Tromso Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[tiger666]

phew. now we can relax and slow it down.

Yup. Time to bring on Livermore and shore up th... oh wait

 

[JRegan]

i just so want AVB to get townsend off the right and start playing him on the left to whip in balls, solves townsends endless shooting and provides crosses for bobby and means lamela should play on the right

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Can we now try something else? Please dad.. I mean AVB, we've won the group, can we do something fun now?

No, we're dominating possession so why should I change it?

 

[CowInAComa]

im flabbergasted that a team that has recently been humiliated in front of the football world can in their next game show no desire or intention at all. Just surely you would have though professional and personal pride would have kicked in and we would have come out to give this lot a hiding.

They literally dont seem to give a fuck. No pride at all.

Just amazed. The mentality amongst our squad is just pathetic.

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Bale made Avb look very good

Spot on.

 

[PeeEyeEmPee]

this criticism for Soldado is getting really stupid now. can anyone point to just ONE game this season where he's been given any decent amount of service? it's all well and good to criticise his body-language, but I defy anyone to tell me they wouldn't be the same after spending a third of a season getting NOTHING from the rest of the team.

and seriously...what does AVB have against playing a left-footed player on the left and a right one on the right for even a short time? at the very least let's get some proper width and crosses into the box, and try and build up some pressure that way? I'm an AVB fan, but it's seriously frustrating to see us continually banging our heads against a wall, and doing nothing to try and change it

 

[kaz Hirai]

I don't even remember what a goal from open play looks like.

gilfi wonder goal in league cup, that help?

 

[Rupstoh]

It can only be a training exercise to see who want's it most

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

I really thought this would be the game we looked to pick Soldado out, disappointing, still, Vlad had a go with a ball over the top, Capoue is gonna be a real cultured footballer for us, Dembele looks lively in spells, Chadli is fit again.
Fryers needs to practice crossing, never seen someone stop and cut in as much since Naughton played on the left.

Stop being positive...!!!

 

[Spur4life]

Just got home from work. Anyone score yet ? Did not expect so

 

[nowayjose]

Good luck to him.

Nobody could afford him

Feels a little like when Lpool bought Robbie Keane, good striker and all but possibly not the right fit. (though the psychology of change is not to be discounted and end of season might give a different story)

 

[THFCSPURS19]

And to think some fathers spend hundreds of pounds to take them and their son to go to norway to see their team play but have to end up watching this shit is ridiculous
I will admit it, if we lose to United and show no desire (which we won't), I will firmly believe that we have to find a new solution

 

[dagraham]

wow.

we just never fail to disappoint do we?

just wow. literally no desire at all.

That's why some of the kids should be playing. The first teamers aren't interested at this crappy stage of the competition, let alone in arctic conditions. It was the same last season when we played in this comp.

Nice stuffed polar bear/animal segway from Matterface. Good work

I've been to Tromso twice & for the life of me I can't remember seeing too many stuffed Polar Bears.

Hammerfest however, a bit further up the coast, has a Polar Bear Society - outside of which is a stuffed Polar Bear. I am a proud member of the said society, the highlight of the induction is being 'knighted' on both shoulders with the giant penis of a Walrus. Beat that Matterface & Carlyle.

Has the 2nd half kicked off yet?

 

[ItsBoris]

I don't understand why we keep doing the same shit. 70% possession but hardly a chance to show for it, against a team that is Championship quality at best. Imo it's the sloooooooooooooowwwww build up play that does it.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Inverted wingers will get AVB sacked imo.

AVB will get AVB sacked... If that happens. Inverted wingers works just not with AVB's tactics.

 

[shelfboy68]

He'll blame the snow and artificial pitch no doubt.

Ha yeah probably and the prevailing wind as well.

 

[Berglad]

Inverted wide players is just a joke imo, makes me piss that Soldado is the only one trying to get a cross into the box.

inverted wide players combined with useless fullbacks and conservative center midfielders

 

[Spurger King]

gilfi wonder goal in league cup, that help?

I was watching that game, but went for a piss when Siggy scored.

I wish I was joking.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Soldado is not ever afraid to challenge for balls passed/crossed into the box, yet our midfielders are so reluctant and seemingly skeptical to pass/cross to him.. WTH..
