Tottenham vs West Brom: Match Thread

[Mighty Spurs]

Same old, same old, we always tend to lose points against mediocre opposition. We hardly created any chances.

 

[ikky]

To make matters worse, Man U win by a fluke lucky OG

 

[WiganSpur]

Trippier flatters to deceive, half decent crosser of the ball and thats it.

We've got far more pressing concerns than Kieran Trippier mate

Poch needs to stop saying he was pleased with the effort/performance when we are shit and tell them its not acceptable... to say he was happy last week with the team effort said it all.

I agree with everything poch said last week in his interview and i thought our second half effort was good today.

If we would have drawn 0-0 with arsenal even if we were outplayed thats all better and dandy

The officials made sure that couldnt happen. Hiw many times have we drawn or, been beaten by a top 6 side when weve played the better football or put in more effort

 

[theShiznit]

A complete fucking shambles today.
How is it possible for us to play like we did against Liverpool,Dortmund and Madrid then serve up that utter shit? It's not the first time either against inferior opposition at Wembley.
The league is now gone, simply not good enough.
Go all out for the Champions League and FA Cup whilst hopefully getting top four.

One team comes to attack us, the other doesn't plan to leave their own half (except when Dele presents them with a 1v1)

The knee jerk is so fucking annoying. Yes it's an annoying 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

There is plenty of truth in this. I also believe there’s a sense of entitlement from a few of our players too though.

It’s a poor performance, one of a few we’ve seen at Wembley this season unfortunately.

Also, we will not be 4th come Sunday night. Quite probably be 6th, just above Watford and potentially below Burnley. Take away our champions league campaign and it’s been a pretty bland season thus far.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Sissoko could be a good player for such games I thought. Strong, standing up to them, run direct and draw bodies away.

He should be on instead of the ineffective Llorente.

I agree some of it is over the top, but we wont be top 4 come the end of this weekend IMO.
We have dropped points at home to Burnley, Swansea, West Brom
We are out the league cup.

Poch wanted PL or CL, he aint getting either so he has fucked up by throwing the league cup and he needs the FA Cup. I love Poch and am not a fan saying he needs to be questioned - those fans are a joke after what he has done but equally you cant sit there and say your happy this season as I am not, we have already lost more games than we did all of last season

Some fans are just realistic and you cant moan at them for wanting the team to win, for me it is not Poch it is our transfer business that is fucking us over every year

I would love to hear from @JJetset as to what happened on deadline day with the signing of Llorente and not Pace.... I would rather have Jansen or Soldado than Llorente, he is just a big pile of shit

 

[Mr Pink]

I can’t even pin this on Sissoko..

Thank fuck. Because the abuse he'd be getting from some of you ball bags would be insane right now.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

That performance today was one of many reasons why he's not world class. Spurs is about his level. Same with Son.

You know i was looking at Willian play the other night, he was outstanding and i don't believe he is the only player out there who we could find with similar skills and mindset who wouldn't come to Spurs.

Whoever we currently have, and whatever system Poch plays we have zero answer to breaking down a packed defence. Our main competition for the top four do, and in spades.

Our CL performances far overshadow our PL form and it's bugger all to do with the fixture pile up and more to do with having too many like for like players.

 

[Streetspur77]

It's not that bus parkers are easy to beat, but that Pochettino makes things harder for himself by not having the right players on the bench.

So poch needs to take a long hard at himself because he didn't put an untested 18 year old and a player who's been out for 13 months and played 60 mins of semi professional on the bench?

 

[kaz Hirai]

Think we should really make the most of these at least 3 remaining CL games.

Pool, Chelsea and arse definitely playing better than us these days quite easily

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

May be a bad time to compare our left backs but Rose is superior to Ben Davies. He has some x-factor while Davies has none.

Agree but it's understandable that Poch is easing Rose back in, we really need to give Aurier a run at RB because Trippier doesnt tackle anyone.

 

[panoma]

Rather we kept Janssen instead of Llorente. Janssen atleast work like crazy involving himself if nothing else

 

[WiganSpur]

Eriksen and dele need to be dropped , I don't know for whom but it has to happen ....

Our problem in a nutshell...

 

[Janice]

Fucking west brom again.... why them - they seem to be our nemesis - reminds me of Coventry in the 90s.
Shit side but we can never get a result against them

Beat them 4-1 last yr great performance that

 

[TheChosenOne]

MOTD cancelled, media blackout in force.

Tuesday is Leicester day . Must win.

 

[Deleted member 27855]

We need more players that can go by their man with the ball at their feet. Teams now just jam the middle against us and dare us to beat them on the outside.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Another poor league result at Wembley

In fairness we suffered from this last season.

 

[thinktank]

Like I said...we should have gone all out for the league cup this year.
