Match Threads Spurs vs Man City - Day 14

[Gareth88]

Maybe Gil off for PEH have Johnson or Deki move out left

 

[Joely]

Physically, Walker v GIl is man v boy. Needs to come off at half time if Richarlison is in a position to play 45 mins.

 

[Tonio]

Yeah, pump it long to the aerial powerhouses we have up front?!
It'll just come straight back at us.

Can't disagree. But giving it away in our final third is madness.

 

[cjbyid]

We're playing the best team in Europe with a depleted squad, who will create plenty of chances against the best defences.

We've done alright to keep it at 2-1, we were never getting anything from this.

 

[Col_M]

All the criticism of Gil yet most of the time we are able to play out on our
Left. Struggling on the right side.

 

[Fidget]

Really nothing against Gil, and I’m not even digging him out, but he really is just a decent player who has ended up in the wrong league.

La Liga or similar he could have a good career, but I just can’t ever see him having the strength or presence required to make any success of himself in the premier league. Just too lightweight.

Looks like a very young youth player filling in.

City just too strong for him. He can do a job for us.

 

[McFlash]

...and another. Every single goal we have conceded in the last two games was due to lack of communication in central defense. In what planet is Davies+Royal in CD preferable to playing Dier, I don't know. Not to mention Watkins' disallowed effort and the Haaland sitters. We have seen Conte and Mou, but Ange's stubbornness is something else.

Dier is injured.

 

[RuskyM]

I think Hojbjerg would make himself available for the defences, which Lo Celso and Yves haven’t really.

 

[Freddie]

Gil just is not physical enough to succeed in this league

To succeed in this league with his frame you have to be really, really good. And he's just quite good.

 

[JSpurs1]

Yeah, pump it long to the aerial powerhouses we have up front?!
It'll just come straight back at us.

Not to Sonny but have BJ start wide and drop it over the full backs. He’s already beaten him in a foot race once

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Kyle Walker is just unbelievably good. Still the best fullback in Europe and arguably the best RB to ever play in the PL.

 

[Mr Pink]

I could see PEH on for Gil second half

 

[cookiemonster]

Lose the lead 4 times in a row

Must be some sort of a record

 

[WiganSpur]

I think I would be tempted to bring on Dorrington for Bryan, playing Emerson RB and pushing Porro up to RM to help with Doku. Either that or PEH for Bryan, Kulu RM, Johnson left.

 

[RuskyM]

...and another. Every single goal we have conceded in the last two games was due to lack of communication in central defense. In what planet is Davies+Royal in CD preferable to playing Dier, I don't know. Not to mention Watkins' disallowed effort and the Haaland sitters. We have seen Conte and Mou, but Ange's stubbornness is something else.

Yeah no one’d complain if we played Dier.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Lot of overreactions here. We are down to the barebones defensively. I still think we look dangerous on the break. Our final ball has been underwhelming. If we sort that out we may have got another goal. Just like their finishing has been underwhelming too.

Na don’t think there are overreactions, they’ve had 11 shots to our 2 and have really dominated us, but that is fine we expected this with the line-up we’ve had to put out, the boys out there are giving 110% and trying to play the way Ange wants but this could be 4/5-1, Haaland has missed 2 sitters and they’ve hit the post and bar, let’s not pretend we are or have particularly been in the game here.

But sure whilst the score line is like it is let’s see but with nothing on the bench can’t see it changing unfortunately.

But again not a criticism of Ange at all, perfectly happy with the approach it’s just highlighting which of our players aren’t quite up to it.

 

[fatpiranha]

Well we've got to half time having scored one more and conceded two less than I expected. Can't complain at that .

 

[Tucker]

Gary Neville wouldn’t last long under Ange as a player would he.

 

[Britishhawk]

I don’t feel that upset about things. If we had a full strength team and not a makeshift defence I’d be a bit more disappointed.
PS. Atmosphere worst In the league ?

 

[Trent Crimm]

I could see PEH on for Gil second half

I see dead people.
