Tottenham vs West Brom: Match Thread

[shoggy33]

Really need Alli and Eriksen to get their act together here. Used to Alli falling over and constantly giving it away, when Eriksens doing it too we are in trouble.

Look at my post last weekend, I said this would happen
West Brom have been a bogey team on us for years... look at the stats, yes a 4-0 win last year but otherwise they have our card, lose today and we are in trouble for top 4

we need a big 2nd half

Nothing to do with running fast.

Their style/attacking threat whatever you want to call it. Would give us some real wingback play

 

[rossdapep]

Right, time to turn up the heat now. Need to be relentless for 45

 

[SEANSPURS1975]

Cannot get over that goal. Dele cheaply loses possession, Sanchez just gets barged out the way and Lloris bizarrely right on his line when Rondon is shooting halfway inside our box. Laughably shit.

 

[The Apprentice]

Kane in non pass mode again.

 

[nedley]

He's quite obviously not a poor player. He looks tired and out of form but there's no one to replace him in the squad to keep him in peak condition.

Some of us have been asking for that player for 6 Windows now...

Trippier and Davies as a pair are useless in these types of games. This is where we miss Walker or Rose.

Having two average speed full backs just doesn't work at Wembley against these type of teams. Amount of times Trippier had chance to try and take left back on but didn't because he's not fast enough, get Aurier on at half time.

Didn't they both play in the vast majority of games last season, and especially at home against sides sitting deep.

If we are dependant on wing backs to win games then we have real problems.

 

[thinktank]

And there you go with Davies swinging an early ball in from deeper. Correct tactic

Clearly, poch had a word.

I don’t think we’re playing bad. West Brom are probably the worst team to go behind against. Because they’re not a good footballing side, they just stick everyone in there own half. I would rather go behind against a top six side. My only hope is WB get knackered as the game goes on. Even if we score, a draw will suit them, so we have to score two against a park the bus team.

Early goal will be ideal.

Well done

 

[StevePil]

and seriously why does Poch keep rotating the wingbacks.... we beat madrid and Dortmund (Rose and Aurier) we nearly drop points to Palce and West Brom (who knows) tripps and davies

Don't get me wrong they have been brilliant but we need pace at Wembley against these sort of sides

 

[Deleted member 27995]

With two banks of four sitting as deep as their own area, no point in having pace out wide if they then defend that same space, need to move their midfielders about/out, not enough movement for me in and around the area from us.

It's always an important 45 minutes, we need an early goal.

Mate, they were my first ever words and I'm 43.

There are just too many players out there not on their game.

Trippier and Davies played against Real Madrid when we beat them. Trippier was arguably the best player on the pitch

Rose and Aurier didn’t play a minute

Shit ref as usual in this league
