Tottenham Vs Monaco: Match Thread

[thefierycamel]

Is gkn dead? This would have been the perfect game to bring him in. Need a bit more pace and skill

 

[gushayes11]

No striker with pace is a major problem for us. Kane is way way off form. Season relys on him. Still think we were very unlucky to lose though tonight

Yep did you see Vardy tonight, pace,pace, pace.

 

[lis spur]

Well we usually go out on competitions with a whimper, maybe after this start we will end with a bang!!!!

 

[spursfan77]

Agreed.

We play Sunderland at home. Sunderland are absolute shite. Horrific team. There is EVERY reason to rest Kane this weekend and give Janssen a start.

Kane should not be starting.

He was poor. No idea how he stayed on the pitch. Manager kept him on and changed the shape of the team making us less effective. Poch takes as much of the blame.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Sissoko with Dembele in the middle.
.

We saw that combination for a few minutes today, and I was not impressed (apart from what was down to Dembele alone, not to the CM pairing).

Eriksen is seriously starting to fucking cheese me off.

Paint me a pretty picture @Bus-Conductor

Welcome to my world.

Kane needs to be rested on the weekend and dier too for wanyama, what exactly has dier done this season to warrant starting over wanyama?? Vertonghen out too for me, slows everything down and can't defend.

Agree, Dier has been so poor and verts also backing off all the time every tackle is a last ditch effort Wimmer partnered Toby better imo. Kane could do with being rested as much as I think Janssen could use a start.

 

[thinktank]

Well... we're just going to have to bulldoze this lot away.

What we should have done.

I don't think we did, Sissoko was playing on the right.

Have i stumbled into the Celtic forum in error?

 

[THFCWHL82]

I blame THFCSPURS19 for his starting lineup.

 

[nedley]

Kane shouldnt start but I'm not sure Janssen should either tbh.[/QUOTE

Why not Janssen? Has he not shown enough in his sub appearance that he's worth a start over a horribly out of form Kane.

 

[belsunz]

There was one moment in the first half: Dele set Kane up with a through ball and Harry was done for pace by Kamil Glik of all people! Harry made Kamil look like Usain Bolt! That told me everything: he is out of form and should be rested...

 

[dondo]

Mentioned it plenty of times. Search my posts for jannsen/vince etc. Can't be arsed to go into it again tbh mate

Ha ha not that bothered to trail through post after post of yours on a subject Im confident of knowing the answer too

So how was that few minutes? and why based on your opinion over the few minutes you watched won't it work?

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Against Sunderland I'd prefer:

Lloris
Walker Toby Wimmer Rose
Dembele Wanyama
Sissoko Dele Son
Janssen

And fuck the consequences.

 

[Spurs' Pipe Dreams]

If you'd have told me that we'd have 63% possession and they'd have two shots on target I'd assume there's only one winner.

Unfortunately both of their shots hit the back of the net ffs

You gotta love being a Spurs fan

 

[diamondlight]

Yep did you see Vardy tonight, pace,pace, pace.

The biggest problem with Kane at the moment is not a lack of pace - he never had any. He seems to have lost that demon shot of his. When he first broke into the team he was shifting the ball then nine times out of ten sending a rasping bullet of a shot flying at the goal. These days he shifts the ball then scuffs it. It was exactly the same for England. How can a player with such a fearsome strike suddenly lose it overnight? Poor coaching?

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

From the BBC:

Despite defeat, it will have been a profitable evening for the north London club with the crowd being the highest home attendance for an English club.

No doubt our Chairman will be going home tonight with the bigger smile of the two.
