Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

[stormfly]

Well, probably worth staying well away from this thread this afternoon.

It’s the only Spurs related entertainment we are going to get today.

 

[Ray Ray]

We've actually played well, but the tactics and corners still leaving us massively exposed. Carbon copy of a long balls and free headers have been happening week in week out and we do nothing about it.

I'm not against Ange, nor do I want him out, but his lack of tactical awareness is slightly unnerving. How can we keep doing the same thing, hoping for a different outcome. Literally the definition of insanity.

 

[Hotspur33]

Bloody hell. I thought we’d get battered today, but I thought we could at least drag it out for 90mins.
Arsenal will just shut up shop for the rest of the game now.

 

[branchie]

Hang on. Are you all turning on Ange now?

The pitchforks are being sharpened apparently...

Son’s done as much in this game as I have sprawled out on a sofa typing angrily into an electronic rectangle.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Maddison has been crap for months and is crap here too

How PEH gets to start when Biss is bad but Gio doesn’t when Maddison is bad despite Gio playing well when given a chance never stop’s annoying me.

 

[TC18]

As much as I love Ange, he needs to sort this shit out. Our defending against set pieces are terrible.

Our mentality is weak it’s summed up by selecting Son as captain, a nice guy but not someone who will drag you through a game, get in the oppositions faces. We just always seem to lay down and take it.

 

[spurs mental]

Ange has a hell of a job on his hands….the question is will he be up to it?……the doubts are starting to creep in.

If he doesn't start coming up with a plan B or something alternative way to approach games then he's not the man for the job. This is pathetic

 

[dontcallme]

Hang on. Are you all turning on Ange now?

All? Absolutely not.

A few in the midst of an embarrassing result at home in a NLD.

 

[waresy]

They've not played badly though. We are being undone by tactics and instruction, not effort and desire.

And the normal game management and a bit of nous to unsettle etc. Always been a problem for us. You'd think with a few south Americans we'd be a bit better at that by now

 

[wishkah]

Game itself has been even enough. But when you can’t defend a corner what’s the point even turning the tv on

 

[Hazelton]

I fucking love Sonny but a serious conversation has to take place about where he's actually going to play long term. Anonymous upfront, past his best on the wing. He can still score with the best of them but I don't know where he plays for us anymore.

As a good coach you have to have a plan b, he doesn’t. I don’t want him sacked, but he’s ne da ti up his game. It’s all well and good being likeable, but doenst get you results.

I don’t even think it’s tactics. It’s a combination of misfortune and incompetence at defensive set pieces.

 

[easley91]

What chances have we created bar that one offside goal. Passing it sideways over and over and over and fucking over again isn't playing well. Passes that go behind the man, pussying out of challenges. Passing around at the back (which doesn't work btw). I expect better. Just my opinion though.

Son just now? Two Romero headers. It was two poorly defended corners and a counter attack we conceded otherwise we haven't really given them anything.

 

[kelloggs]

It's 100% the coaching mate. Whoever it is that is saying we have to zonal mark at set pieces needs the elbow sharpish.

All 3 goal were related to coaching to some degree. Someone should have cleared the lines before gifting the corner for the 1st.,then zonal. 2nd, very high line (maybe debatable) and then the 3rd zonal. At the other end, it must be a directive not to shoot?!

 

[Blue]

Playing at 50% and still for the most part in total control. Thats what good teams do.

 

[HildoSpur]

Hang on. Are you all turning on Ange now?

Nobody with half a brain is no

 

[Lifelong]

Every single corner. We don’t do anything to protect Vic. We just let players stand on him time after time. We literally bang our heads against a wall over and over and wonder why our head is bleeding

This 100%….how we haven’t even attempted to address this is beyond me….criminal..

 

[SlotBadger]

Maddison has been wank.
