Besiktas Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[johnny69]

I've been backing Bobby to come good and stood behind him but it's wearing very thin he'll soon be off my Christmas card list

Well that second half didn't go well. At least I had fun with my drinking game.

Spoiler

 

[saintlyspur]

The only good thing to come out of that game was walker getting 75 minutes

 

[UncleBuck]

I bet the useless fuckers can't even find their way back to the dressing room. the driver should do us all a favour and drive the team bus into the nearest river.

Summed it up perfectly, post of the night.
Take a bow sir....

 

[Kendall]

Poch OUT.

 

[SpurSince57]

Cosmic summed it up... the pitch SUCKED! I'm not too fussed, but some heads have gotta roll this Jan, starting with Dembele.

It was the same for them, and they made more effective use of our pitch than we did.

 

[olliec]

Awful pitch and terrible delays. I am not too bothered as this was mainly our B team playing and tonight you can see why it's our B team. No Bentaleb, Mason, Eriksen, Vertonghen. Lloris, Kane. Dembele has to go, but on a plus note good to see Walker back who is seriously lacking match fitness.

I've said this in many many threads but who the fuck scouted this shower of shit and thought...."yeah he looks a player", I mean we were after benteke then settled on solado, couldn't find 2 more different strikers!!

 

[Ghost Hardware]

I actually saw no difference in the team today compared to the beginning of AVB's second season. Nothing, no better movement, no team mentality or understanding, fight or belief in a system, absolutely nothing. I know that Poch hasn't been here long but come on, there really should have been some change.... Not even looking for an improvement, just a change. Honestly, if I had seen AVB walking up and down that touch line I would not have given it a second thought.

 

[raymundo-iow]

We cant even defend to be able to play counter attacking football. We need some identity FAST

 

[TicketyBoo Hotspur]

That was a diabolical performance. Gutless and guileless.

 

[Romulus]

I bet the useless fuckers can't even find their way back to the dressing room. the driver should do us all a favour and drive the team bus into the nearest river.

hopefully Onomah could crack a window and get out

 

[prawnsandwich]

spurs this season are all fur coat and no knickers

If Soldado takes his chances we win against CP and tonight.
Pluses for tonight are Andros and Walker look fit. Walker will probably start v Swansea. Rose did well getting forward.
Negs are Stam who went backwards after a good start, Soldado and Capoue. And maybe a couple more...but we qualified so onwards and upwards.

 

[Robbiepope]

I got the answer!! Lets sack another manager!! It will work this time.

 

[riggi]

Poch OUT.

You know people voted you as future mod.

 

[SeanyMc]

just got in, so not a good game then?

 

[paulcumpstone]

Keep thinking fella, there's got to be one shirley...

ok can think of 2, qpr and sunderland were the 2 games that stands out as games we deserved to win, maybe everton and southampton too at a push but out of all the games we have played can't think of many where we have been the better side.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Because we are utter tripe at getting the ball forward through the center with any remote sense of urgency. We allow opposing teams to compact very easily, and we haven't the skillsets or mentality in the final third to then reopen them.

As great of a player as Bale was, the event that caused this downward spiral in efficiency was the day we sold Modric, and we accelerated by not buying adequate replacements in now multiple transfer windows, and furthermore in a window in which we more than had the funds to do so.

And we've never replaced Berbatov?

Agreed but from the Clubs point of view we got good money for modric which is the important thing to remember.

 

[millsey]

If we had a hint we would have won that game
