Match Threads LASK vs Spurs - Match Thread - Round 5

[freeeki]

He scores (penalties against dreary Alpine bus drivers) when he wants.

 

[UbeAstard]

We're lucky to go in on parity. Is Doherty so not the best player on the pitch (even without the slip), though the others arent playing well either.

 

[minesadouble]

3 flat strikers doesnt work.
Bring on Alli behind Bale and son

 

[Blake Griffin]

Very lucky to be drawing. A total shambles not one player over a 5/10 rating. Hope Jose bangs there heads together!

japh's been good.

We were second best in all departments in the first half. Play like this on Sunday we will be thumped by Arsenal

Is unreal all 2nd balls, rebounds and ricochets will just fall to LASK players.

 

[JayB]

Would it be an exaggeration to say that was our worst 45 minutes of football under Jose? I genuinely can’t remember worse.

Rather we get our shit performance out the way tonight than on Sunday, can't take potentially losing to those twats on the weekend.

We still need to make changes.

We were playing well with Sissoko in beside Hojbjerg. At the moment Lo Celso and Ndombele are too high to get the ball from the defence, and giving Hojbjerg far too much to do on his own.

It makes me laugh that 90% of fans were calling for that midfield. Sure it is only 45 minutes but it went exactly how I thought it would. Maybe, just maybe, the managers know more than fans?

Sheffield United 2nd half

 

[Hazelton]

Fuck sake Bale I was going to stop watching.

 

[Wizzy77]

Am concerned teams did homework on Hart supposedly weaker left side, and a few teams have took speculative shots to his left and a few have turned into great goals

 

[mark87]

japh's been good.

Couple of wayward passes but other than that I agree.

 

[Laboog]

Not playing great but were given a gift before the half. Time to regroup and finish this out. Just get out of here with a point or ugly win and move on. I think the players heads are on Arsenal right now.

 

[minesadouble]

Give it to em at HT Mou

 

[Monkey boy]

Wow, I hate LASK and their pressing.

so does everyone in our team

 

[Shadydan]

That right hand side is a shambles, Bale isn't tracking back and Doherty might as well change his name to Gary, I'd be tempted to swap Lucas and Bale over if that's the case.

 

[lennon180]

Not that I’m questioning anyone cos I am that person too that wanted this trio but this midfield 3 not so great. Genuine question. Do we think that it’s the opposition, the occasion, the unfamiliarity? I don’t think it’s going to change Jose’s mind anytime soon after that half. I’ll also add I think he did this purposely to test it out. Just interested in peoples takes in it.

 

[ardiles]

Based on what I’ve seen so far, and not just this game, I think that Doherty doesn’t suit our system and Tanganga will vie with Aurier for the RB spot.

5 subs and an Insta post coming up at half time!
