win football matches.

He is so much like Poch
Could see that after 3 months when his team got it
Said it in here when they player us around new year and ran us ragged and we got lucky

 

[Benny_Lad]

I’m surprised Frank prioritises our root to goal as crosses when we’re so bad at them.

Half the time they hit the first man and half the time the players are hanging round deep of the back post where they can’t score from.

there was the Richi header straight at their keeper

 

[Mikey10]

So where was this comment last season? ....

They’ve been given a chance this season with an actual manager in charge. And they still can’t do it.

I’m not sure any manager could get this lot going. There really isn’t a lot of quality there.

 

[fernadez]

I saw a homeless guy on the way to the stadium ranting about how the badger faces the wrong direction on top of the new stadium and that's why we're cursed

 

[afsoc4life]

I was thinking this exactly. It’s reducing a team that we know is capable of playing football into one that only attacks with crosses. I remember when United lost a home game, ironically I think to Fulham, and they put the most crosses in ever for a PL game at the time.

I think it’s all well and good to be better at set pieces. But to strip away so much of what these players know they can do is just not going to inspire their confidence.

I fully believe that a reactive, pragmatic manager can succeed at a top club. Enough Italian coaches have made it work. Jose made it work. But I think a pure ‘we only score from crosses’ won’t work at a top club. The players won’t stand for it.

Exactly. Frank has to change if he wants to succeed at Spurs.

Easy to defend too

 

[Kandi1977]

Spurs, ruining weekends on regular basis. We can play until next week without creating a goal scoring opportunity.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

I’m not sure any manager could get this lot going. There really isn’t a lot of quality there.

It’s really not the quality issue
It’s the structure and style of set up that’s clearly not something these players get or want so far
Unless your gonna claim Fulham have better players too

 

[Jurgen the German]

This feels eerily similar to around 2002 when Arsenal were a dominate team and we were dreadful so I decided to get into NBA, NFL and baseball. Might be doing that again soon.

 

[Kandi1977]

there was the Richi header straight at their keeper

I don't count that, and it didn't register on the official stats either.

 

[MrScottSpur]

Spurs are killing me these days I’m so fudging grumpy

I dont think these players are that bad. We strengthened over the summer and these players are internationals for their national teams. I mean without additions we won the Europa last season!!
