Norwich Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[nialsy2005]

Unlucky.

Better team for 90mins, they got a lucky equaliser and the ball fell to them in the box. We also missed a penalty at the end. LOL

crap we seem to be desperately short of luck at the moment.

WTF is going on with us. We seem to be getting worse. Certainly results are getting slightly worrying even if some of the performances are decent for periods.

We lost to an unlucky deflection on a shot that was going wide and from a free kick that should never have been given. Overall performance wasn't that bad.

 

[Hitch]

Simple incompetence to lose that game. Norwich were dire and did the square root of fuck all for the first 80 minutes - the worst team we've been up against this season outside of Reading.

Both of their goals were lucky but once again our failure to put games to bed had bit us on the arse.

We need more creativity and players who can hold the ball. We don't have anyone apart from Dembele.

Are the players tired in second half ?

Maybe training too hard.

We need a bigger squad. moutinho has to be signed at any cost

It is very weird how often he likes to give the other team the go ahead to throw themselves at us by allowing the team to retreat deeper and deeper, and even exacerbating it himself by bringing on negative subs.. But we were playing without a striker for 89 minutes of that match..which is a stupid state of affairs. Say what you like about the Scum's 'reserves' going through, but look how many attackers they could bring on when it was going tits up..

Same shit, different week. Take the lead and immediately stop playing. Has happened in pretty much every game this season.

Coupled with the fact we still can't take a penalty, corner or free kick.

This shit ain't funny any more.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Its the same bloke, we just play to his weaknesses

 

[walworthyid]

I never like it when we lose but have to be honest and say that I don't really care about this game!

It's all about the league for me these days. Sad but true.

I just want to see us with our full squad fit and available so that we can push on in the league.

On the game, I thought Carroll looked good again as did Falque.

Caulker was steady as usual and Lloris will be a very good keeper for us.

Other than that it was very ho hum.

 

[trevo]

Dempsey? Discuss

 

[Reece]

Only we could get an unjust penalty after going 2-1 down.... and then proceed to miss it! I mean, if anyone wants to bemoan other teams good luck, we don't take advantage of it when we get it. That's a major part of our problem.

crap we seem to be desperately short of luck at the moment.

When have we ever been long on luck?

 

[Scot-Spur]

Wow it's only the league cup and we were the better team for most of the game, just need a bit of luck to go our way. Also someone who can take a pen!

 

[Wsussexspur]

Oh only if we had brought another striker in the summer transfer window! Maybe levy won't fuck about in the Januaury window and buy one!

 

[tomo]

A loss is a loss no matter what competition it is. Fans have paid good money and should expect 100% not a half hearted attempt at a 1-0 win. Really poor and a real lack of killer instinct. Norwich were awful and we just let them beat us.

 

[spud]

I have just one thing to say, and it won't be popular.

That was an absloutely outrageous, disgraceful dive by Walker for the 'penalty'. It made me sick to see it. I am pleased that Dempsey missed the penalty; to have got an equaliser by such blatant cheating would have been wrong. The only bad thing about missing the penalty is that it gives the scapegoat-hunting wankers an easy target in Dempsey.

Walker should be ashamed of himself. I hope the club fines him, and makes the fine public to shame him.

 

[stevenurse]

I miss the times when we actually smashed teams. We haven't spanked anyone since Newcastle if my memory is correct. We haven't really put a team to bed yet, we are like the acne ridden 15 year old that doesn't yet know that if charm, a prawn cocktail and a cheeky fingering doesn't work then rohypnol gets the job done too.

 

[ghetto_spur]

We had the better of the game and most of the possession so we took off our striker and decided to play in our own half for the last 10?

Very negative, we invited this on - like we did against United but we were lucky there.

 

[SEANSPURS1975]

Different day, same shit. Take the lead, then try and defend the 6 yard box. Yes it's only the League cup, but I'm absolutely gutted.

 

[paulcumpstone]

Why can't we have a 90th minute goal for a change! So jealous of other teams.

because other team don't have a manager that throws every defender off the bench onto the pitch the minute they go in front, wouldn't mind if AVB style of play was good to watch but so far this year i can't recall one game where i thought we were class, nearest was probably Lazio. Such a miserable season ahead based on what ive seen so far this season, i hate losing as much as the next fan but prefer to die trying that this defensive shite.

 

[2bearis2do]

Lloris is crap

we need a new goalie in

Tell you what - LLoris is fast off his line, claims the ball well in the box...but yup, I feel far from safe with him between the sticks....it's that continental mental punching nonsense that leaves me Shakier that Stevens playing trick or treat at his own green door!
