Match Threads Wolves vs Spurs - Match Thread

3 points away from home all I care about

We rode our luck there. Big improvements required before we face Chelsea and the Gooners or it’s going to be painful viewing.

It baffled me how Lamela at 90 mins was still full of energy, but Eriksen could barely look bothered to run

Luxury player. Certainly not one you want to put on to shore up a CM. Poor sub by Poch.

I don't know - Maybe the club are telling the truth about Eriksen, and he is not fully fit...

 

[THX2208]

Agreed, it's just such a shame that he has so little ability with a football.

I wonder how Sissoko would fair at Right-Back *LOL

 

[mark87]

Personally don’t think either were nailed on pens. And neither were Foyths fault. Thrown to the Wolves. Literally. By Trippier.

I’m off to the ratings thread.

They were definitely both penalties.

 

[Marty]

I feel bad for Foyth, but I'm furious with both full backs. Two dismal displays where everyone who ran at them got past, and Trippier fucking about leads to Foyth conceding a penalty when we've just established control with the third goal. That takes away any and all goodwill he built up with his assist.

And as we have no leaders on the pitch we fell absolutely to pieces as Wolves smelled blood. We had no midfield, Winks was bypassed and for all Sissoko's hard work I've just tonight realised that he also doesn't know how to tackle. He harries, he intercepts, but he doesn't tackle. No midfield and no functioning full backs means it was a minor miracle we held on.

Can't dig out Trips and not Foyth

Winks was utter dog, our CM is non-existant

 

[bozzaSPUR]

LOL. What's that about?

Don’t you read anything!!

 

[Davo99]

Trippier needs to go. The midfielders can create the goals. The full backs need to be able to fucking defend.

We need to sell him. He’s not suddenly going to become a good defender. Ben Davies seems to have gone completely down the pan as well.

Really think it’s time for a change now.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Luxury player. Certainly not one you want to put on to shore up a CM. Poor sub by Poch.

I think the expectation was more for him to help hold on to the ball - not necessarily bust a gut playing defense.

 

[thinktank]

As things turned out, what we needed was experience. It was good he didn't come on.

He was perfect for that situation.

 

[spursfan77]

Typical of Poch not to take Foyth off and also the correct move. He’d want the player to play through the experience. Will serve him in good stead going forward.

 

[Saoirse]

Luxury player. Certainly not one you want to put on to shore up a CM. Poor sub by Poch.

It's not like he had many options with three of our five CMs injured and the other two already on the pitch.

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

Taking Son off was a crap decision in the end I thought. Kane scored but that was all he did right today.

 

[Dannyspur]

everyone is forgetting the two world class saves their keeper made to keep out Kane.

I have to agree with you.

 

[isaac94]

Dont bring him on in that case then

 

[SdB]

I am not laying any blame whatsoever on Juan Foyth for that, the person to blame is Keiran Trippier.

The “support” he offered a young player making his PL debut was absolutely disgraceful.

Trippier has had a terrible season thus far and I hope that Aurier rightfully takes his spot.

Trippier would be a decent right midfielder for his delivery (albeit slow) or a FB in a 5.
Very poor defender.

 

[Blackrat1299]

Poch needs to give trippier a right royal rollicking His P45!

Updated for you.
