Gent Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[2bearis2do]

Gent 8th in the Belgium league.
Spurs lost 8 of their last 11 European away games.
Let's just focus on the FA Cup shall we?!
We're never going to win this shambolic competition and it's just going to ruin our league form (again).
The best way to predict the future? Look at our past...

Eriksen for winks what a fucking surprise. Poch you can play them together ffs

Our current performances have truly left me without a descriptive word that can describe my level of annoyance with this team and manager.

It feels like everything good we have done over Christmas and that wonderful result against Chelsea is being completely undone because we have reverted back to exactly how we were earlier in the season.

The most uninspirational, tepid, and ponderous football I have seen us play at times under Poch this season since he has been our manager, it's been a real hot and cold season.

The only real positive is that we have somehow, despite this, managed to stay in contention for the top four in the league so far.

Our european campaigns however including the EL so far, have quite frankly been a fucking embarrassment.

I expected even more considering this is after our game from Liverpool, some sort of reaction but there is nothing, where is the passion we have come to know from this team under Poch? Where is the drive and desire? It was there a month ago, it's gone again now.

I said my fear the other day was we would "down tools" now the league is gone, this kind of performance just makes me fear that even more.

Both Poch and the players need to improve and fast.

I think I need @Good Doctor M to come and give me some form
Think we will get a shock at Fulham can see them knocking us out we look flat as a pancake.

i don't care if lamela's only got 1 leg. get him back. we suck balls right now.

 

[shelfmonkey]

Poch has lost his fuckin marbles!!!!

 

[rossdapep]

Why when missing two or three players are we a completely different team?

 

[ziggy]

The lack of creativity strikes again

 

[stevensthfc]

Poor.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Too many bang average fuckers costing too much and earning too much.. No desire or heart being shown

 

[DiamondLites]

They're playing us off the pitch to be fair

 

[Deleted member 27995]

It's like watching a team that has been prepped to fail, on purpose but not on purpose.

Players who are normally solid just aren't performing. I know not every game is perfect, but 'kin hell.

 

[Ossie85]

And the ref is terrible

 

[StevePil]

We really are in a bad run again and our hard work is going to be undone, we will lose on Sunday and be 6th in a few weeks, guaranteed.... just hope Poch sticks with this team as he clearly hasn't been backed again and this squad is simply not good enough, no striker on the bench??!!

 

[Snarfalicious]

Esiti has been awesome but he's gotten away with a shit ton of fouls.

 

[thebenjamin]

We look so tired

 

[Spur4life]

What has happened to us ? They all look lost and looks like they don't want the ball.

 

[Chris12]

I really don't think a lack of pace is our problem. I genuinely believe a lack of creativity and ability to pick a pass and control a fucking ball is.

 

[hughy]

Are we playing vs Barcelona?

No.



Maybe PSG...

 

[Shadydan]

Can someone explain how it's possible for us to be so shit. Even on a bad day we should comfortably beat this team.

This is the problem right here, why should we 'comfortably' beat them?

These European teams always raise their games against Prem opposition, they are playing well.

I've always said it, people need to lower their expectations of us in this comp, we don't have a device right to win it.

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

at this rate we'll soon be talking there's always next season... sinking ship on all fronts
