Match Threads Norwich vs Spurs - Match Thread

Still don't see how ND and Le Celso fit in the same team. That midfield was a train wreck in the first half.

It's not quite as thrilling as coming back from behind against Norwich - twice - admittedly, but I honestly think you'll reconsider in November when we're enjoying one of those glamorous European nights against Boavista or Sion.

If we had our usual shit team we would have been relegated. Bloody lucky we were decent

You started strong but faded. Should have doubled down. I'd have gone with wankers or pricks personally.

On the contrary, the finale had me pause for a second, but then I laughed out loud. The more I read it, the funnier it became.

I’m now convinced it’s genius. I’m gonna use it, even when not in a football context.

I'm willing to give Foyth, as a young defender, the benefit of doubt. He will grow and become a better player.

Aurier on the other hand is already at the age where he should have ironed those mistakes out of his game. So I agree with you on Aurier

Will he though? We’ve seen countless players in football not being able to cut mistakes out of his game for their entire careers.

Ndombele what a player we have there. Skilful, attacking, makes things happen, brilliant to watch.
Along with Kane first 2 on the team sheet
COYS !!!!

I think Mourinho chose the right personnel but the wrong formation initially. He switched it up and we prob would have won if not for the own goal. The last 35 minutes was the most controlled and pressurized football we’ve played since he took over.

I’m glass half full today.

Even if you somehow raised £250m to buy five first-team ready players, odds are half wouldn't work out, half would take time to adapt, and none would benefit from having to come in simultaneously with no existing defence. Rome wasn't and can't be built in a day. We need a RB and a DM in my books with Aurier and Wanyama out.

I didn't say we should buy five players at once. I just stated that we need new defenders. I never set a time frame.

They're just not good enough. The lack pace, agility and positioning. But yeah, I think we need many new defenders.

 

[Gb160]

what about a goal that absolutely should never have been ruled out for offside?

We've had them ruled out when we've scored them.
I think its it's called 'the rules'.

 

[wirE]

Let’s do 3 at defense again. We tried with Poch. It does not work clearly

 

[TEESSIDE1]

What about a freakish own goal?
Lets be honest, that's why we've only got 1 point and not 3.

What about their dodgy offside goal? We were poor and didn’t deserve to win the game. If we weren’t so shit at the back or up front then we ‘may’ have won the game but until you actually out score the opposition and win the game what may and may not have happened is irrelevant.

I’m staying positive, we just had a bad year. 2020 will bring 100% win record.

 

[jondy1]

I don't think Foyth, a young player with plenty of potential, and Dier, who's shown his quality but struggled with illness, deserve that level of disrespect. Both either have been or could be good players for us, unlike Aurier who has performed poorly and been a questionable fit for our ethos from day one.

Ok I will give myself a slap

 

[Typical Spurs]

It was the same under Poch last season though. We regularly went a goal behind and the manager had to change things to turn things around. A time comes when we have to realise that it’s not the manager but the players.

Agree mate. That said, Poch wouldn't have changed it at HT though.

U mean the offside one?

We're shit at the back I'll give you that.
That's the reason we're dropping points.

Great performance second half really should have won it

I’m glass half full today.

We looked dangerous up until the own goal and then we went back into 1st gear with no intensity. Even after we equalised we still created the square root of fuck all. It’s simply not good enough.

 

[jondy1]

I like ndombele can only see him getting better..lo celso I am not sure about yet

 

[Hazelton]

Was very good 2nd half.
Who would you play with him? Sissoko?

That's the question, I'm not particularly keen on any of them.

 

[Graysonti]

Much better second half.

Ndombele and Sanchez looking decent.

That sort of comment isn't welcome in here Shelfy.
