Tottenham vs West Ham: League Cup Match Thread

[Coneilly]

even in success we will have an echo of failure

 

[paulcumpstone]

Hopefully Poch will roast them for that second half complacency and that should mean a reaction against Utd...

He might struggle as they will have the argument what the fuck were you doing with them subs.

 

[jonathanhotspur]

Why are Vorm and Tripps smiling and winking after that shitshow?

 

[Gringospur]

Bad decision making GKN... a Tottenham player

 

[midspur]

Oh well. Cest la vie

 

[The Apprentice]

Really don't get taking Llorente off when losing. He wasn't offering much but was always going to come into play in the last 15 with the lumps into the box. We starting crossing it as soon as he went off. Not the most intelligent of in-game decision making from the boys.

 

[idontgetit]

If a proper midfielder had come on early second half we'd have walked that 4-0. Fucking hope Poch learns from that otherwise we can fuck off winning any trophies this year.

 

[thinktank]

Yeah i didnt like that either.passed thr buck.grow a pair of bollocks.

Done that loads since Walker left. It's odd. Used to sweep it in early. Needs to turn that back on.

Llorente didn't get anything from him tonight and that's criminal with his quality on the cross

 

[Colston]

I don't even care that much about the result, but I almost broke my hand slamming the table when N'kudou ran that potential counter out for a throw.

 

[JayB]

Pochettino himself deserves a measure of blame for that, it was obvious even at 2-0 that the players had completely switched off and he should have shaken things up with a substitution as soon as they clawed one back. Dembele is never the player you turn to when chasing a game, and the decision to take Llorente off and then start putting crosses in defies belief. Baffling all around really.

 

[Danny1]

Not good, not good at all. Pretty embarrassing to lose that game and am now going to have to listen to the idiot West Ham fans I work with who are gonna be all smug!

We have bigger fish to fry so hopefully Poch will give them a firm kick up the arris and we go into the Utd game determined to win.

 

[Ashen]

i was "meh" at 2-0 i'm still "meh" at 3-2. Its really no big deal - they scambled in some goals- thats all.

 

[glacierSpurs]

I don't like losing. And never should the team has that mentality it is alright to lose, no matter how minor the game is.

I just feel sorry for Sissoko who scored a wonderful goal proper and lost to conceding 3 in the second half. Just when we thought his confidence is gonna come back, it just might hit a bit.

 

[markiespurs]

Taking our only remaining semblance of a 'striker' off (and best player all game) and bringing on n'koudou... what?

Told you everything about Pochs priorities as far as I'm concerned

 

[Jenko]

2 nil up we fell asleep. It had been too easy. West hams hate should never be underestimated like that though. That's what pushed them through.

Then they had that extra fire in them to get the winner and hold onto it while spurs couldnt switch it back on.

 

[theShiznit]

[insert any player name here] played this game like he doesn't give a shit, should be embarrassed.

Fyp.

 

[tiger666]

Real Madrid must be rubbing the hands together

Fucking hell we just had a game of the season against them at their place with our first team. Calm down.

 

[kaz Hirai]

GKN is fucking awful.

Got hated on for saying that in the summer, he's n'average

And all he does is post lifestyle pictures on his account, watches, with his car etc. needs to coast on his limited talent at another club and use Edwards instead

 

[Sevens]

Terrible. Poch needs to learn to keep his mouth shut about certain things. He publically states finishing above Arsenal isn't important, we blow it and finish below them. Now the League and FA Cups aren't important and we blow it.

The bottom line is we are unlikely to be winning the Premier League anytime soon (although it is great that we are challenging) and we are very unlikely to be winning the Champion's League anytime soon. Poch needs to win trophies and keep us in the Champion's League. The two realistic trophies that Poch can win are the two he doesn't give a toss about and by proxy the players won't give a toss about now.

No excuse for tonight. We rested some key players but the team put out was more than strong enough to see out a 2-0 lead.

 

[dannythomas]

We have a free kick just outside the box with 5 minutes left. Trippier takes it, misses , then Eriksen comes on. Something tells me the sequence of those events wasn't quite logical.
