Spurs vs West Ham - Match Day Thread

[WiganSpur]

I just don't fucking understand the Sissoko thing at all, he must be fucking Maradona in training to get picked for games, and Sissoko and Dier together is terrible. There's no metronomic presence in there to keep things ticking, even in an unadventurous way, just at all. Dier and Sissoko hide from our defenders when trying to play out and Sissoko hides from the attackers when we are up their end. He's constantly just parking himself next to one of there defenders, and god forbid the ball finds it's way to him, he treats it like it's like a fucking grenade.

Dier's passing is so rudimentary. It's just baffling that we've got Wanyama and Winks on the bench but we get these two is CM.

Poch has to do something at HT, watching these two fucking amble about like insipid turtles is Chinese water torture.

Starting to think Poch sees no connection between the holding players and the rest of our attackers. It's almost as if he sees them as separate entities just there to shield the back four. Surely if he wanted the midfield to play incisive passes then he wouldn't have these two in there. It's just bizarre.

If Sissoko steps back onto the pitch, I might swan dive out the window into this blizzard.

Would be a rare assist for him.

COYS

 

[ultimateloner]

Having said that the longer this last the more in favor for us. Game of attrition.

I've never seen guile written so many times in my life, is it the new buzzword?

Fucking hell.

Actually burst out laughing at this.

 

[nedley]

Davies has made some good runs to make space for others.

The rest need to do the same.

Surely you’ve heard it plenty of times; Street Fightspur II Turbo was huge back in the day.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

It's no wonder we struggle to break down defensive teams when we have a complete lack of guile in the team, save for Eriksen. It's why someone like Isco would absolutely transform our side.

Philip Lesniak would improve the guile of this team right now

 

[Diarmuid]

What are the odds sissoko,next goal? He scored against the spammers,before

Own goal more likely

 

[guiltyparty]

Embarrassing Serge

 

[tony0379]

Some absolutely crazy decision making my out players tonight

Clearly not a Street Fighter fan.

Poor Phil

 

[walton]

Get Dembele on... Need someone to break the lines. Too often we have Dier facing their back 8 with no chance of finding a killer pass

 

[nedley]

If you'e going to pass it back Sissoko can you do so accurately.

It' slow enough as it is.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Oh yay! Sissoko's back on! This blizzard looks mighty tempting

We get your drift ....

 

[glacierSpurs]

Come on Mike Dean, just give us a penalty of any sort.

 

[Blue]

we need to make that change now

Clearly not a Street Fighter fan.
