Match Threads Wolves vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 15

[Escher]

We really need to start again, rebuild from the ground up, I mean that literally, so not just getting rid of Jose and most of the players and also sacking all the management, but knocking down the stadium and rebuilding it from scratch too.

Maybe we need to move to East or even South London as well.

Funny how Aston villa were able to counter attack yesterday with 10 men and score 2 goals.

Because they have genuine pace upfront. We have Son and nothing else. Also they have two centre midfielders in McGinmn and Luiz that dare to pass the ball between the lines.

 

[rupsmith]

That’s what I’m saying.. Ndombele should be our deep lying play maker. It’s what we brought him for! he’s so good at breaking the lines with his passing and he always draws players onto him which would give our attack more space. Hojbjerg Ndombele as a 2 with dele or Lamela ahead

Hmm. Fair comment but think he’s not the type who has that range of passing. Two of him would be a good in a midfield 3. I think Jose needs a couple more windows to complete the refresh,

Wimbledon fans said Milton Keynes is nice

 

[Rout-Ledge]

Christian Gross has just joined Schalke. There goes that option.

how bizarre

 

[Thewobbler]

Just seen there goal again. Kane could have got there but he was to slow to react. Not his fault, he's played every minute in 5 games since palace and hes done a lot of defending. He must be absolutely shattered.

let's not go fucking crazy

So how about playing our quick players instead of leaving them on the bench. I assume that's how you play counter attacking football.

He said the players lacked ambition and he will deal with it in private. I'm not sure how the players seem to be escaping the majority of criticism here.

Lot of Jose haters who seem to want the team to do badly so they can be proved right.

The squad isn't good enough and I will continue banging that drum until this squad is Jose's rather than a hodgepodge of those he wants and those he doesn't.

Tell me

Lloris
Aurier - Toby - Dier - Reggie
Ndombele - PEH - Lo Celso
Bale - Kane - Son

isn't good enough. Please tell me.


For fucks sake.

Let’s go south. Total restart.

Let’s go south. Total restart.

Woolwich Hotspur has a lovely ring to it.

 

[Mark_147]

That’s an over simplification. A deep lying playmaker who can connect defence and attack like a Modric is what we are seriously lacking. NDombele is very very good in the attacking 3rd of the pitch but someone has to consistently get him the ball. Not once or twice. Hojberg breaks up play brilliantly but when he looks to pass there is really no one who can build up play which is why it goes sideways or backwards. Winks and Sissoko are simply not good enough.

Ndombele was playing in a midfield 3 up to West ham game and we were lethal on the counter attack. After that game mourinho started playing him higher up the pitch.

Agreed, that team can challenge anyone if they're on form.

We keep hearing that "Jose doesn't have the players" but teams like Southampton have a worse squad man-for-man yet are more than the sum of their parts.

We consistently look less than the sum of our parts.

 

[dbspurs]

Tell me

Lloris
Aurier - Toby - Dier - Reggie
Ndombele - PEH - Lo Celso
Bale - Kane - Son

isn't good enough. Please tell me.


For fucks sake.

Yep.

Bale is not producing the goods for a number of reasons mainly fitness.

Ndombele and Lo Celso can't play together as has been shown on a few occasions already so you need to put Winks or Sissoko who are both not good enough.

Toby is on the outs as a top league player and Dier isn't good enough.

Aurier is a good player with a severe game mentality defect and as such is a liability.

That's nearly half the team and the current replacements are not any better.

Squad needs to be overhauled. I have posted a breakdown on other threads.

 

[DEFchenkOE]

What would be the worst case scenario if we played this lineup for a long stretch of league matches?

Lloris

Aurier Alderweireld Dier Reguilon

PEH Ndombele

Bale

Lamela Kane Son
​

Would the results be worse? I doubt it. If this team clicked, would our results be better? Almost certainly. Yet it's a near certainty we won't see this lineup, or any involving Dele/Lo Celso and others who have the ability to help us reach our aims.

​

Swap Bale for Lo Celso and you would be onto something. Can't play Bale ahead of a double pivot and behind 3 other attackers. And there is certainly no way Jose would.

Mourinho won't play our best XI, just accept it now rather than hurting yourself with hope across the next few months.

Lamela for Bale or Davies for Reguilon would also work well. It won't happen though.

 

[dbspurs]

I see some people are living in denial regarding the quality of our squad.

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

I see some people are living in denial regarding the quality of our squad.

when you’re being outplayed by the likes of Brighton, West Brom and failing to beat the likes of Wolves, West Ham, Newcastle and Palace despite leading in all those games... if you can’t see it goes beyond the squad, then you may need to rethink who is in denial
