Tottenham Vs Partizan: Match Thread

[yojambo]

Some reports connecting it to some pathetic 'prankster' site. There's a possibility that they chose Bassbuds as a cover due to them being associated with Spurs already.

If not...well they'll be receiving a visit from the club lawyers pretty soon, and they can kiss goodbye to ever having a sporting contract again.

My money's on the first possibility. Can just imagine them sat around saying "y'know braa, it's so stupid it might just work."

"its just bassbuds bantz braa"

They could've scored more against us as well, and I don't think our chances were as clear cut as suggested. They all required exceptional finishes.

Yes, they could, but aren't you rather missing the point?

Bassbuds offices on fire yet?

There was no team cohesion and very little in the way of partnership developing across the field. We have very good individuals but no sign of gelling any time soon. When we was at our best the partnerships were all over the pitch. BAE & Bale on the left, Walker & Lennon on the right. Sandro and Modric in the centre not to mention a certain King at the back who would gel with any of our centre backs. Now they look and play like strangers, so very frustrating.

Anyone else notice Stambouli lack of pace? I thought Dawson was slow but he looked like he was running with concrete tied to his feet. I never realised he was so slow before tonights match. He showed some really nice touches on the ball but his lack of pace would leave us even more exposed in a Prem match.

 

[M.I.B.]

I thought both the Bens were Big for us and both the Harrys were able. Verts was smoking a cigar and Chiriches was good.
I could care less if I never saw Lamela play for us again. Cocky and disrespectful to our lesser opponents-he will get it ripped out of him if he tries this v Everton. We have to persevere with him, though because we paid so much. So much talent and nearly all of it wasted. IMO he is Taarabt Mk II. Of course he made a few great passes but he isn't helping the team. Does anybody think he would even make the subs bench in a Mourinho team?
Stam and Bentaleb were great. Lennon started brightly and faded as usual. Same Paulinho.
Thank you, Hugo

Are you serious?

The one player with the skill and bollox to try outrageous stuff. Did you see that dribble and shot towards the end, that the keeper just tipped over? Had that gone in we would have been talking about goal of the season.

Disrespectful my arse.

Yeah was mentioned here a lot of times...worrying. Sprint Speed 64 on Fifa 15 is a bit too much, I think our scouts will complain.

Hoping that's down to lack of match fitness. But his lack of desire to even attempt to track back on three or four occasions was a tad worrying...

is a match/players ratings thread forthcoming?... just asking....

He lost a foot race a couple of times against a nippy winger. Doesn't make him slow.
He ain't fast, though. I thought he did well tonight.

Oh sorry didn't have time to scroll through the thread. I thought he pulled up injured but he was actually running at full pace.

 

[Phomesy]

I disagreed. The defender won the ball, pal.

I must be going blind. Rewinded it three times and Kane gets last touch as far as I could see...

You see the good things. He shows a lot of good things. He is a talented guy like Taarabt.
I see the whole picture. He loses us more than he gains.

Not talking about the winger burning past him. If you watched him off the ball trying to cover back he was blowing out of his ass and couldn't cope with the pace.

Agree. That Rabona was a thing of beauty and I doubt anyone else in the squad would have had the ability to do it, Eriksen maybe? He can be as disrespectful as he likes, if that's disrespect!

Ok, do you and stenmark actually support spurs?
just asking.

 

[CrazyHeart]

Yes, they could, but aren't you rather missing the point?

Perhaps, but Pooch's system is going to take time to settle in and it looks like he's here to stay. Gotta stay positive!

 

[ClintEastwould]

Stambouli suddenly thinks soldiers are the coolest thing, a week after an alledgedly bust up between Ade and Poch? Stambouli who has yet to start a game in the league.....Ade that has that celebration as his signature....its way too coincidental...

I thought you were joking at first. 3 posts later and it's clear you need some help

 

[M.I.B.]

No-one else in the squad comes close to him for talent, so as far as I'm concerned, he can keep doing it because without him we would be as dull as a lot of fans think we actually are.

 

[slartibartfast]

corners and their organization (lack there of) from Spurs tonight is woeful...

Got to disgree.
Our corners have been piss poor for over 3 seasons not just tonight.
Even under Harry I think we went something like over 100 corners without scoring.
See better corners down the park at the weekend.
Never ceases to amaze me.
See Lamela boot it over the entire goal area?
Im f kin 43, haven't played at all for 3 years and I could take a better bloody corner than most of the ones we take.
As Ive said in a previous post, these are the guys who are better at them so it begs the question wtf are the rest like lol?
Edit- oh you meant defending them. Agree lol.
