Tottenham Vs Bayer Leverkusen: Match Thread

[lukadownthelane]

That was the first time I've ever left the stadium early. The worst performance in a long time. I was so angry I couldn't take it any more.

Also let's not scapegoat Sissoko. He was poor, but at least he had a go. Most of the team didn't even do that.

£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. We're back to the first season under Poch where we have one great performance sandwiched by a dozen poor ones.

We played the best football of any team last season, acknowledged by many. So, you're talking crap.

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

Liverpool pass and move, I'm sorry to say.

Interesting thought

Glen Hoddle: 'Since young players were given long contracts they're too comfortable and have taken their foot off the pedal.'

Abject performance, worst under Pochettino. Watching his pre-match conference you could see he's frustrated at not getting time to work with players (due to all the fixtures) but I've complete faith he has the ability to turn this round and get our young team firing again. Being out of the EFL will help and just to put it in perspective we're still the youngest squad in the EPL are undefeated and 3 points off top. Poch is the best manager we've had in decades and our young team are going to have blips.

Not that I excuse this performance but let's not get carried away..........

Liverpool have one week to prepare for each game. They are weak at the back. Last season, we were passing and moving.

 

[Sweetsman]

Do facts wind you up?

Probably.

 

[Mustard]

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.

I'm not trying to score points. I accept Walker had a shocker.

Yet he still created our best chance.

Sissoko was so bad we may have been better with ten men. He is awful.

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!

We are unbeaten in the league, but we've only played one good game. We've beaten some poor teams and scraped draws against other poor teams. If we don't improve quickly we'll struggle to get one point in our next three games.

It is true that they enjoy more time on the training ground.

However, I often found our style of football difficult to watch last season. I thought we were lacking in creativity.

Last season; last season - this isn't last season

3pts off the top! how about 2pts from the last 9 against average teams, and tonight was a fucking shambles.

 

[Mustard]

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..........

We will smash them 1-3

Get on it

Not sure if your being serious ?

So your negativity is based on the fact that you're Mystic Meg. Fair enough.

 

[jonathanhotspur]

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.

Christ...

Im being serious. What do you disagree with?

 

[Martinhotspur]

I managed to sit through the whole ninety five minutes. The shitness starts with lloris passing the ball to the defenders the defenders fannying about with it passing it back to lloris pass back to defenders more fannying about, boot it to sissoko who gets out jumped by someone half his size and repeat

No. My negativity is based on what I've watched over the last few games.

Sadly I agree.
