Match Threads Norwich vs Spurs - Match Thread

[THFC_SWE]

29 goals conceded in 20 games. We need four new defenders and a defensive midfielder. The defenders we got are not good enough.

The belgians are not good enough anymore. They used to be top class defenders, but not anymore. Look at Alderweirelds positioning at times, it's terrible. And he doesn't got the pace to cover it up. The only time we give praise to Toby is when he makes a good pass. He's still very good in that aspect of the game, but does it matter when his defending is nowhere near where it used to be? Vertonghen may play out of position, but it's obvious he's not god enough anymore. And don't get me started on Foyth and Aurier..

If I never see Eriksen take another corner it'll be too soon

 

[Saoirse]

To be fair I dont htink we should be asking him and Toby to play twice in 2 days. They both need to be rotated some more. I fancy Davies to come back in soon.

Last we heard Davies was in Qatar seeing a specialist, sounded like a long-term one.

 

[BSJ93]

Two goals conceded from mistakes again.

 

[VoteMe4Prez]

That Wanyama replacement and Aurier replacement are the big issues to sort. Can Trippier come back?

 

[Spurs_Bear]

Don’t be disheartened lads, we’ve got the 3rd best squad in the league, and a better manager will sort it.

 

[mmidgers]

Aurier is a complete liability.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Defence is a shambles, surely Jose knows now that the players cannot be improved & he should be knocking on Levy's door, otherwise what was the point in sacking Poch, cause at this rate we wont even make Europe

Foyth even looks like conceding a penalty when he's defending well.

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

Foyth 1st half chance before he gave away the goal was classic him, came charging in was waiting for Norwich player to go down but he managed to stay up, Foyth won the ball but instead of clearing it decided to dilly dally around in the hope that Norwich could get a shot it,not to worry only a few mins later his dilly dallying got it’s just reward... Personally would be happy enough not to see him play for us again, he just never learns, makes Charlie Adam look like Einstein.

I am part of SC remember...

Don’t we know it

 

[Humbleone]

You just know we haven't won when the thread reaches over 100 pages

 

[mil1lion]

He’s truly world class when he doesn’t have time to think about it. Give him time to think and he’s championship.

I agree he's a reactive player who plays best with his instincts. I remember for a long time Keane used to be the same though. The criticism of him today seems a bit harsh. He wasn't too bad, did great to set up Kane for the penalty and just offside for his goal. He just needs to learn not to slow down when in on goal and just put his foot through it.

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.

Makes me laugh that Norwich are a shower of shite when we played them yet they beat the champions of the last two years. I think we should have beat them and I’m sorry we didn’t but get some perspective, we are mid manager mid season. Norwich is not a banker as is none of this league anymore. Bar Liverpool no one has been great. Money has created the best league in the world there are no pushovers. Get a fucking grip

 

[ardiles&villa]

Jamaal Lewis is a very good player and probably better than max arons

 

[L-man]

 

[jonnyp]

Toby has almost backed into the back of the net three times this season alone which have just let a player take his time and place the ball behind our goalkeeper. Three fucking times the exact same thing. How can he not learn from that?

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

RB and DM badly needed, if we dont do anything early in the window we wont get top 4

 

[pablo73]

I genuinely thing we could and would be where Liverpool are if we had done what they did, ie made the right investments at the right time over the past 3 years. They did and we didn't and we are seeing the results now, that is on Levy as far as I am concerned.
