Match Threads Fulham vs Spurs

[neogenisis]

It is not that easy when you have not played one game together. It is to many changes at ones!

That's OK then, I'm sure Ange will be saying the same thing.

 

[Huddlestone22]

Ange needs to loose his shit at HT.

Some laxatives should do the trick.

 

[panoma]

The drop off in quality from our regulars to backups are huge.

I'd like to see Udogie, Maddison, Son and Bissouma on for Davies, Skipp, perisic and PEH.

Give Richy and Solomon 20 more minutes and take one off for Kulu.

Ange needs to loose his shit at HT.

Hopefully, he'll only lose it but anything could happen

 

[Sweech]

Can hear that ange screaming UPUPUP press press! but Hojbjerg and Skipp just staying in the block when wings and richy press....

They look like they're still playing for Conte/Mourinho

 

[hutchiniho]

Will that wus rubbish mite.

Clear we have a good first team but if that spine isn’t on the pitch we are in trouble. Can’t defend, can’t pass, can’t press, can’t keep possession, can’t go forwards. Very poor with zero effort, tempo.

We need some subs on early in this match and we really need some depth signings before the transfer window closes.

 

[thebenjamin]

Whichever way you look at it, we are in serious trouble in the centre forward position. Richarlison isn't fast, nor is he strong or good at holding the ball up, and he doesn't score very often, even when he's playing well. If you were scouting for a specific profile, he doesn't fit into any metrics you'd look for. It's not even about comparing him to Kane, it's just that he doesn't offer very much.

 

[faze_coys]

Completely pointless inverting Davies out there, looks completely lost in central positions, and when he does get the ball he has no clue what to do with it. At least royal is finding some decent positions inside and trying to link up.

 

[Goofster]

I don't think the issue is our depth, slotting a couple of these players in to the regular lineup would be fine, but throwing out an almost full second fiddle team and expecting them to gel is naive, it's not like we're facing a league 2 side.

 

[sundanceyid10]

5 subs and we can salvage this

Bissouma > Hojberg
Sarr > Skipp
Son > Perisic
Romero > Sanchez

Give Lo Celso 10 minutes to show something if not then get Maddison on.

I’d haul him off as well

 

[glacierSpurs]

the difference between our 1st team and 2nd is gigantic, i cant bare to see sanchez, peh, davies anymore, skipp looks lost as usual, I long for sarr and bissouma

These old guard players from last eras really have to go. We need a clean break. They are playing with past baggage. It's a nightmare for everyone.

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

So far we are showing that we are a Maddison or Bissouma injury away from Not being able to play the Ange way and compete.

A real lack of quality depth - despite a bloated squad.

 

[Tyler24durden]

Ange needs to make big changes if he wants to win this tie.

 

[Yiddo100]

Best thing about that half is it’s only 1-0, get the players on and we can still do it.

 

[TEESSIDE1]

As a minimum I would expect to see Bissouma, Udogie and Son to come on. Had Porro been on the bench it would have been a toss up between him and Udogie as we need a threat from at least one of our full backs as well as up top.

Davies is Davies, not done much wrong but he’s of little threat to Fulham. Perisic has been shocking with Hojbjerg not far behind.

 

[JimmyG2]

34 minutes before we put a sustained progressive move together
and that ended going backwards.to the defensive line.

 

[isaac94]

The drop in quality from Bissouma, Sarr and Maddison to Hojberg, Skipp and Lo Celso is enormous.

add romero to sanchez and udogie to davies, and vicario to foster, scary aint it, if we get a few injuries we are truly screwed

 

[SpursForever71]

not sure how we will ever win a cup, once we drop a few players we are so bad. Drop 9 and we have no chance

 

[thehipster]

I would prefer to see Spurs youngsters getting blooded rather than some of the more 'mature' players being given another run out.
The youngsters have far greater agility, pace and desire. And they carry around far less baggage than all these current lot on the pitch.

 

[PCozzie]

Understandably disjointed, but you can see there's a lot of panic on the ball. We're getting pressed all over (and tbf Fulham are doing a really good job of that) and the movement isn't good enough to compensate for the bad first touch. It's just pass, touch, tackle. Looks very much like the Spurs of last year - which in many ways it is.
