Match Threads West Ham vs Spurs - Match Thread (EFL Cup)

[dtxspurs]

my biggest concern is wanyama and how porous our midfield got as the game progressed. I'll repeat what I said Monday - we need a CM in January.

100% agree pal. I think you can scrape together the box to box player for the season, which sucks thats what we're asking at this point, but DM absolutely has to be addressed.

I can kind of agree on Aurier but I felt KWP was frighteningly outpaced and outmuscled by Antonio and positionally completely in the wrong place for their goal. First time I've seen him play and not been impressed.

Definitely can't agree with this. Awful passing and movement on the ball, dispossessed in a few bad areas and not in the right place or strong enough in the tackle. I felt he wasn't in the game at all.

Thought both fullbacks were pretty poor today. The one thing to keep in mind with KWP is he is pretty inexperienced and is used to being able to beat most players for pace, playing a muscular quick winger is very hard without a bit of experience. He will learn from today.

Agree on Wanayama, it felt like we were playing without a midfield parts of today, he was a major part in that.

We played ok. Even so, the only non first team player who showed they deserve a bit more was Foyth. What a game he had.

Be hard to see how Foyth doesn't get opportunities in the prem now, I'll be annoyed if we don't give him the chance to break in.

Easy. Davinson is also a future world class centre back and still only 22. We also happen to have Jan and Toby (although the latter is looking ropy as hell). I'm sure the time will come.

 

[ajspurs]

Anyone but City or Chelsea away.

 

[Paolo10]

Or he replaces Toby when he fucks off.

 

[Westmorlandspur]

Ray Houghton commentating on Talksport was full of praise for Foyth’s performance.

 

[ajspurs]

Arsenal away

 

[JCRD]

NLD - Bring it bitches

 

[cjbyid]

Arsenal away.

 

[Westmorlandspur]

Arsenal it is next round away

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Is it just the injury with Wanyama, or has something else happened? He was a warrior.

 

[tototoner]

I'll take that, as close to a home game as we could get

 

[Marty]

FFS the amateurs who have the rights for this in Norway are previewing City's game tomorrow instead of following the draw.

 

[scat1620]

Oh fuck off.

 

[ardiles]

Well....if Toby and Jan don't sign new deals....

We’ve now got verts till 2020 but I hope at least one of them signs an extension.

 

[Ionman34]

WE GOT THE GOONS!!!

 

[C0YS]

Fucks sake. This Arsenal side doesn't look unbeatable by a long shot, but I feel we need a bit more time before taking them head on. Will be a tough one!

 

[thebenjamin]

Finally we get to play in North London

 

[yankspurs]

Arsenal away.

Away meaning Emirates, Wembley or Stadium MK? We’ve played 70+ matches away in a row already.

3 PL teams in a row and the group of death in CL. Draws haven't been kind to us this season
