Monaco Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[SEANSPURS1975]

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse. These players are shaming the Tottenham shirt.

 

[nightgoat]

How have we gone from the best defence last season to this shit?

Replacing Dier with Wanyama. Wanyama has all the discipline of a five year old left unsupervised with a biscuit tin.

 

[Wsussexspur]

so embarrassing

 

[poc]

Look how many they break forward with it's a joke taking the piss out of us as we are not a threat breaking away ourselves

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Still plenty of time to try and get another pen

It shows how I'm feeling about the side that I just saw that and laughed. I've gone beyond hoping there could be more - I never felt like that last season

 

[LeSoupeKitchen]

Christ almighty. I'm working through the thread and we get a penalty and WE SCORE! Five posts later we're losing again.

This just a bit crazy. If I keep scrolling we will score again? I can't wait to find out!

If we get another pen.

 

[Damian99]

I have to question Poch here now, what the fuck is he doing? What the fuck did he do at HT - We have been average to below, since the City game and the blokes gotta start earning his corn now, first big ask since he took over us imo now.

 

[stevenurse]

Shame we've had an eye on Chelsea when we should have been going all out for this one

 

[worcestersauce]

I guess a makeshift defence against Europe's top scoring side is going to have problems.

 

[LSUY]

I don't want to hear from any Spurs player that their future is with a different club because they want CL football. No one has excelled in this CL campaign.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Who is this dickhead in the mask?

 

[ILS]

Where the fuck was Trippier? Totally unmarked. Pathetic.

It wasn't Trippers fault as had we been playing with wide man they would of been tracking the goalscorer but we are playing some sort of retarded diamond which means full backs are exposed.

 

[Sevens]

Exactly, we have abandoned everything that was working well last season so we can squeeze in a player because he is a favourite of Poch that's the simple and plain, thing is, we talk about how solid Wanyama is but frankly we are even starting to lose that solid midfield, we are being cut open, hell West Ham cut us open numerous times in mid.

We may not have lost a game in the league but frankly this Wanyama experiment has to stop, when we purchased him I was of the belief he would be a backup to Dier because why change what was working so well? Instead we have changed our entire system basically so we can accommodate him and it is harming our attack.

We need to go back to Dier/Dembele mid, let Dembele push forward more, let Alli sit in front, have Kane up top on his own but I don't know why I am wasting my breath, we both know it won't happen.

I don't agree with that. I think we've changed formation because with Lamela out and Sissoko simply being a disappointment (so far) Poch doesn't feel comfortable in playing his 4-2-3-1.

But to play the narrow diamond one of the forwards and/or the attacking midfielder in the diamond HAS to press the opposition full backs, track the opposition full backs.

 

[yankspurs]

I don't think we're legends - I just don't think we're good enough.

Team and coach are far from good enough. Pochettino is just not close to being a decent manager when it comes to europe. Laughably bad actually.

 

[thfc1973]

We don't deserve to win this game. We are disgraceful. The club should be embarrassed by how we are playing right now.

 

[The Apprentice]

I'd swap Sissoko, Janssen and Nkoudou for One Bernardo. The brains we simply don't have.

 

[ilikeost]

Rose has been just as bad as tripper

Well, they are playing witn no one to help them defend the wide areas since we are playing a fucking diamond again even after the disaster that was a majority of the West Ham game. Astounding that we played the same system today.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

What's happened to my Spurs of last season!? Where the fook have they gone? This is border line incompetence

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Our best fit CB is on the bench ... that says all u need to know about Pochs priorities

 

[SonicSarr]

I'd have had Son and Alli off at half time or before. What happened to our pressing, our quick passing, our formula from last season. Just hope Poch rates this comp much lower than Prem, as I do to be fair.
