Rochdale vs Tottenham Hotspur - Match Thread

SirNiNyHotspur · Feb 18, 2018

Not sure how we’re behind, pitch has done us no favors actually, ball constantly bobbling around, thought we played better than against Newport but give Rochdale credit they broke well their forward read the line well, plenty of premier league strikers go offside there. Still think we’ll win but that bobbly pitch has cost us a few chances.

KEEP CALM.

We will be fine.

Linekar seems a lot more upbeat than he did when we came back from 2 down against Juve doesn’t he?

I really cannot apprehend what pleasure he has from having a crack on us when we are down... I really cannot.

Lamela for Sissoko ASAP

Hes is playing as a 10

Not really - we are playing a 433 - with Winks and Sissoko ahead of Wanyama

Llorente and Sissoko are the weak spots in this side. Makes everyone else suffer.

St José Dominguez · Feb 18, 2018

Can't have a team of players lacking sharpness and match fitness and expect fluidity even against lower level opposition. Far too many players way off sharpness and two players just who can't even look good against league one opposition.
No problem giving players minutes to gain sharpness but have others around them. No idea why Lamela didn't start, I'd have given Dele a start too to make it clear how serious we're taking it.
Winks and Wanyama have been horrendous. I accept it from Llorente and Sissoko cos they're useless for us but so disappointed with them two, they look miles off starting again in first team right now. Lucas head and shoulders our best player.

We are losing it in midfield, suprising really.... Winks has been poor, Sissoko - Sissoko and Wanyama meh.

I have been impressed by Moura, good close control, good interplay can beat a man, could be a cracking signing. Son has been decent and lively but missing a bit of quality. Foyth looking good and Trippier has been good.

The rest not up to it.

Is there a strong wind or a slope on the pitch? Whenever we get near their area the ball runs away from us. Maybe it's just Son / Sissoko's touch or Llorente's lack of pace..

Great. Now we’ll have to bring on the big guns.

Should have started them, grabbed a couple of goals to kill the tie then subbed em off

Well, at least that should waken us up

Unfortunately they're not interested. The club aren't interested in the FA cup, the manager isn't and I feel the players aren't either. They don't look interested and I don't think they'd lose any sleep over losing this.

What a joke..wanyama and Winks both our backup CMs

Bin dippers are welcome to Wanyama on this performance

That pretty much shows why Wanyama and Winks arent in the first team. Wanyama made more errors in a half against fucking Rochdale than Dier has in the last 4 or 5 games against top opponents, yet I'm sure the people calling for him to be in will ignore them.

Sissoko's touch and technique doesn't look out of place here.

Toby very average.

Llorente's finishing is dreadful, but his general target man play has been good. It's too bad that Son has a touch of the Sissokos.

Lucas exciting.

We've been outnumbered in midfield and there's too many players out there who aren't match sharp.

Vincent30 · Feb 18, 2018

Forth, Tripps and Moura looking good..... everyone else flat footed, giving 70% and once again disrespecting the opposition.

So wound up by Sons performance, he is either electric or absolute shit. Had two great chances to shoot and plays crappy one twos. And Wanyama looks like he can't be bothered at all, flat footed, walking about, worst i have seen him play.

Rochdale have done well, but our intensity is so low 'again'.

Krule · Feb 18, 2018

Need the big guns on start of second half...cannot risk going 2 0...quick equaliser and then run them into the ground...no other alternative...get it done Poch !

spids · Feb 18, 2018

I will be really pissed off with Poch if he does not make a single change at HT!

Swalien · Feb 18, 2018

Not paying Rochdle enough respect I think the fans and players thought we were through to the next round without kicking a ball.

Wanyama is having a shocker, Winks was poor losing the ball for the goal plus Alderweireld playing everyone offside with no defence alongside him for their goal was weak.

Eh? Son has been shit.

I think he is not helped at all in front by the low-in-confidence Llorente

Tucker · Feb 18, 2018

It’s a false economy making so many changes. We are too disjointed. Sure rest Kane, I understand that, but making so many changes hurts us too much. We will end up with yet another replay and an even more congested fixture list b
