Match Threads West Ham Vs Spurs

[Impspur1]

Turgid and spineless against a wham team not at their best. Lucky to leave with a point

I would say we showed a lot of spine, not playing well but not losing.

 

[Arden]

I’ll take that two away draws against two teams playing their cup finals was never going to be an easy task

 

[Hawk_Spur]

Lucky to get away with a point in the end. Poor showing.

Still much to be optimistic about. Have had some tough away fixtures where we dropped points last season.

Would love some creativity on Deadline Day.

 

[Crow]

Needed changes after an hour. We had nothing left, legs looked gone. Conte really has to use the squad better, that was poor.

 

[THE SPURSBOY]

1. Conte clearly doesn’t trust the squad.
2. conte just doesn’t want to use anyone but Ritchie or bissouma as subs.
3. Whilst Emerson, Davies, Sanchez are playing we will be a poor team.
4. Are front 3 are just not firing, son and Kane are not playing well.
5. It’s 5 subs and we made 1 when we played 3 days ago and play again Saturday
6. We are playing very poorly, the system looks awful it’s not working and quite frankly if this is contes master plan it’s not going to make us a better side.

Couldn’t have said this any better

 

[dannyo]

Awful. We need a stronger bench. Why was Skipp on the bench if he wasn’t going to play because both CMs were awful?

Agree. We had no one there to bring on and try and win that game

 

[yojambo]

Watching Lloris and Sanchez fumble around trying to pass out from the back is so aggravating man. They cant do it, find a plan b.

 

[Chimbo!]

Another good result in a difficult game.

I think the Sanchez/Royal combo badly affects our ability to play out. It’s our biggest weakness. They are defensively solid but we also lose a lot with both of them playing.

 

[amathews3416]

Shit performance but still should have won it 1-0 if it wasn’t for Hugo’s dreadful distribution and getting beat at his near post.

 

[Bobbins]

First disappointing result of the season. Honestly a really poor performance all round, several players looking way off the pace.

It's a good job we've got a lot of games coming up because the new signings (and Skipp) desperately need to play themselves into form and fitness, and the whole team needs to get into some consistent patterns and rhythms.

At the moment it's JoseBall 2.0, combined with a total inability to play through the lines of a low block.

Glad to remain unbeaten but we do not look good.

 

[MikeLondon]

Lloris was appalling. Really missed Bentancur, and crazy to take off Deki.
Bad day at the office for all concerned.

 

[JSpurs1]

Im sorry but if your harry kane, why the fuck would you be signing a new contract. We are so mediocre. Conte clearly only trusts about 14 players. Not signing a proper centrehalf will cost this club this year. Dreadful

Alright calm down mate. A poor 2nd half granted but we aren’t mediocre. Literally played 72 hours ago as well so probs lots of tired legs.

 

[djhotspur]

I don’t think there was much on the bench to change that game though.
We needed the starting XI to see that one out.

Of course there is. We have to at least try, we play again on Saturday and then on Tuesday we will throw our season away if conte continues to not make subs and is this inept.

 

[kieranfitchett]

Another point we didn’t get last season, should’ve capitalised in the first half but we’re far too easy to nullify, especially with Sanchez and Emerson as our right side, Romero so crucial, we’re a different side without him

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

It was one of the worst halves under Conte. Lloris and Sanchez fucking around playing it out and putting us under massive pressure. Both are so bad when pressed to play it to feet. At least Bissuma grew into the game. Sonny, he needs a goal desperately.

 

[Ashen]

1 substitution?

 

[spursfan1991]

Conte's system requires world class wing backs, we bought a very good one in Perisic but we forgot to upgrade on Royal and Doherty.

 

[punkisback]

Conte is coaching them to play a certain way.
But we have no plan B.

And the players are too scared to take their own initiative and be creative.
Rabbits in headlights. Too slow, devoid of self expression and creativity.

To be honest the squad is devoid of creativity in terms of personnel, it’s not just tactics. However if your tactics are to play with no playmaker this is what happens. So robotic, only Kulu looking to pull something off.

 

[The Apprentice]

Let’s be honest, there’s only so long your luck can run when you’re not performing. That second half was absolutely dreadful.

Staggering how no further changes were made from Conte.

We have to get Romero back and absolutely have to integrate Lenglet. That back three (along with Hugo) is so unbelievably poor on the ball that West Ham let them have it, knowing they wouldn’t do anything bar humping it.

The passiveness of passing between Royal and Sanchez is comical.

We missed Bentancur. His calmness and more progressive passing would have helped, with Bissouma and Hojbjerg playing Captain Safe five yard football all night.

We need a conversation about Son. 2 or 3 games is a blip. 5 straight guff performances need addressing. Surely doesn’t start v Fulham.

Disappointing as West Ham were absolutely there for the taking.

 

[spurs mental]

Painful. First half we were in total control and never really looked under pressure outside of the 5 minute spell they had after the abysmal VAR decision.

Second half was as bad as I've seen us since February. The referee didn't help us with his abysmal officiating, giving West Ham everything when they screamed for it.

We really need another midfielder in the mould of Bentancur because we missed him dreadfully. Bissouma had a mare but he was playing with one hand tied behind his back for a soft yellow card. Would have liked to see Skipp or even Sarr on to give us some extra legs in midfield.

One sub from Conte, he didn't do enough tonight, but then last season he did say if you can't win the game it's important not to lose, and we didn't lose so that's important.

Very very disappointing though considering we played well first half.
