Match Threads Palace vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 4 - KO 12:30pm

[Paceyjg]

A manager that does nothing to affect the match when the performance is that bad, is not a good manager!

 

[dannyo]

Going to be a long hard season.

Will say it again.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see Nuno as a long term manager.

The problem there is assuming we have a long-term plan ?

 

[VoteMe4Prez]

The worst thing out of all the awful things about today was Harry Kane. I mean I just didn't see him do anything of note.

 

[Conando]

That was embarrassing from start to finish; I know we are missing players but that was utterly pathetic.

Tactically, I have no idea what we were even trying to do never mind doing.

Individually, to a man; woeful on the ball, passive without it.

The fact Nuno didn’t change anything at half-time is the most frightening aspect for me.

 

[Phil-spur99]

We are fucking fortunate to win the first 3 games. Fucking thick plasters over the cracks.

Cracks? Black Holes!

 

[dSSAbr]

Now probably will be safe to criticize Nuno without getting killed, our options are shit, but if we going into game with that midfield, at least let your full backs go forward. So far othe only game i saw something positive was the game against Man City, even though they deserved to score.

 

[PLTuck]

That was terrible, but I really don't think you can underestimate how much not having Son, Steve, GLC, Romero, Sanchez, Dier after 5 mins available and us not being able to trust Tanguy has affected us.

Palace not kicking the ball out when Lucas was down was the turning point.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Still can't fucking get over Conte. Nuno please do yourself some favours ffs.

 

[TonyK]

That one was totally on Nuno today. Yes, we have injuries and players on quarantine, further injuries and the red card made matters worse, but that midfield lineup by Nuno was fucking criminal. We know what PEH and Skippy can bring to the party but FFS, surely that has to be Winks last ever start in our shirt. There were poor performances all over the park today don’t get me wrong, but that surely must end any debate about winks.

 

[Gbspurs]

Win this and we go 5 points clear at the top… When has that ever happened in the past 60 years?

Spursy.

 

[Erm33]

I seem to recall this board declaring Edouard not good enough for us.

Lol

Like a lot of players, not good enough for us but good enough to score a lot of goals against us

 

[yojambo]

Just one of those days unfortunately. Going to be more of them this season.

It's frustrating but we can't buy "success". We are going to have to stick together through the bad matches and build something over time.

 

[jolsnogross]

If you're going to replace an injured Son with Winks, you're inviting trouble. Nuno has made a rod for his own back now, and likely to be conservative against Chelsea too. That was terrible the whole way through

 

[wirE]

Mental ? pathetic overall

 

[Pochemon94]

God Damn he was prime Poche with those subs.... fuck man I hated Jose but at least he had the nuts to occasionally go for it/when we were losing would bring on attacking options to at least go for a draw fuck. I feel like if Nuno had the option he would play 3 winks in midfield because they have "heart". I can't believe i woke up at 4:30 AM for this shit, i should've gone back to sleep when i saw the lineup

 

[Joshua]

Can’t deal with another season like this. With even the wins being ground out based on defensive grit rather than playing actual football. How have we gone so badly wrong. This isn’t Tottenham for fucks sake.

 

[isaac94]

yes we had a lot going against us, but the way nuno set up and wasn't proactive enough to at least try and change the game when we were getting battered is unforgivable

 

[cjbyid]

Going to be a long hard season.

Will say it again.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see Nuno as a long term manager.

Yeah he definitely isn't.

He's just a cheap option as levy fucked up our managerial search.

 

[wiggo24]

When Nuno was linked we were all fuming. When he was appointed and did that little PR interview about making everyone proud half the fans suddenly decided he was something he isn't.

It's going to be a season of late era Jose-esque football but probably without the completely unsustainable over-performance by Kane and Son to drag us through.

 

[Ashen]

Emerson Royale making a debut against Saha. He won't forget that. Why not a few sub appearances?
