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

[hutchiniho]

Well. They were definitely better than us. Even with half the first team out there 2nd half.

I guess the first half set the tempo though.

Some starters clearly cemented themselves as squad fodder or bench warmers at best.

First XI now very obvious.

 

[hughy]

Not a meaningful shot all game, unbelievable.

 

[Springerding]

We were poor, they deserved it, they did what we didnt do, worked hard. Their coach never stopped shouting at them the whole game.

 

[Lifelong]

It’s games like this where the ‘winning mentality’ is missing...and that is where Jose has the most work to do still....in the scheme of things no big deal but it is still part of the bigger picture...one where there is still work to do..

 

[ajspurs]

So arrogant from us it’s unreal

Is that how it's seemed? I haven't been able to watch most of the match. Bloody annoying if so, almost like how we were when 3-0 up against West Ham. Needs to be the same application regardless of the opponent and regardless of the situation.

 

[CarrickSpurgus]

Sanchez is a horrendous defender

 

[MikeLondon]

All I could see was how important NDombele has become to us!

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

I so think this is up there as the worst performance... I can't remember the others.

Feel like I’ve heard this every time we lose for the last year or so

But yeah it weren’t great

 

[cabinfever]

Shocking performance set up by an appalling first half.....

 

[Nebby]

They are top of their league and we play Davies at CB alongside calamity Sanchez.

 

[Shadydan]

???

 

[TheChosenOne]

Not even upset after watching that Belgian bunglefest.
.
Shades of bad years from the past.
.
Probably do them 4-0 at home FWIW.

 

[Wizzy77]

We are simply horrible...wrong choices made throughout the match...

 

[lennon180]

Fair play to em at the end of the day. Still have to play them at home so just gotta take it. Having said that what a shocking fucking performance.

 

[Deleted member 27995]

Started off poorly in the first half with the starting 11 and it didn't get any better playing from behind. I'd be fuming if I were Jose, some of those players just aren't invested enough.

 

[Hazelton]

Players shouldn't get paid for that. Abysmal.

 

[worcestersauce]

It appears we underestimated them and then gave them a goal so maybe we got what we deserved.

 

[noiseboy55]

can't blame the manager for that. its mentality. big time Charlie's. Europe league performance of old. That's a BIG lesson. Hope Jose rips them.

 

[hatch]

Well my half time optimism didn’t pan out but I think Antwerp were good value.

 

[shelfmonkey]

They've blocked every fucking shot

That's because we weren't good enough to carve out clear chances.
