Match Threads Antwerp vs Spurs - Match Thread - Europa League - Game 2

[kaz Hirai]

Is Bale really thinking these games are preseason games?

Some desire is needed for goodness sake.

He's got that free pass till about December or so due to massive lack of footy , don't see him take Lucas or Erik's spot any time soon though , who'd have thought!

Aurier is playing really deep by his own standards. Seems odd to me.

Bale doesn't track back so he has to

 

[rebrab]

Personally I’m not going to blame the team selection. I would’ve picked the same team. But a lot of players who should be fighting to start on Sunday haven’t turned up

 

[DEFchenkOE]

Starting with Winks, Aurier and Sanchez is always a bad idea. Selection suicide from Jose.

A lot of people wanted Aurier starting over Doherty.

Sanchez has been ok so far, could have done a bit more to try cut out the pass for their goal but he didn't give it away in the first place.

Hojberg can't play every game so it made sense to start Winks today.

Not suicide at all.

That team is good enough to win these types of games.

 

[ackie]

4 sub...
Lucas, Son, Lamela and PEH

 

[OPModric]

Mourinho class

 

[shelfmonkey]

I thought Bale had this "winning mentality"

I'll give him a pass for the time being, he needs time to get used to playing alongside inferior players again ?

 

[Marty]

Lo Celso, Bergwijn, Dele and Aurier off.

 

[Laboog]

Lo Celso, Bale and Bergwijn are still catching up on fitness. Bergwijn had that small knock so who knows how that is impacting his pace but he's still not good enough today. The rest of the squad, especially Dele, need to step up and take control if they want to make any case at PL action.

 

[tiger666]

5-1 Spurs

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Wtf 4 changes

 

[delawarespur]

We need to sell Dele what a useless player he is. Also looks like bergwijn is a flop

To preface, everyone’s been poor. Labeling bergwijn a flop when he’s had a poor run of form when he’s been here less than a year with a fucking pandemic in between. Son, sissoko, ndombele, even lo celso was poor for 6 months, modric, need I go on. I hate when someone’s deemed a flop so soon in their tenure. Give the kid a fucking chance. Imagine we sold son after his first season. Christ above.

This is what I love about Jose. He doesn't give a fuck about egos. You're shit and don't produce nothing in 45 minutes, you get pulled. How it should be, all about winning

 

[Phomesy]

Lol. MAKE A CHANGE MOU!

 

[rez9000]

Four subs! Bugger me!

 

[ackie]

No shit from JM

 

[Romulus]

WOW. that sends a message to the players. great stuff

 

[keenu]

Wow 4 changes

 

[spursfan77]

Great recovery by Sanchez. Fuck me

 

[glacierSpurs]

Well done Mourinho, 4 subs!

Winks should be gone instead of Lo Celso though.
