Match Threads Leeds Vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 35 - KO 12:30

[DEFchenkOE]

Bale, and Son are so so bad tracking back, feel proper sorry for Reguilon and Aurier.

Yep, their left back made the overlapping run for their second goal and Bale was literally nowhere to be seen.

But Son's tracking back has also gotten very lazy as well.

 

[coy-spurs1882]

fed up of dier, fed up of VAR, fed up of never being able to keep the ball, fed up of this season

fed up of this club too

 

[anydange]

It worries me that Dier thinks the criticism of him has been unfair, that tells me he's not taking responsibility. He needs to go, there are so many options that would be an upgrade that could be bought in for less money than we'd receive for Dier, it's a no brainer.

There seems to be a real problem with our squad accepting responsibility for any of their performances. I’ve no idea why players like Dele or Dier or Winks suddenly thought they were world beaters when they’ve won absolutely nothing. Squad is an absolute mess - full of players with inflated egos with a massive sense of entitlement.

 

[JCRD]

Bale needs to get more involved in the game as does glc

 

[Coneilly]

Not sure why everyone seems to forget this.

I'll take Dier's word over trix on that one

 

[hughy]

Pretty disheartening performance, that.

 

[MillerT]

You don't get into the top 4 with Dier at centre back, simple.

 

[theShiznit]

When they have to win a game of football this teams just disappears.

As long as i can remember the formula seems to be
If Spurs Win = X (X being, goes top, wins a cup, breaks a record) then Win = not.
And on the opposite front
If Spurs opponent have not, won, scored, taken a shit on the pitch, then we will somehow facilitate a way to make it happen.
We're basically the football equivalent of the make a wish foundation.

 

[daveduvet]

Mad starey eyes to take over from Bale; or Stevie B. Sanchez for dier.

 

[mil1lion]

Front 4 are being completely bypassed. Alli needs to deal with Koch and stop pressing towards the centre backs. It's too easy to play around him. Bale is anonymous too much, playing too wide where he doesn't defend and we can't get it out to him.quickly enough. Leeds overworking us and overloading us. Get it together!

That offside is a joke though. It was as level as can be. We're supposed to accept its offside just because they put 1 line ahead of another. You're at a point where your need to know that Kanes toe reaches the end of his boot. Otherwise the tip of his boot is offside but not his toe. Has he cut his toenails too?

 

[muppetman]

That was 4 years ago. His last 12 months was not the same as the previous years.

It's important you say that as nobody has ever mentioned it before.

 

[Stamford]

I cant stand Lo Celso. He achieves nothing despite all his efforts

 

[Cochise]

I think I'm too fuming to watch the second half. I'd be fully behind Mason or someone digging out the VAR team after that.

The pundits all seem to be saying "it's fair" but I guarantee that were it Liverpool or UTD they'd be swarming over it.

 

[Frozen_Waffles]

My god this Defense makes my fucking eyes bleed! They’re so poor! All 4 of em! And the less said about that VAR decision! My Christ!

It's distribution, we are terrible at it, dier can't pass the ball out from he back and whenever aurier or reguillon are pressed they panic.

Hoijberg is on his own in that midfield

 

[n0.1.spurs]

You would think Leeds are fighting for a top 4 spot. The mentality of these players.

 

[AnotherSpursFan]

Son is not good enough at this level, always holding on to the ball on the final third.

Predictable dragback and look around instead of passing to the runner

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Leeds look like a side with a well worked plan, a way of playing where everyone knows their task and works their socks off.

Spurs, not so much.

Leeds are suspect at the back but going forward they’re relentless. Whereas we’re ambling forward with little conviction and then all the forward players forget to run back and leave the defence exposed. The defence has been poor, especially Dier and Reguilon but they’re getting very little support from those in front of them.

 

[YB123]

Aurier has to come off. He is getting absolutely destroyed.

 

[Amo]

If the framerate on those offside cameras are 120fps then that alone makes the margin of error – at best – 5 to 10 centimetres depending on how fast the pass was hit and how fast the receiver is running. It can be as much as 20cm. Anything below 20cm cannot be judged objectively (which is the burden of evidence in offside calls as opposed to clear and obvious on fouls) because it's physically not possible to judge with the current technology.

How many millimeters was Kane judged off there?

That's without considering human error, angles and shutter speed.

 

[Mate]

He’s just as bad in midfield mate. He’s just a shocking player. People are fooled by this hardman/warrior persona. He’s fucking awful. No defensive awareness, turns like oil tanker and his passing is atrocious. He should be playing for one of the relegated sides this season

Oh I definitely agree - just stating where Dier believes his best position is when I'm sure 99% of people would disagree
