Yep, I know someone who rates our wingbacks ....Everyone has their kinks
Yep, I know someone who rates our wingbacks ....Everyone has their kinks
Against mostly crap teams
here's a novel idea if you're a player - try your fkn bollocks off ...run for the team, your team mates and leave it all on the pitch. if you lose, you get applauded by all fans as you played for the shirt! Today the players were shit ...they constantly took the easy options (sideways & backwards passes), not one tried to make vertical passes or runs - they all stood still. So yeah, as fans we have every right to feel fucked off because that was a piss poor effort (mentally and physically). These players should ask themselves to stop being cowards in these big gamesWe keep not turning up for these sort of games, as a fan it's incredibly disheartening fuck knows how the players must feel.
Ideal scenario is we back into top 4 and Conte walks at the end of this year. This club is regressing under him.
It was obvious from about the fifth minute that Hojbjerg was gassed. Surely it’s better giving a fresher Skipp a game rather than playing a chugging Pierre.
Not that it would have affected the game a great deal, but if we keep running the same players into the ground, we’re going to see a lot more of this over the next month.
I’ve honestly not got a clue what Conte’s plan was tonight. We’ve not pressed. We’ve not really tried to hit them on the break other then once or twice. We’ve sat back and knocked it across our back three and invariably either given away a throw in 20yds from the bye line or hit an aimless ball to Kane with no runners going beyond him.
Nearly 30 shots on our goal is shameful - especially when we’re supposedly set up to control the midfield.
Games like this say so much about Spurs. We’re flat track bullies and not a single one of those players has an ounce of fight in them. When we’re under pressure we wilt. We have a niaive streak in this club a mile wide - the amount of stupid fouls we give away, constantly diving in, trying to play out from the back with a keeper who is so iffy with the ball at his feet it’s untrue. And it doesn’t seem to change regardless who is the manager.
Maybe the 3-5-2 only works when we change midway and the opposition doesn’t have enough time to figure out a way to beat it? Maybe we are just shit.
FypI do have the feeling Conte is more to blame than the players tonight. The way we approach games is totally fucking wrong.
The only positive tonight was Lloris.There’s a massive difference between a shit performance and all of our players being shit. Hojbjerg isn’t shit - he had a terrible game by his standards so far this season. Bentancur too. There were very few positives but let’s not slag our entire team off
It's not only one game though, the way we play is predictably bad. I think there is a bigger problem here.
The issue is it isnt just one game. At times we have played well but more often than not we have flattered to deceive. That performance some will say its the players - we lost against a team that had Fred who if you asked you would swap for any of our three midfielders, wont would say no. They didnt have Eriksen nor Martial who is their best striker
Im not gonna get exasperated over this but that was a shockingly bad performance and this whole sitting back business has got to stop. We do need Kulusevski but do we really rely on one player?
