Match Threads Norwich vs Spurs - Match Thread

[davidmatzdorf]

Both Kane and Alli should have put us 1 nil up before we conceded. That happens and I think we stroll to an easy win. For far too long now we consistently miss big chances at big moments in games. Until we learn to be ruthless we’ll continue to drop silly points as our defending is something you’d associate with a championship team.

We have scored 23 goals in 10 matches since Mourinho arrived. Seriously, I don't think our attacking unit is the problem. All attackers miss chances. They are paid to take risks and try stuff, not play safe. The idea that Harry Kane isn't "ruthless" is a bit ridiculous.

It's the 17 goals conceded in those 10 matches that are keeping us from climbing further up the table. Defenders are paid to be organised and secure, not to try audacious tricks and risk mistakes. That's where the problem is - that and the lack of effective cover in deep midfield.

What went wrong?
We didnt take control of the game in first half. And we should be able to do that to teams like norwich.
Unlucky not to score on the two big chances before their goal.
Our defense are a shambles. Jose needs to fix this fast.

At what point do we have a proper clearout?

Son’s sending off is looking stupider by the minute at the moment. Not only is it costing us going forward but it also means Harry has to play every minute. Not ideal going forward. At least he will get a rest in the FA cup. Mourinho will have to go with Son up top in that one.

Or, not having a backup striker is looking stupider by the minute.

You didn't watch the Chelsea game?

I think I’d blanked that out having an aneurysm in the stands

I thought Norwich played well and deserved the point. They play some good stuff and there are far more teams who deserve to go down for being far more tedious than they are. TN was great, CE did much much better and Lo C got stuck in a lot and covered back a lot, liked him. Foyth is always an accident waiting to happen, so relieved he got hooked. And although he was unlucky with the OG, Aurier is possibly the worst (nominal) right back I can recall seeing at Spurs. How on earth there can't be somebody better in the entirety of world football who is both affordable and gettable to replace him I cannot fathom.

We should go all out and signed Max Aarons

Talking to his uncle the other day, he reckons it will happen.

To us?

To us?

Yes. I know we should take it with a large pinch of salt but he seemed to think it was happening.
