Match Threads Spurs vs West Ham - Match Thread

I reckon we'll miss Wink's game tonight.

@TonyK

Winks on 2nd half to help turn the game?

 

[SpursD22]

If I was Jose I would bring on Bergwijn for Lucas, Ndombele for Alli and push Lo Celso higher up and then maybe bring Lamela on for him, Sessegnon in for Davies and have 2 attacking fullbacks

West Ham defending very compact especially in midfield with Soucek, Noble and Rice so we need movement in attack and midfield, make runs behind their back line. Sissoko needs to stop hiding from the ball

It’s amazing how one simple piece of technology has rendered an entire sport unwatchable.

Got us to the Champions League final too

I know @Wheeler Dealer will disagree but the second half of that half was like watching Pochettino's Spurs. High defensive line. Total control of possession. Lots of probing (and backwards sideways passing).

And like Poch's team of old we finally fashioned a couple of very good chances (thanks to the closest thing we have to Eriksen: Lo Celso) and are unlucky to go in 0-0.

Much improved last 20 minutes.

Dier, again, very solid at the back.

What a mindbogglingly dull half of football. Even if next season is twice as entertaining as this it's still going to send me to sleep.

 

[spursfan77]

We grew into it. At least we tried attacking.

Passing still awful, and we still can't play through midfield atm...

We don’t have a single passer in the squad.

 

[Ray_Evans]

Bet you weren’t saying that when the Man U pen got overturned the other day

Of course not ?

It's spoiling the game, though.

 

[mark87]

Always gonna be tough playing against 11 men behind the ball.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Think we are playing ok really bar about a 5 min period we’ve completely dominated them. Now for this bench that Jose goes on about to make the difference.
COYS

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Get winks on for sissoko. Bergwijn for Lucas. Need more footballers on the pitch.

Need Aurier to play RB and allow more space for a creative players to operate. The midfield is way too cramped and players like Alli lack the touch and brains to be effective.

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Dele slowing everything down. Kane having to come deep. Opened up a little in last 10, but WHU sticking 10 men behind ball. So little space.

 

[WiganSpur]

Think Ndombele for Sissoko is the obvious first sub

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Take off and sell Dele, bring on Ndombele. Move Lo Celso forward and we win this game comfortably.

The fact Dele started this game is a slap in the face to every single player on the bench. He’s embarrassingly bad. Killing our attacks constantly.

 

[Mattspurs1982]

Lucas for Stevie B, NDombele for Alli and push Gio forward

 

[The Apprentice]

Winks is going to help break down the bus?

Better than Sissoko impersonating a bus in midfield.

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

Winks is going to help break down the bus?

Assist King

[leelee]

PUSH LO CELSO FURTHER FORWARD!!!

Bring Ndombele on in place of Dele.

 

[Romulus]

no point having Alli and Lucas on the pitch... they provide nothing

 

[bubble07]

We need sanchez or dier to have confidence and of course execution to pass between their line of 3 players. If we can improve that we will have more space

Only really annoying issue this half
