Tottenham Vs Bayer Leverkusen: Match Thread

[nedley]

Well the Arsenal game is one to watch at home behind the sofa.

 

[dondo]

don't know how you and single out players in that match, I seen 14 dog shit players

I'm not just talking about this one match. All 3 have been woeful all season. Walker was probably the worst today but has been having a good season until tonight

...with the TV turned off and the blindfold tightly on.

Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

Had it not been for the massive dragging of heels our summer signings would have been a LOT more acceptable and sensible. Levy panicked when he got it wrong and realised what the consequences were going to be, think about it, how Levylike is it for him to make a last minute signing and STILL pay over the top? Its completely against type. He shat himself.

And Poch stated he wanted his summer dealings done early..........Things weren't right at chez lane

I still say that it wouldn't surprise me if we were looking for a new manager come the end of the season.

Completely agree. There was numerous occasions where we looked to be interested in the right type of player only for it to never materialise, either someone was dragging it out or someone wasn't been backed. And should the last sentence of what you say transpire then I think it's time to realise that he will never completely back a manager. Let's hope Poch can find a solution, although I'm not absolving him of any blame recently.

The scary thing is all our home games next season are at Wembley ...

Has that been confirmed?

 

[Mustard]

Seems pretty obvious who the season's scapegoat is. As poor as Sissoko has been, Walker has been even worse and two or three others just as bad, in fact there's not one player out there who's played well, the team as a whole were awful.

I'm hoping against hope that Kane returning lights some sort of spark in them, I think we may well have missed him a lot more than I thought we would.

Good for you. I'll stick to thinking we're a very good team having a bad bad run, but I see where you're coming from. Now you've accepted that you won't have any complaints going forward, will you? Shrewd

Walker tries. He tries his hardest. Sometimes he's brilliant. Hellfire he created our best chance. He tries so hard that he makes mistakes. But Walker is a gem. Probably the best RB in the Prem.

Don't compare him to Sissoko.

Do you think Poch will leave?

I roll with the punches, you take the good games in the same way you take the bad ones and you'll live longer without the stress. But this one I might not bother with......Happily I do have other things to do. My gooch needs trimming with a blunt razor, this might be the right time to see to it..........

 

[tottenmal]

Has that been confirmed?

Nope, they said they had the option. Or something along those lines.

I'd be shocked if Poch agrees to play there at this rate, it'd be suicide.

Oh befuckinghave, for fucks sake. Walker was worse than Sissoko, that's an opinion of his performance tonight, not a comparison of the two players. Jesus christ.

You hero

Walker reverted to his awful version tonight, he played like one of his zombies.

 

[coypu]

Just watched an interview with dele and dier and they are both saying we need to finish our chances!!! Are they not aware we didn't actually create any notable ones.

They've been stating that after the last several premier league games as well. They should be too ashamed to give an interview regardless of UEFA rules, and pay the bloody fine for not presenting themselves for interview. So disappointing after waiting so long to get into CL.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Has that been confirmed?

Pretty sure it was confirmed at the same time they announced cl

 

[LSUY]

I think Poch needs to change tactics. Waiting for the opposition to collapse laughing at our comical defending/sloppy passing/Sissoko and then hitting them on the counter didn't work tonight.

 

[diamondlight]

£60-£70 million in five windows spent on attacking midfielders since Poch arrived and not one of them can make a decent pass or show a bit of guile. When you replace technical or clever players with head down and athletic players this is the type of football you'll get.

Or the type of football that destroyed Man City, one of the most thrilling Spurs performances I've ever seen.

I can only hope the demented overreaction from most people on this forum isn't reflected among the real fans in the stadium. We're unbeaten in our first TEN games in the premier league, for crying out loud. We're doing something right.

Pull off a result against Monaco and it's game on again in the CL.

Come on your spurs!

 

[Sweetsman]

You should have heard the bashing Dietmar Hamann gave us at half time. Said we have no tactical awareneas or nous. Said he doesn't like us because apart from trying to win the ball high up the pitch, there is little or no variation to our game. I thought he was spot on.

While we were bad tonight, that is rubbish from Hamman. We play the same pressing game as his beloved Liverpool.

 

[Swalien]

Well that was crap watched it on record as was at a course. Jeez we look shit without our first choice team. Sissoko does not deserve to play he has done absolutely nothing to deserve a place in the starting 11 I don't understand why Poch plays him. I also think playing on the Wembley pitch makes our opponents step their game up more than us, I'm not blaming the pitch though. Also I agree with what Glenn Hoddle said after the game, all those players who got pay rises have taken their foot off the peddle since getting their new contracts. Less hunger in their play.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Do you think Poch will leave?

I don't know, it just wouldn't surprise me. Nothing in football surprises me any more

 

[diamondlight]

Is this a wind up?

Do facts wind you up?
