Match Threads Spurs vs Watford - Carabao Cup Match Thread

[LexingtonSpurs]

I know Davies needs a run of minutes to get in form, but I'd be pretty tempted to just rotate Rose and KWP right now - unless KWP training is rubbish.

 

[werty]

look at the bright side - Winks was pinging it around pretty well in the second half and released Dembele with a lovely ball for our second.

Winks was actually allowed to play centre midfield in the second half and it made a big difference in his performance.

Don't fancy Lamela, Son or llorente to score a pen really

Right on all three guesses. Not.

Need a leftie on that side though. KWP and another player who cuts in playing in front of him would make us too narrow.

4th competitive penalty shoot out win in our history. Can you name the other 3 ?

Anderlecht in 84, obviously

No idea about the other two.

Hull in 13/14

I know he was partially at fault for the second goal by loosing possession on the half way line. But aside from that I thought Lamela was excellent again once we brought on a forward. Lovely reverse pass for Deles pen and a excellent goal. If he continues to do this he could be big for us.

Maybe this will galvanize the team a bit move gazza to number 2 stop playing Davies, jobs a good'un

Davies has been so poor this season. No excuse for him either with a full pre season.

Toby is starting to look more and more like old Toby! Some of those passes!

 

[SdB]

Oh fuck off

What's your problem?

If you didn't think that was awful I'm not quite sure what you were watching.

 

[MyNameIsNicolaBerti]

Since Watford have very little to aim for this season other than cups, why did they think defending all 11 behind the ball for 45 minutes was a winning strategy? Pathetic really

What shit are you talking? They're fourth in the table! They can at least have a crack at a half decent league run from that standing. Maybe get Europa League football. They've had a great start to the season.

Peterborough?

I agree. Poch had both he and Sissoko holding behind the fullbacks much of the first half - Winks on the left and Sissoko on the right. No point in putting Davies forward right now as poor as his form is.

 

[ardiles]

Gomes is a decent penalty saver unfortunately

Gazza is even better.

 

[spurs mental]

Davies had a summer off and has come back playing like he's got lead in his boots.

Glad Rose has clicked into some form.

They were great penalties too.

 

[UbeAstard]

YUK! TFFT.
Poor decision to start with no recognised front man (Son or Llorente), then to watch 60 minutes with them gobbling up any crosses into their box, and being reluctant to cross with that realisation. Also being stiffled in the middle when in their half, then coming out 2nd half and them dominating while we wait till 60+ minutes to make changes. Bad day at the office Poch.

I’ve never even known of Success to start for Watford (even though he wears their number 10 shirt OCD alert! ), he’s been there donkeys but always seems to be being loaned somewhere.

 

[Phomesy]

Lamela needs to start games or play whenever he can.

He starts Champions League.

Pretty sure Poch rates him.

 

[WiganSpur]

First half tidy but toothless, second half was very good apart from the final third.

We were moving the ball around better with Wanyama and Winks.

Shame about Aurier's injury, he was just starting to show some form.

 

[St José Dominguez]

Good win, performance is irrelevant considering all the changes. Getting through to next round is all that matters in a cup we should be aiming to win.

Football isn’t just about getting knocked out of the CL and then striving to get top 4 so you can get knocked out of the CL again a year later.

 

[Fidget]

Through to the next round. What are the bedwetters going to complain about now?

you?
