There is rusty and then there is just poor performance he has lost control and given the ball away countless times no excuse.

Agree, its just an explanation why, especially the rest of players bar Romero have had atleast 3 weeks

 

[RamonVega'sShinners]

Wasnt condescending, just honest.

If we finish top 4 and haven't been in Europe we'll be in pot 3 or 4 and our chances of getting out of the group will be a lot lower. That's why it's important.

Yep, I know and I get that I’m just saying I don’t think if we stay in this we even get top 4. Plus being in pot 3 or 4 isn’t something players consider when signing for a champs league club is it. We be back in cl attracting better players. We’ve got out of tough groups before.

 

[soflapaul]

Looks like a more experienced team playing against a young team with little cohesion or common understanding. No presence in midfield. Crowded final third and playing into pressure. Disappointing performance but not too surprising given the line up.

 

[Gbspurs]

Can someone explain to me what Lo Celso is?

Shit

 

[defoes5]

Such a disappointing outcome of £100m what gio and tangauy have shown so far

 

[God&Texas]

Nah I rate Lo Celso, tonight has been very poor though.

Especially, as before the game looking at the team sheet, he had to be the calming senior presence to organize and keep us moving. Absolutely failed in that regard. Up the left side is the only way we have progressed the ball, the middle (and right) has been a complete lost cause. We have created 0 true dangerous openings since Gil found Sessegnon in what, minute 4?

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Of course, if Kane was a bit more professional, we would at least have had Bergwijn for this game...

And, if Paratici had gotten some attacking players in by now, who needed minutes to get up to speed...

 

[nferno]

Winks is the problem but he’s still on the pitch.

Doherty too.

 

[idontgetit]

Would have had White on for Lo Celso or Winks.

 

[freeeki]

Sess off for Bennett

 

[nedley]

Sessegnon is miles away from the first team on that showing.

 

[mattstev2000]

Kudos lads, bar one or two of you, you've all played yourself thoroughly out of contention for a first team spot.

 

[jonnyp]

It’s a pre season game. Stop panicking all.

You ok under there, Gio?

 

[spursfan77]

what a waste of £110 million they are proving to be

Poch absolutely fucked that last transfer window of his.

 

[theShiznit]

We're just standing on our markers. the distance between midfield and attack is too great, just relying on wide men creating or long balls, really poor.

 

[Col_M]

I spent a good 8minutes watching a YouTube vid of Gio running with the ball, slicing defences to pieces. Then he joined us.

rinse and repeat Bryan.

 

[SpursTillIDie1882]

Pastoksi is on nice ?

J'Neil scored a peach against the chelsea U23 earlier on in the week

 

[Hotspur_Hero]

I will never understand why we play 3/5 in the back for games like this. It doesn't work. It never works. Too many players sitting in the back field and we do a terrible job using the width of the pitch.

 

[wrd]

Fuck me, people finally giving Lo Celso some shit for being poor for us thus far and it still has to include Ndombele don't it. I promise you can critique Gio without mentioning Ndombele.

 

[paulcumpstone]

Its like nuno thinks a 1 nil defeat is a good result. Sat doing fuk all
