Match Threads Spurs vs Wolverhampton Wanderers - Match Thread

Exactly

To me it was obvious we were in trouble from the first minute.

You could see a mile off Wolves tactics were to stay in the game until the 70th minute and then go for it.
You could tell we weren't at the races all day. We didn't turn up.

Kane scores a wonder goal but apart from that we created absolutely nothing, even when we were "on top" in the first half.

As soon as the 2nd half came along I could just tell we were in deep trouble, when Winks, Trippier, Eriksen and Alli started giving the ball away continuously. Wolves were keeping the ball with ease. We couldn't string three passes together.

We've lost 5 games by December. Title challenge over before it began. Wolves completely deserved that.

 

[Metalhead]

You've never seen me jumping on the hype bandwagon, I usually get hammered for being pessimistic and today's performance, more than the result, justifies my perpetual pessimism.

I wasn't aiming that at anyone specifically. If you keep your expectations at a reasonable level then more power to you because as good as this team can be, it's by no means the finished article and personally I never thought we were ready for a title tilt.

 

[UbeAstard]

I don't why Man Utd would want a manager that fails to make changes when it's blatantly obvious that his team is struggling.

What changes would you suggest from today's bench?

Chances are pool will win tonight and we'll still be seven points and +GD ahead of scum in 5th, with Cardiff up next.

So we just get on with it and put this one behind us.

Wolves earned the spoils today.

Whoopee doo!! Didn't realise there was a trophy for finishing above the scum!

 

[riggi]

We diddnt bottle anything. We lost a home league game in December.

 

[Bobbins]

At least all our fans just went home early. The Leicester fans booed their team off for conceding late on to Cardiff - I mean it's not like they've beaten Chelsea and City in their last two games or anything.

What’s the news on Lamela’s injury?

Saw the replay of the Kane one and it shows the trailing leg of the wolves player, clipping his heel.

If you are talking about when he was booked for diving then no. He didn't dive and was clipped. Clear foul.

Fair, thanks gents. A shame then but still can't hand on heart say we deserved that.

 

[Indisguise]

Well, I'm routing for the Arseoles this evening much as it pains me to do so.

 

[yankspurs]

Desperately need some options in CM. Completely overrun by Wolves in midfield and we have no option to bring anyone on and regain possession.

Dreadful second half. Winks, SIssoko, Trippier, Eriksen and Alli were all passengers in that second half. Trippier is a deadset fraud at RB. Would prefer to see Walker-Peters/Aurier used going forward.

We have had quite a few poor games this season against teams like Wolves and we weren’t punished. Today we were.

With any luck, trippier will be sold from under Poch this month. Poch simply cant be given the option to play him at this point. He’s a complete liability.

 

[JimmyG2]

I see one person
got the prediction correct.
Jinxer take a bow.

 

[Sarsipius]

Ref missed two valid pens for us. We didn't deserve to lose on the balance of things.

 

[Damian99]

Wolves definitely won’t get two but they might get one.

Well mate in a roundabout way, you were right.

 

[NickHSpurs]

And THAT is why we desperately needed that central midfielder in the summer!

You should of given Poch a bell if you could see all that. Maybe we’d have won with you manager!

If we can't motivate ourselves for this game. We deserve fuck all

 

[ackie]

We could have brought Skipp on and sured up the defense by taking off trippier and davies who havent played well all season

Skipp for who?
Trippier and Davies come off and who do we put in?
I personally don't rate Trippier
We need to invest, that is now so obvious.
We have injuries to Dier, Wanyama, Dembele, Lamela... All midfielders.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Is Llorente actually injured btw or was he just not selected due to speculation about him leaving?

Our bench is weak as it is, can’t afford to rely on 1 attacker on the bench
