The commentators over here USA (NBC/Peacock) are raving about Teuchel's tactics changed the game. BS! While that may have been a good change, they scored 3 minutes into the half. What happened was that we lost a positive (energetic) mindset. That allowed Chelsea more room and a sloppy second...
I think this thread is too negative. We withstood pressure pretty well for a lot of the game and I think there's plenty to be hopeful about. Anyway, enough of the Women's team...
I respectfully disagree with all those who say the manager can't be responsible for what happens on the field. Sure, a player slips, the ref makes a poor decision, etc. But tactics AND motivation are absolutely down to the manager. Those are arguably the two main reasons behind success in...
I think we should take the opportunity to demonstrate our diversity
Vorm
Chadli Capoue Paulinho Lennon
Bentaleb Stambouli Townsend
Lamela Dembele Ericksen
In a few years when there is exposure of massive match fixing in the EPL you'll think back to this game and it will all make sense. What other explanation could there be for such a lifeless, depressed performance?
I joke of course. WBA aren't called the Real Madrid of the Midlands for nothing...
Yesterday, there was a post from greaves4fr expressing complete frustration with our chairman, which led him to decide to stop supporting Spurs. But can you ever stop supporting Spurs? I mean can you really stop? Not sneak a peak at the scores, or the table or wonder what your former buddies at...
is it just Levy that you're really pissed at, or is it the development of the soccer-industrial complex (I'm claiming that as an original unless someone tells me otherwise)? I started supporting Spurs years a few years before you so I am from the same era. I would go to WHL and watch eleven...
Seriously, naughton has two votes.....
Yes, but being sent off set the narrative...a gritty performance and we won playing with ten men for a lot of the game. It beats winning with eleven men. So, yeah, Naughton has to be considered for Man of the Match. Right??
Sandro was MOTM for me, although Lennon was very good. But Sandro consistently breaks down attacks and sets us in motion again making it possible for Lennon et al do their thing.
IOMLS: Great effort. Please collect a Masters Degree in football tactics. HOWEVER...
Perhaps its semantics but you suggest AVB should not adapt. Perhaps you meant not give up his fundamental philosophy but that is not the same as adaptation.
Adaptation is the key to success, in anything. You...
Probably Moutinho's agent.
I'm here in South carolina (have been since most of SC was born --1986), used to be a spurs ticket holder and was fortunate to see the great side of the early 60's -- I was very, very young then :)
Very thoughtful article and replies. You're right, as a professional psychologist I know that change is generally stressful but the really toxic element in change, and thus stress, is lack of control. So changes you have no control over are really tough, those you chose less so.
One issue that...
I agree. That performance was truly woeful. Does Hodgson think that our players are that bad that they can't be allowed to leave their defensive positions and run into space and support the farthest forward players? If your wingers are really auxiliary full backs how can you expect to...
