Tottenham vs West Brom: Match Thread

[Mr Pink]

Leicester is the ole 'must win' now.

Exceptionally disappointing result and performance.

I'd take top 4 now, going to be difficult though if we continue to perform like this. Becoming predictable at Wembley to defensive teams.

I just don't understand why we can't start games with more tempo.

 

[JayB]

More points dropped against the dregs of the league. Poch needs to have a long, long look at himself.

It was so fucking predictable. We have struggled in every single match of this type and Poch hasn't even attempted to change anything. What would we have to lose by putting Edwards or Shashoua on the bench? Why not throw KWP, the best dribbler in first team reckoning, on to see what happens?

We all knew we'd be crying out for some creativity or trickery come the hour mark and yet, nothing. It's fucking disgraceful.

 

[dirtyh]

until we find a way/system/player that enables us to effectively beat the bus parking negative fucks this will be commonplace as there are loads of them in the league now.

 

[thefierycamel]

Fast track edwards into the first team squad. We're desperate for a player like him ffs. No one can beat a man in our team

 

[thinktank]

Sonny - disgraceful.

Stop neggin this, you a-frames.

I was on about him mucking about with it in the left corner of the box when he should have just chipped it in.

He was our MoM overall...if there has to be one.

The downside to playing the full strength team vs Dortmund

 

[theShiznit]

The stickers are starting to peel off the Dele Alli hype train.

 

[anydange]

Most angry I've been watching Spurs in a long time.

Assist aside Dele was fucking atrocious and Eriksen was AWOL the entire match.

Son was a threat and Kane showed some drive but the rest of the team were awful.

Ref was a total bottle job too. Foster was wasting time 17(!!) mins in and wasn't booked til the 80th min.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Not knocking Poch, but he says that the team needs to learn how to break down sides that sit deep, well for a season and a half this current squad have proved that they cannot.

About time that he realised that and brought in players who could. This type of defending is going to be the same when we are at home against half the PL sides yet to come to Wembley.

I am fed up with all the talk, it's about time he walked the walk.

 

[Blue]

absolutely shit. Long time since i've been so mad because of football.. We are so ineffective and bad against lesser teams. We are in desperate need of a player that can dribble and get past players.

 

[Streetspur77]

The knee jerk is so fucking annoying. Yes it's an shit result, but the performance wasn't anywhere near as bad as everyone is making out. PARK BUSING TEAMS ARE HARD TO BEAT

People calling us legends and saying poch needs to be 'seriously questioned' are embarrassing, we've just topped out champions league group, we're 4th in the league all whilst playing every game away from home

The entitlement from our fans now is unbearable

 

[Hazardousman]

How does he blow bang on 95? How many of those 5 minutes was the ball in play. Football is shit.

That's not the only thing football is these days mate, the only way this league will ever start change is by replacing 80% of the officals we have because most of them are dreadful.

 

[bat-chain]

The amount of time wasting we suffer is criminal, Pochettino needs to call it out, we are barely able to play any football.

 

[WiganSpur]

In attack we have nowhere near enough competition for places and quality rotation options. Good depth puts fire up players arses, it prevents burnout and it gives us options to change a game from a bench.

Time for Pochettino to move in the transfer market or blood a couple of youngsters. If he does neither I think we'll be playing Europa League football in our new stadium next season.

 

[Dennism]

I cannot understand why at our club we are unable to produce a young striker who can go on the bench. We need to write off Llorente and hope some mugs will buy him in January. To me he looks like a cardboard cutout that doesn't give a monkeys.

 

[glacierSpurs]

When Eriksen is shit, we will be shit. Today proves again.

 

[ilikeost]

We should just buy Rondon so we don't have to play against him.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

It's games like today when Alli bumbling around the pitch a more hindrance than help. He just seem to fuck away the ball every time it came near him in the second half.

 

[yiddopaul]

Jesus we nearly lost it there
Such a poor performance and now 2 very tough away games coming up

Makes me laugh reading some posts from this week where people didn't see us dropping any points between now and City away - always knew this was gonna happen, I said it last Sat

It was not a poor performance. We were the only team trying to play football. We deserved to win this. It wasn’t our best performance, but we were by no means poor.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

I would make everyone walk home naked
